CPD VIDEO

Secondary poisoning is one of the most important challenges for pest management professionals to understand. In this video, Alex Wade, Global Technical Marketing Manager for BASF, explains what secondary poisoning is, why it matters, and how you can minimise risks while maintaining effective control.

You’ll learn:

  • The difference between primary and secondary poisoning
  • Why nearly 90% of barn owls carry rodenticide residues
  • Practical steps to reduce risk, including smart baiting strategies
  • How environmental and process controls fit into an integrated approach.

Whether you’re new to pest management or an experienced technician, this session will help you sharpen your risk assessment and improve your professional practice. 

All information is correct at the time of filming.
