2022 is shaping up to be a massive year for professional pest management. Just look at the page count of this issue – there’s so much to get through!

With changes to label conditions of your bait boxes to new developments on glue boards in England and Scotland, there’s plenty to catch up on in this issue. 

Regular contributor Chis Cagienard takes a look at some pivotal new research into the humaneness of rodent control products, and Ian Andrew examines when a pest isn’t a pest. These kinds of issues are likely to pop up A LOT this year – so take note.

Starting from PPC’s back cover, you’ll find the PestEx Showguide. Use it wisely to plan your days; you won’t see everything and meet everyone, so prioritise your time wisely.

When writing this, Covid-19 restrictions are easing again, so we’re confident that PestEx will have an air of celebration that no pest professional would want to miss. 

BPCA’s annual report summarises all the work we did together in 2021 and is an opportunity for members to scrutinise the Association.

BPCA isn’t just the Staff team or the Board – it’s ALL of you. That’s why we publish the report here, for the whole sector to read. 

We’ve still managed to fit in plenty of technical articles, the latest news, legislation updates and member stories. 

PPC interviewed long-time volunteer Rob Long from Sabre Kent to discover why he has put so many years into BPCA’s Board and Committees.

Michael Coates from Combat Pest Control talks all things physical and mental health as our newest regular contributor. 

Whether it’s bird management, best practice updates, thought-pieces or just 56 pages of valuable CPD – PPC has got
you covered.
