What Does It Really Mean to Be a Pest Professional?

0:00 / 14:28

Tonight's Episode

Welcome to the first Pest Perspectives Solo Edition.

This is a new format for the podcast where, instead of interviewing a guest, I sit down on my own and share my personal thoughts, experiences and opinions on different subjects within the pest management industry.

For Episode 01, I'm asking:

What does it really mean to be a pest professional?


Does holding a qualification automatically make somebody a professional, or is professionalism about what you continue to learn and how you conduct yourself afterwards?


This Solo Edition is designed to start discussion rather than tell anyone how they should think.


Everything discussed in this episode represents my own personal views and opinions only.


My views are my own and should not be taken as representing the views or official position of the National Pest Technicians Association (NPTA), any organisation I am involved with, Oakham Pest Control Ltd, podcast guests, sponsors or any other third party.


I'd genuinely like to hear what other pest professionals think:

What does being a pest professional mean to you?

Join the discussion in the comments.
