Attending the National Pest Awards 2026 – A Landmark Night for Our Industry

On 9th September 2026, Pest Smart Solutions & Consultancy proudly attended the National Pest Awards 2026, an event that continues to set the benchmark for excellence, innovation, and professionalism within the UK pest management sector. Hosted in a vibrant atmosphere and attended by leading companies, technicians, biologists, and industry specialists from across the country, the evening was a celebration of the people who keep standards high and push the industry forward.

For me personally, attending the awards was a valuable opportunity to connect with fellow professionals, share experiences, and reflect on the evolving challenges and achievements within our field. The event highlighted the incredible work being done across commercial, domestic, and specialist pest control — from cutting‑edge rodent management strategies to advancements in environmental protection and wildlife considerations.

The ceremony also showcased the dedication of individuals and teams who consistently go above and beyond in delivering safe, effective, and responsible pest management solutions. As a BPCA‑qualified Field Biologist, it was inspiring to see the recognition given to those driving best practice, improving standards, and supporting clients through increasingly complex pest pressures.

Being part of the National Pest Awards reinforces Pest Smart’s commitment to continuous improvement, professional development, and science‑led pest management. Events like this remind us why our work matters — protecting public health, safeguarding businesses, and ensuring environments remain safe, compliant, and pest‑free.

We look forward to continuing to raise standards across Leicestershire and the East Midlands, and to returning to future awards as our industry continues to evolve.
