The pest control solutions manufacturer, exhibiting on stand 73 throughout the event, will invite visitors to join them for an old school game of space invaders.

Every pest controller taking part in the fun will receive a free BASF hat, and the highest scorer will take home an exclusive BASF bundle. 

It will also be offering guests a first look at its new CPD training portal, with a sneak peek available on stand and pre-registration open exclusively to attendees. 

The team will also be available to share information on BASF’s popular product portfolio, including the award-winning Selontra, as well as Storm Secure and Roguard Xtra, and will be providing expert advice and practical tips on stand. 

Laurence Barnard, Country Business Manager for BASF’s Professional & Specialty Solutions, commented: “PestEx is the largest pest control exhibition in Europe, so naturally it’s one we all look forward to!

"We’re hoping to have a bit of fun on stand this year with my space invaders arcade game and bring out that competitive spirit, and we’ll also be giving pesties a first look at our new CPD portal.

"As always, there’ll also be plenty of merchandise on stand and we’ll be around to troubleshoot any challenging jobs and get feedback on the products,  so make sure you head over and say hello!”

On the Technical Theatre stage, BASF’s global technical marketing manager, Sharon Hughes, will be delivering a talk on rodent behaviour at 10.30am on day one of the event.
