Sighthound 49 Posted January 9, 2008 Report Share Posted January 9, 2008 I'm a landscape gardener but through word of mouth etc I'm getting more and more pest control work. Mainly rabbits, moles etc. I'm thinking of moving it up a gear and was considering doing this course, BPCA/RSPH (Level 2) Certificate in Pest Control. Is it worth it? It's quite pricey £985 +vat And does it give you your tickets for the use of chemicals, baits etc. Quote Link to post Share on other sites

The course you mentioned is a good one but there are others available. Most pest control suppliers will not trade with you unless you can prove you have had adequate training to be able to use certain chemicals. Also take into consideration your Insurance requirements as well (public liability) as this is not cheap either. Rolfey. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
