Green Pest Control
Integrated Pest Management (IPM)

We carry the latest in effective environmentally friendly, non-toxic pest control products. Please ask us for more information.

Residential homeowners may be more at risk from chemical-based pesticide products than from the insects they are trying to control. Parents looking to ensure the safety of children and pets should try safe, non-toxic control methods for controlling insect pests before resorting to potent chemical formulations.

We assist our customers with preventative measures and proofing works to help protect their home and the environment too.

Whether it’s eco-safe treatments or minimising our carbon footprint during emergency callouts, sustainability is more than a policy — it’s part of how we operate, every day.

Responsible Rodent Control & CRRU Commitment in Herefordshire & Worcestershire

At PGM & Son Pest Control, we follow the CRRU UK Code of Best Practice for rodenticide use, setting the benchmark for environmentally responsible pest control across Herefordshire and Worcestershire.


CRRU’s seven‑point framework—covering planned treatment, traps-first policy, secure baiting, proper disposal, and protection of non‑target species—is central to our approach. These practices minimise wildlife exposure, safeguard pets and families, and ensure sustainable rodent management .

Our Green Approach by the Book

  • Integrated Pest Management (IPM): We aim to prevent infestations through site-specific surveys, rodent-proofing, hygiene advice, and non‑chemical barriers before resorting to rodenticides.

  • Traps First: Humane, effective, and reducing risks of secondary poisoning to local wildlife.

  • Safe Bait Placement: We install tamper-proof bait stations strategically to eliminate access by non‑targets—crucial in rural settings with native species and farm animals nearby.
     

  • Professional Survey & Disposal: Our technicians carry out pre‑treatment site assessments, record all findings, and dispose of rodent carcasses and unused bait safely in line with regulations.

Why it Matters for Local Homes & Businesses

Protecting Herefordshire & Worcestershire’s countryside and wildlife: Our methods reduce ecological impact and are tailored to the sensitive environments of rural communities.

Keeping you compliant & covered: As members of both CRRU and the British Pest Control Association (BPCA), our team meets the highest standards of training, certification, legal compliance, and ethical responsibility.

Staying Ahead for the Future - We are Redefining the Pest control Industry

We’re proactive about upcoming CRRU UK rules: from January 2026, all professional users of rodenticides will need CRRU-approved training certification within 5 years, or membership in a CRRU-endorsed CPD scheme. We’re already compliant and ready—so you get fully legal, up‑to‑date care.

Why Reducing Food Waste Is Key to Pest Prevention

Pests thrive in environments where food waste accumulates, making smart household habits essential. That’s why Reducing food waste to keep pests at bay: How sustainable food practices can help with pest control isn’t just a catchy phrase—it’s a practical guide to greener living.

 

By planning meals more efficiently, storing food in airtight containers, and composting responsibly, homeowners can cut down on organic waste and eliminate the food sources that attract pests like flies, wasps, rodents, and cockroaches. These sustainable actions support eco-friendly pest control approaches and contribute to a healthier home and planet.

For commercial businesses, especially those in the food, hospitality, and facilities sectors, reducing organic waste is not only vital for hygiene but also for regulatory compliance. Implementing waste separation protocols, securing bins properly, and collaborating with food waste collection services helps keep premises clean and pest-free. Staff training, regular audits, and smart stock rotation further support sustainable pest control, while enhancing corporate responsibility and brand reputation.
