Why do I need the BPM manual
The level of expertise of pest control technicians has changed over the years, and while the basics such as the recognition of animal signs still need to be learned and developed, there is a requirement to be technically competent in other areas such as:
Relevant legislation
Pesticide use
Resistance to pesticides
Health and safety
Environmental protection
The responsibility that goes with the use of pesticides is considerable, and the need to protect the environment forms an increasingly important part of the pest technicians' duties.
As well as being an essential tool for the core training of pest control technicians, the manual can also be used effectively for refresher training and by supervisory staff and others for reference purposes on a daily basis.
Ideally, the BPM Manual should be utilised as an everyday reference manual, and should not replace undertaking formal qualifications or training courses.
What does the BPM cover
Written and edited by industry experts the manual has been designed to cover the following areas:
Principles of Pest Management
Legislation
Invertebrates
Commensal Rodents
Mammals
Urban Birds
