The professional association for the UK public health pest management industry
British Pest Control Association represents, supports and assures more than 700 member companies and the wider pest management sector.
Who we are
A home for competent pest management
Poor pest control can harm health, trade and the places people live. The Association exists so the public can tell a competent contractor from a hopeful one, and so companies that prove their competence have a professional body behind them.
Members cover the whole of the UK. If you have a pest problem, an assessed member can advise and carry out the work. Look for the member logo: companies earn it, they do not simply print it.
