Rated as the second-best member benefit, beaten only by the BPCA logo and the doors it opens, our Find a pest controller tool is trusted across the country.
The tool has changed a lot over the years and is now getting over 107,000 hits per year, so we thought it was a great time for a quick benefit refresher!
This benefit is all about connecting you to real domestic and commercial business opportunities. It’s a win-win for everyone involved.
You get a client referral from BPCA, and the client gets connected with a trained and trusted pest management company.

Search results
Once an end-user (the potential customer) presses search, they’ll get a list of all members that cover that area and your phone numbers.
You can cover as many different postcodes as you like. They can see your company logo, phone number and a link to your unique profile pages.
Search results appear in order of the closest office address first. We only allow one listing per company.
