Stop the presses! BPCA in the media

PESTAWARE

The press loves a creepy crawly story. We all remember how much bed bug coverage they ran with in October 2023 and that kind of exposure is great for the pest management industry. 

And the more stories BPCA appears in, the better for our members too. There are many benefits to your trade association having a media presence, including increased awareness of BPCA members and the importance of using a professional among the public, more traffic to our Find a pest controller tool (bpca.org.uk/find) and increased knowledge of pests and the damage they can cause.

BPCA spends lots of time working with the press to educate the public about pest awareness and the importance of using BPCA members. We've built and maintained a strong position in national and regional media, as well as in broadcast – and, of course, in more specialist industry magazines.

You’d be hard-pressed to find a news story about pests that BPCA isn’t mentioned in – a reflection of how much influence BPCA and its members have.

Here's a quick infographic with some key facts about BPCA's media work:
