VIDEO DEBATE: Life after glue boards - tackling rapid rodent infestations

CPD VIDEO 

New legislation in England, Scotland and Wales has severely restricted or completely banned the use of glue boards.

Pest management professionals nationwide must adapt to this new hole in our toolkit.  

It is important for pest professionals to reconsider their approach to those rodent infestations where they may have previously used glueboards.

This debate will encourage an insightful and helpful discussion around how we can tackle complex rat and mouse infestations that cause significant concern, without the use of glueboards.

In this debate session, we’ll ask the panellists: 

  • How do we manage rapid rodent infestation without using glue boards? 
  • How will we protect sensitive sites and public health without these speedy tools?
  • How can we get our customers on-side and reassure them we can still protect their sites? 

This video is intended for those working in the pest management sector.
