Driving excellence in pest management

The Britsh Pest Control Association (BPCA) is the professional association for the UK public health pest management industry.  

It represents around 80% of professional pest management work conducted in the UK. As a trade association, it is the voice of the sector to UK and devolved governments.

The provision of pest management and control services is an area that is often overlooked. However, inadequate pest control can often have catastrophic effects economically, socially and on public health. BPCA promotes the highest standards of professionalism within the industry, only allowing membership to organisations that prove their competence.

Pest professionals help maintain public health, sustain the ongoing food supply from farm to fork and keep our critical infrastructure safe, including hospitals, schools and care homes.

BPCA’s role is to:

• Highlight the risks of inadequate control
• Offer guidance on what to look for when searching for a pest control contractor
• Provide general pest advice and guidance documentation-
• Provide advice on how to select an appropriate pest control professional.
