Why Pest Control Rules Matter
Rules in pest control go beyond paperwork. They ensure treatments work effectively while reducing risks to people, pets and the environment. On the other hand, ignoring professional guidance can create lasting problems and legal issues.

Industry Associations Supporting Pest Professionals
Trade bodies provide up-to-date advice, training, and technical guidance that keeps our technicians informed. These professional resources ensure we maintain high standards and comply with legal obligations. At Shire Pest Solutions, we apply these associations’ guidance directly to our local jobs.
Key associations shaping our work
- British Pest Control Association (BPCA) — the leading trade association for pest control professionals, offering guidance, training, and codes of conduct.
- National Pest Technicians Association (NPTA) — provides technical updates and professional development for technicians.
- Campaign for Responsible Rodenticide Use (CRRU) — offers best practice advice for rodent control while protecting wildlife.
Government Guidance and Local Pest Control Advice
Government bodies and local councils provide the legal framework for pest control. They regulate pesticide use, health and safety, and environmental standards. By following these rules, Shire Pest Solutions ensures that every job meets legal requirements and local bylaws.
Useful resources include UK Government Pest Control Guidance and Health and Safety Executive (HSE). Local councils in Didcot and Wallingford issue specific guidance that we integrate into our services, keeping our work fully compliant.
Wildlife Protection and Conservation in Pest Work
Some pests overlap with protected species. Before taking action, we always consider wildlife laws and apply for licences where necessary. This approach safeguards biodiversity while allowing effective pest management.
Organisations guiding our approach
- Natural England — licences and guidance for species management.
- RSPB — advice on bird protection when nests cause issues.
- Bat Conservation Trust — legal guidance on handling bat-related concerns.
Public Health Research and Pest Management Guidance
Pests can transmit diseases, so our approach relies on research and surveillance. UK Health Security Agency (UKHSA) monitors insect-borne threats. These insights allow us to choose safe, effective solutions that protect clients’ health.
