t’s our favourite time of year: PestEx 2026 is just around the corner! Our two-day event is the jewel in our events crown and will be back at the Excel in London on 18 and 19 March.

In a world where we’re all striving to demonstrate professionalism, this year’s theme is about levelling up and delivering more:

  • A bigger floorplan with more exhibitors
  • Panel sessions across two days in the Spotlight Theatre
  • New and familiar experts in the Technical Theatre
  • Hands-on challenges on the Pelsis proofing stand
  • New products, fresh innovations, competitions, and giveaways.

Yes, you read that right. We don’t seem to be able to just stand still, so of course we’ve increased the exhibition space - again!

This means more stands to visit, more products to see and more chances to get to grips with the latest pest control technology and the people who bring you those products.

Taking the time to speak with manufacturers and distributors of pest control products gives you fresh insight into the latest industry trends - valuable knowledge that helps you stay competitive and informed.

Don’t underestimate the power of interactive learning! There’s no substitute for getting into a room and experiencing live demonstrations of products and engaging in workshops.

Check out who will be exhibiting here.

Pest control doesn’t have to be a solo game

From large companies to sole traders, connections are so important in pest control.

If you’re looking to forge new partnerships, get advice or exchange ideas, PestEx 2026 is going to be your chance to connect with likeminded pest professionals, product makers, and industry leaders.

PestEx is the biggest networking opportunity you’ll have in the UK pest control industry - as a truly international event, we have visitors and exhibitors from all over the world across two days.

This year we’ve built in more chances to connect, including our Young Professionals meet-up in the coffee area, because those conversations matter.

If you want to catch up with a member of the BPCA Staff team but you're maximising your time, why not drop us an email to let us know and we can pencil in some time: hello@bpca.org.uk

The XP grind

Knowledge isn’t just given - it’s earned. And PestEx gives you two days of seminars, debates and case studies to learn from, engage with and reflect on.

That’s a whopping 13 CPD points up for grabs and every single one of them keeps you building on your expertise, to make you the best pest controller you can be.

This year you’ll hear from industry bods on topics ranging from yellow-legged hornets, rodent trapping and bird control surveys to acquisitions and working with EHOs.

Learn all about best practice, industry news, and emerging challenges facing pest management at the biggest gathering of pest control experts in the UK, where industry professionals share knowledge and insights.

The full list of seminars and sessions can be found here.

Don’t miss out!

It's too late to pre-register but you and your team can still rock up on the day and get your free entry badges.

With the latest innovations in the industry to see, competitions and prizes to be won, and a ton of CPD opportunities to take advantage of, you can’t afford to miss the chance to be part of the biggest pest control experience in the UK.

See you there!

Best wishes from BPCA's events team.
