BPCA puts farmers in control of training needs
The British Pest Control Association has two distinct options available to the farming community to ensure it can
effectively purchase professional use rodenticides and overcome pest management issues.
ption one is to take advantage
of BPCA’s professional network
of technicians, with the insight
and expertise to deliver the
right solutions for agricultural
environments.
Employing a BPCA member company
through the Association’s referral service,
means farmers have peace of mind in the fact
they are using a qualified technician who is
able to purchase and apply relevant products
that can tackle such issues of resistance.
The other option provided by BPCA is
specific, professional training.
The training route
BPCA offers approved rodenticide training,
starting with the popular ‘Using Rodenticides
Safely Programme.’
Taking part in this programme (passing the
exam), enables farmers and growers to
continue purchasing professional use
rodenticides.
BPCA training has been devised to offer a
comprehensive approach, which brings value
to the farming community through the inclusion
of features such as surveys and risk
hierarchies, health and safety, legislation and
record keeping.
Upon completion, farmers and growers are
well placed to improve the quality of their pest
management processes, and overcome rodent
challenges.
