Launching a pest control business means handling business registration, biocidal product authorisation rules, anticoagulant rodenticide stewardship, COSHH for treatment chemicals, food-safety client expectations on bait-station records, protected-wildlife law (bats, owls, badgers), and clear treatment scope and consent records. This guide covers business setup, BPCA membership routes, the practical realities of integrated pest management, pricing per treatment versus contract pricing, vehicle and equipment setup, and the first-90-days checklist for building a domestic and commercial round responsibly.
