VOLUNTEERS

BPCA have set up a new Special Interest Group (SIG) focused on best practice and guidance around arthropods. 

The BugWise SIG will be run by our Technical and Compliance Manager, Niall Gallagher, and will meet once every quarter to discuss how to:

• Create new guidance or codes of best practice (COBP) around arthropods
• Improve existing guidance and COBP
• Build relationships with key stakeholders (ie Royal Entomological Society)
• Enabling an increase in professional standards for arthropod control
• Discuss increasing access to academic research around arthropods. 

Anyone can join a SIG, whether you're a member, non-member or even from outside the pest control industry. 

Niall commented: 

"The volunteers in our other SIGs, WildWise and BeeWise, already do great work in other spaces for us. We want to extend that to other areas of interest, and BugWise was the next logical step. 

"We'll be announcing other SIGs soon too, so watch this space!"

If you'd like to talk more about BugWise or register your interest in joining, get in touch.
