Why Pest Control Needs to Be Seen as a Real Career clip | Pest Perspectives EP 4

In this longer clip from Pest Perspectives Episode 4, Shaun Muller is joined by Debbie Wilson from Wilson Pest Management & Training to discuss why pest control needs to be recognised as a serious, skilled and professional career.

Shaun and Debbie talk about why pest control is often overlooked as a career choice, how the industry could attract more young people, and why pest control technicians should be seen as trained professionals who play an important role in public health, food safety and protecting homes and businesses.

They also discuss the risk of losing valuable industry experience as older technicians retire, and why the pest management sector needs clearer career pathways, better promotion, and more encouragement for the next generation.

A great listen for pest controllers, technicians, business owners, trainers, trade bodies and anyone interested in the future of the UK pest control industry.
