	09 August 2010 Issue 10 July & August 2010
	One big theme emerges in this issue. It's a well trodden path - professionalism, or the lack of it! There's a feature on pest control on TV which also touches on the dreadful practice uncovered by BBC's Rogue Traders. Then there's news of a new qualification for grain store advisers and a widlife focus, including our front page story on urban foxes... read on.
	11 June 2010 Issue 9 May & June 2010
	With PM David Cameron warning the country to be ready for big cuts in public spending, in Issue 9 we look at how some councils are already tackling the challenge of providing an ever more cost-effective service. We also cover summer pests including fruit flies, wasps and feral bees and an evaluation of EFKs and much more...
	09 April 2010 Issue 8 March & April 2010
	We address two key issues in this edition - each the subject of ongoing battles. The first concerns Brussels, where legislators, it seems, are once again threatening to ban anticoagulatnt rodenticides. Go to page 7 for full details of this madness. On the same page we also have a report on the latest NPTA rodent survey. The second 'battle' is the ongoing quest to manage and control bedbugs. Starting on page 11 we have a 16-page supplement on this topical issue.

	15 December 2009 Issue 6 November & December 2009
	What a year it's been here at Pest. We've taken our idea to publish an independent magazine, website and e-news and turned it into reality. At times we've been overwhelmed by the number of you signing up to receive our publications and, through it all, we've had unstinting support from our advertisers and our techncial advisory board. We hope you enjoy this latest issue.
	23 October 2009 Issue 5 September & October 2009
	There's a heated debate about the imapct of the BBC Rat Pack series on the professional image of the pest control industry. We asked all sides to tell us what they thought and they did - see pages 8-11! But is this anxiety misplaced? Do we really know what the public thinks? Have we ever asked them? Is there anyone out there willing to rise to the challenge and fund some market research?
	26 August 2009 Issue 4 July & August 2009
	Many readers will have been on holiday soaking up the sun abroad so it's appropriate that this issue has a strong international flavour. There's coverage of a massive new contract in Libya for Rentokil and details of a new idea from Pelgar - the overseas emergency POD system. There's plenty of home news too. Adrian Meyer argues that something must be done to combat rodenticide resistance whilst this month's Pest Test, worth two BASIS PROMPT points, is on clothes moths. Read on...
	17 June 2009 Issue 3 May & June 2009
	It's time for issue 3 already. We're certainy finding plenty to write about. We are particularly pleased to report that reading Pest now qaulifies for two BASIS PROMPT CPD points. If you are not yet a PROMPT member, take a look at the PDF 'Be the best and be recognised' to find out more. One of our main techncial features this issue is fly control and we have used this to introduce a new initiative - the Pest Test with more CPD points up for grabs. See the PDF 'Summer time is fly time'.
	06 April 2009 Issue 2 - March & April 2009
	Welcome to our second issue. We would like to thank all of you who have sent us messages of congratulations. Thanks are also more than due to our loyal band of advertisers who had faith in what we set out to achieve, without having seen a single publication. PestEx 2009 is upon us and Pest will be there to meet our readers, sign up new people and to report on the goings on. We hope to see you there.
	16 February 2009 Issue 1 - January & February 2009
	It’s time to change the way UK pest control gets its news. Busy pest professionals need a source of independent news, technical information and analysis covering the industry. So, welcome to this, the first issue of Pest magazine.
