In this guest webinar, Steve Campbell, Senior Wildlife Biologist at Science and Advice for Scottish Agriculture (SASA), will share the latest findings from the UK’s rodenticide resistance testing programme, delivered in partnership with the Campaign for Responsible Rodenticide Use (CRRU UK). 

Steve will explain how DNA testing works, where resistance genes are emerging, and what that means for pest controllers, farmers and gamekeepers on the ground. You’ll learn how to take part in the free tail-sample testing scheme, how results feed into the UK Rodenticide Stewardship Regime, and why your contributions are vital to the national resistance map. 

Whether you’re treating urban infestations or rural grain stores, this webinar will help you understand how to make resistance-aware control decisions, and why collecting and submitting samples could help the entire profession stay effective for longer.
