PestEx 2026, the UK’s biggest pest control trade exhibition and conference, is underway today at Excel London.
The theme of this year’s two-day event is all about levelling up – raising standards, sharpening skills and delivering more for customers, teams and the industry.
Lauren Day, BPCA events manager, said: “We’ve really challenged ourselves to level things up this year. PestEx has always been the biggest event in the pest management calendar, but for 2026 we’re making it bigger, more hands-on and more interactive than ever.
“We’ve expanded the floorplan to bring in more exhibitors and more innovation, and we’ve built a programme that gives people plenty of reasons to stay, explore and get involved over both days.”
Ms Day said that visitors will notice the scale of PestEx 2026 when they arrive at the hall.
“The exhibition space is larger, and there’s a real buzz around what exhibitors are planning,” she said. “There’s some genuinely exciting stuff quietly coming together behind the scenes.
“There are new products, live demos, interactive challenges and a few surprises that people won’t see anywhere else. A lot of exhibitors are clearly raising their game this year, which makes PestEx feel like a proper destination event rather than just a trade show.”
