The Pest Control Training course provides construction workers, supervisors, and site managers with the knowledge to identify, prevent, and manage pest risks on site. Construction activities can disturb habitats and create conditions that attract pests such as rodents, insects, and birds, which can pose health risks and cause damage to materials and structures.
Aligned with UK health, safety, and environmental guidance, the course covers safe working practices, hygiene measures, waste control, and when to engage professional pest control services. By the end of the course, participants will be better equipped to maintain clean, compliant sites and minimise the risks associated with pest infestations.
