Following the sell-out success of last year’s inaugural event, pest controllers from across the UK are invited to Hurcott Farm, Somerset, for a one-of-a-kind training experience focused on rural pest control.

Returning for its second year, the On the Farm training day – hosted by leading pest control solutions manufacturer BASF, in partnership with Killgerm Chemicals, – will take place on Wednesday, June 25, from 8:30am to 4pm.

The event offers a practical, interactive agenda packed with expert-led demonstrations, group discussions, and hands-on sessions tailored specifically to pest control challenges in agricultural settings.

This full-day training is priced at just £60 (+VAT) and includes a breakfast and a delicious BBQ lunch. Delegates who hold an approved UK stewardship certificate will also receive a free 3kg tub of Selontra and a 3kg tub of Monitoring Paste to take home. CPD points are also available for pest controllers who attend the training day.

The day will cover a wide range of topics, including a practical proofing workshop, a mole control masterclass, an insight into grain store baiting practices, Environmental Risk Assessments, plus a hands-on activity on covered and protected baiting.

Laurence Barnard, country business manager for BASF’s Professional & Specialty Solutions, said: “After the overwhelming response to last year’s event, which sold out in record time and received outstanding feedback from attendees, we’re thrilled to bring “On the Farm” back for a second year. This hands-on training day is designed to provide real-world, practical advice for pest controllers working in rural environments, and is one of the most unique events in the industry.

“With live demos, expert insight, and a deep dive into wider pest control management, best practice and strategies – it promises to be another unmissable day!”
