Audited Pest Control Sites, BRCGS & Field Biology with Dan Lucas | Pest Perspectives Ep 72

Tonight's Episode

In this episode of the Pest Perspectives Podcast, Shaun Muller is joined by Dan Lucas from CSS Pest Services for a detailed and practical conversation about pest control on audited and compliance-led sites.

Dan shares his journey into pest management, from starting as a service technician through to service management and progressing into Field Biology. The discussion covers the realities of working on BRCGS, SALSA and food manufacturing sites, where pest control needs to be structured, evidence-led and properly documented.

This episode explores what good pest management looks like when audits, standards, reporting, monitoring, trend analysis, corrective actions and customer communication really matter. Dan gives practical insight into how technicians can approach audited sites, why understanding the site standard is so important, and how Field Biologist inspections help improve service quality.

Shaun and Dan also discuss pest risk assessments, monitoring point checks, non-toxic bait, visual inspection points, proofing recommendations, glue board licensing, integrated pest management, bird risks around loading bays and canopies, and what technicians should consider carrying when working on food and audited sites.

This is a strong episode for pest controllers, technicians, Field Biologists, service managers, commercial pest control companies and anyone interested in raising standards across professional pest management.
