About the British Pest Control Association (BPCA) - Our Mission and Vision

BPCA is the UK pest management association for the public health pest control industry.

We're a not-for-profit organisation acting in the interests of our members and on behalf of the pest management industry in the UK. 

 

What is BPCA's role?

The provision of pest management and control services is an area which is often overlooked, however inadequate pest control can often have catastrophic effects economically, socially and on the public's health. BPCA promotes the highest standards of professionalism within the industry, allowing only organisations that prove their competence to join as members.

It's our role to:

  • Highlight the risks of inadequate control
  • Offer guidance in what to look for when searching for a pest control contractor
  • Provide general pest advice and guidance documentation
  • Provide advice on how to select an appropriate pest control professional.

Why use a BPCA member?

BPCA Codes of Best Practice outline the responsibilities and correct practices that members are expected to adhere to. Our Codes are subject to regular review by the BPCA Servicing Committee or are dictated by changes to legislation.

The Codes of Best Practice are publicly available, allowing you to see the standards BPCA members work to.

You can find a BPCA member, or check the pest control company you're using is a member using the search tools on our website.

What is a trade association?

A trade association is formed of like-minded businesses working together towards common goals. Trade associations are run by a sector for a sector. There are trade associations in almost every sector of the United Kingdom economy.

Associations are not-for-profit organisations which usually raise money through membership fees or subscriptions. The idea is if everyone pays a little, so together you can achieve a lot!
