at e t 2019

PestEx is the British Pest Control Association's (BPCA) flagship event. It takes place on 20-21

March at ExCeL London, situated at the Royal Victoria Dock in the East End of the City. For the

first time in a number of years the 2019 event has been organised entirely in-house and, so

far, all the signs are that everything has gone pretty smoothly.

Ian Andrew, BPCA chief executive will be international professional pest management

taking part in his first PestEx. He trade show in Europe.

as two years ago. The total exhibitor list for as make a few new ones.

Most space is sold at there seems little doubt that PestEx 2019 will commercial rates but some displays come live up to its reputation as the most heavily discounted, or even free. For

example, neither the Campaign for

Responsible Rodenticide Use (CRRU), nor the

Rodenticide Resistance Action roup will

have paid for their stands.

Exhibition space was reportedly sold out in

November last year so, we suspect, that the

number of commercial exhibitors, i.e. those

who actually pay, is very likely the biggest

ever. Space is clearly at a premium as rival

trade association, the National Pest

Management Association (NPTA) is sharing

what must be a free space with the Pest

Management Alliance (PMA) – as a

member of PMA, BPCA is hardly going to

charge itself to attend its own event.

As ever there has been a turnover of

companies exhibiting. Some come one

year, never to be seen again, but they are

replaced by a selection of new 'first-timers'

dipping their toe in the UK, or maybe

European, waters.

A notable absence this year is Curtis

Curtis Dyna-Fog, Silvanderssen and B Equipment brands

will all feature on the large Pelsis stand.

eminar alore

As in previous years, the seminar programme has

concurrent sessions in the technical and the business

theatres. Cockroaches, bed bugs, rodents and invasive

species all feature in the technical theatre so something for

everyone. Two sessions particularly caught our eye. On

Thursday afternoon, Pel ar's Alex ade is looking ahead

to a world without pesticides and at 13.15 on ednesday

there's an intriguing session entitled 'How to hack smart

homes and business ' now that's got to be worth 45 minutes

of anyone's time

Once again, delegates will be issued with headphones to

listen to the presentations – meaning they can hear what is

being said without deafening those on the surrounding

stands. Places are on a first-come-first-served basis, so be

there in good time for the popular sessions.

riti h e t ana ement ward ceremon

At 16.15 on Day 1, after the exhibition has closed, the

British Pest Management Awards (BPMA) will take centre

stage. There will be a drinks reception at which the 2019

winners will be revealed and presentations made. This will

take place in the large technical theatre. This is the second

time BPMAs have been made. The thinking behind them is

to showcase excellence within the pest management sector.

It's an opportunity to reward the people that are making the

extra effort for the industry and for their organisations,

which in turn benefits everybody in the sector.

Something that's new for 2019 is the Afterparty. At the end

of day one, exhibitors and visitors will be able to head to the

iant Robot in Canary harf (five stops on the DLR) to grab

a drink and some food and to continue making connections

into the evening. Tickets cost 79 for members and 99 for

non-members, so it's not a cheap night out, but then

London's not a cheap city.

All registered visitors will be entered into a prize draw to

they will be able to collect a free limited edition PestEx
