Pest Perspectives – Episode 46 (with Andrew McDonald, UK Patang Supplies)

In Episode 46 of Pest Perspectives, Shaun is joined by returning guest Andrew McDonald - back for his third appearance, this time representing UK Patang Supplies.

Andrew shares the story of how he became the owner of the business, what it’s really like behind the scenes running a specialist trap supply company, and why product design, testing, and honest feedback matter in a tight-knit industry.

You’ll hear about:

• The reality of manufacturing and product development (and why some products take years to get right)

• Why quality control matters - and how UK Patang Supplies handles the occasional bad batch

• Dispatch expectations and logistics from the Scottish Highlands

• Practical advice for anyone starting out in mole control - courses, learning resources, and trap choices for different ground conditions

• A discussion on pricing, value, and why working for free can damage the trade

• Plus: white moles, trap preferences, and plenty of real talk from the field

Andrew also highlights a charitable donation initiative running 18th December to 18th January 2026, where a donation will be made from every order placed, supporting a mental health-related cause.
