12.45 - Optional discussion and evidence gathering on the use of glue boards

Following the decision from the BPCA Executive Board to fight the government’s plan to ban glue boards for rodent control in England and Wales we need your help to gather evidence to support our case - without your help there is a chance these tools could be lost forever!

We want to show decision-makers the critical role of glue boards in public health pest management through case studies from within the industry. BPCA’s technical team will lead a session aimed to guide you through putting forward a case study and how else you might be able to help fight this ban and save a vital tool for pest management professionals.

Please come prepared with a case study that you feel would explain the critical role glue boards play in protecting public health, More information can be found here: bpca.org.uk/glueboards
