British Pest Control Association (BPCA) is a not-for-profit organisation and trade association representing over 750 organisations and more than 3500 individuals with a professional interest in the eradication of public health pests without risk to third parties, non-target species or the environment. Member criteria are strict, and include adequate insurance, professional qualifications, CPD and adherence to Codes of Practice.[1]
BPCA provides a wide range of benefits and services to members including technical advice and support, sample documentation, and appearance on the Association's directory.
Only full servicing and consultant BPCA members appear in the web-based search or via the telephone service centre based in Derby, where BPCA is administered.
Members of the public also find the Associations A to Z of pests an invaluable tool when understanding what pests, such as wasps, rats, mice or even bed bugs invade their home.
As of 2024, the current president of the BPCA is Chris Cagienard.[2]
