In der heutigen Ausgabe von Talking Pest Management haben wir wieder Gäste persönlich vor die Kamera bekommen. Lukas Bartels und Ben Meyer von der Firma RATTEX sind zu Besuch und wir unterhalten uns ein wenig darüber, wie sie ihr Unternehmen digitalisiert haben.  Besonders bei einem Familienunternehmen wurden die meisten Prozesse schon perfektioniert und jeder Mitarbeiter darauf eingestellt. Da ist es ein starker Umschwung, wenn man diese Strukturen umstellen möchte und ist auch sicher nicht...

As you might now, Talking Pest Management is all about covering as many different perspectives of our industry as possible. We already talked to many international guests on our show. There where pest controllers, their customers, but also scientists and product developers.  As we all know, every pest controller comes to the point, where they must take a look at the major standards of the food industry, just like the AIB. This institution focusses on the analytical evaluation of the companys...

Bei Talking Pest Management geht es ja darum, viele Perspektiven aus der ganzen Branche einzufangen. Wir hatten schon einige internationale Gäste in unserer Show, Schädlingsbekämpfer, Kunden von Schädlingsbekämpfer, aber auch Forscher und Entwickler von Schädlingsbekämpfungs-Produkten.  Ein Teil der Kette, mit der sich jeder Schädlingsbekämpfer irgendwann befassen muss, sind die größeren Lebensmittelstandards, wie z.B. der AIB. Diese Institutionen befassen sich mit einer analytischen...

Dr. Robert Corrigan is a guest, that already visited ous show about a year ago. This time we go more in depth with our questions and talk about long term consequences from this ongoing pandemic. Consequences probably sounds more negativ than it is, because one major change is how people think of viruses, especially ones that are brought in from wild animals. Therefore there will be an increased awareness for the need for pest control. Now with digital remote monitoring we are able to scale...

On this episode of Talking Pest Management we are honored to talk to Henry Mott, the president of CEPA, but since we already had him on the show we are doing things a bit differently.   This week Daniel collected questions from the community and from people, who work in the pest control industry and interviewed Henry with those questions. As there where quite a lot of interesting questions with equally interesting and long answers, we decided on splitting up this episode. This is part two of...

Technology led growth  In this interview, the continued growth in the value of pest management is debated. Growth in both the appreciation of its value to society, but also in the financial value to those businesses operating in this sector.

She specialises in structural pests and insects within the house – in particular bed bugs, cockroaches, ants...
