VIDEO: Field work in pest control

VIDEO

In this talk, Clara Guisan from Pest Solutions shares hands-on research from the field, revealing how data collected on live jobs can transform the way we tackle pests. From behavioural resistance in mice to bait trials, genetic resistance mapping, and pathogen studies, Clara shows why getting out there and recording what we see is vital for the future of our industry.

You’ll learn:

  • What behavioural resistance looks like in practice
  • How different bait types and presentations affect success
  • Why genetic resistance testing matters for compliance and control
  • The value of industry–academic collaboration
  • How better data helps us adapt to regulation changes and work more humanely

If you’ve run your own trials or spotted unusual pest behaviour, we’d love to hear your story - drop us a comment or get in touch!
