WIN: Take part in the Future of pest management survey 2025

RESEARCH

BPCA is once again asking pest professionals and business owners across the UK to share their insights for our Future of pest management research project.

858 sector survey hero

Take the survey now

The first survey, conducted in 2023, provided us with some of the most valuable data we’ve ever collected about the state of the pest management profession.

It helped shape our policy work, direct research priorities, and even strengthen our case when speaking to regulators about the challenges our members face.

Now, two years on, we’re ready to update that picture – and we need your voice.

Your responses will help us:

  • Protect your professional toolkit by providing solid, evidence-based data for lobbying and advocacy work
  • Guide BPCA’s strategic direction and identify where support is most needed
  • Improve the training, resources, and services available to members.

As a thank you for taking part, you’ll also have the chance to win a brand-new iPad 11th gen.

Why your input matters

The pest management industry is changing faster than ever. From shifts in chemical regulation and product availability to digital monitoring and sustainability expectations, the pressures on professionals are growing.

Last time, more than 800 pest professionals took part. Their feedback helped us secure meetings with government departments, influence training development, and highlight key recruitment and retention issues in the industry.

This new round of research will help BPCA continue to make your voice heard where it matters most.

BPCA Chief Executive, Rosina Robson, said:

The insights from our 2023 survey were instrumental in shaping our lobbying and research priorities. Now we need to refresh that picture. Every technician, business owner, and manager who takes part gives us a stronger evidence base to represent the industry with confidence and credibility.
