Technician Takeover highlights careers in pest control
A national trade body is handing control of its social media platforms to five pest technicians from across the UK for World Pest Day (June 6).
BPCA members will be posting from the association’s Facebook, Instagram, LinkedIn and X accounts to highlight the benefits of a career in the pest control industry.
Pest professionals have a key role to play in protecting public health, supporting businesses and safeguarding wildlife and natural environments.
The industry offers a variety of career opportunities and specialisms, such as working with birds of prey, field biologist and product development.
Taking part in the technician takeover is:
- Aislyn Risk, Pest Solutions, Scotland
- Carl and Craig Hoult, Reaper Bird Solutions, Norfolk
- Elsie Anderson, Pest Solutions Scotland
- Harry Leyland, PestForce, Doncaster

“BPCA membership encompasses a huge range of businesses operating in domestic, commercial and industrial sectors, using specialist techniques that protect the food chain, homes, businesses, wildlife and the environment from the potentially harmful impact of a pest infestation.”
