Organised by Pest in conjunction with the British Pest Control Association, the National Pest Technicians Association and Basis Prompt, the National Pest Awards are aimed at recognising and rewarding the best in the industry.

They're an opportunity for pest control companies to showcase their best and brightest talents, and the initiatives that are changing the way their businesses work.

Pest magazine editor Simon King said: “The awards were a great success and I’m sure there were a few sore heads around the industry this morning.

"Congratulations to the winners and thank you to the sponsors who made the event possible. We look forward to the National Pest Awards 2026.”
