Live canine detection demonstrations 

The highlight of our stand will be live demonstrations of our specialist bed bug detection canines.

These highly trained dogs showcase remarkable speed and accuracy in locating bed bugs, even identifying individual insects or small populations before they establish significant infestations.

Witness firsthand why canine detection has become the gold standard for hotels, accommodation providers, and businesses across the hospitality sector.

Our sniffer dog team's ability to detect bed bugs behind walls, under floorboards, and in concealed locations offers a level of thoroughness that visual inspections simply cannot match.

Environmental innovation and non-toxic solutions 

As industry leaders in non-chemical pest control, we'll be showcasing our latest environmental innovations at Stand 80.

Our expertise in heat treatment solutions - including spot and whole room treatments - demonstrates how modern pest management can be both highly effective and environmentally responsible.

Heat treatment is fast, non-toxic, and 100% effective in eliminating insects in all lifecycle stages, including eggs.

This makes it particularly valuable in sensitive environments such as food preparation areas, healthcare facilities, and locations with vulnerable populations. 

Meet our expert team 

Our experienced commercial team will be on hand throughout PestEx to discuss your specific pest management challenges and requirements.

Whether you operate in hospitality, healthcare, aviation, retail, or education, our team can provide insights into tailored solutions that address the unique needs of your sector.

We'll be sharing our latest approaches to preventative pest management, digital monitoring systems, and integrated pest control strategies that protect your business whilst minimising environmental impact. 

Industry-leading standards

As a family-owned and run business, we take pride in our accreditations and the standards we maintain.

Certified to ISO 9001, ISO 14001, ISO 45001, BPCA, and EN16636, we demonstrate our commitment to quality, environmental management, and health and safety across all our operations.

These aren't just certificates on the wall; they represent our ongoing dedication to delivering the highest standards of service to clients across the UK, including Northern Ireland and the Channel Islands.
