BRCGS Pest Control: Field Biologist Audits, Trend Analysis & Non-Conformances | Dan Lucas

Shaun talks to Dan Lucas, Field Biologist at CSS Pest Services, about the technical, detail-heavy world of BRCGS-audited pest control.

Dan walks through his career path from complete industry novice to service technician, service manager, and finally Field Biologist - including the exams that nearly caught him out along the way. They go deep into what auditors actually look for on BRCGS sites: building a site-specific pest risk assessment for a brand new building with zero activity history, how proper trend analysis works, why he avoids bagging non-toxic bait in most situations, what belongs in a technician's kit versus a Field Biologist's kit to avoid product contamination, and the practical reality of working under the UK's new glue board licensing restrictions on food sites. Dan also explains the QA process he runs on his own technicians and why clear communication with the client underpins almost every part of doing audited work well.

An essential listen for anyone working on, or wanting to break into, BRCGS or SALSA-audited pest control sites.
