PESTTECH 2026 - OPEN TO EVERYONE!

We've heard a few comments recently suggesting that PestTech is only open to NPTA members, so we wanted to clear something up…

PestTech is open to EVERYONE, regardless of which trade association you belong to – or whether you're a member of one at all!

Whether you're a member of either trade association, or not a member of one at all or simply working within the pest control industry, you are ALL welcome!

PestTech is about bringing the whole industry together, sharing knowledge, discovering new products, making connections and celebrating everything our industry has to offer.

It's not about which association you belong to. It's about being part of the pest control industry.

One industry. One event. Everyone welcome.
We look forward to seeing you at PestTech 2026!

The NPTA exists to champion pest controllers and pest control businesses across the UK, from independent operators to the largest organisations.

We’re looking forward to exhibiting at National Pest Technicians Association (NPTA) PestTech 2026 and catching up with pest controllers from across the industry!

We have plenty to talk about this year, including our new lamp length, Opti-Catch now available pre-fitted in selected new traps and as a retrofit solution, and how our LED technology delivers 66% energy savings compared with a traditional 15W fluorescent lamp.

Designed with food safety in mind and backed by our BRCGS partnership, Opti-Catch offers a practical way to upgrade insect light traps.

Jasmin and the team will be on stand C16 to answer your questions, talk all things LED and show you what’s new. You can also take on our Batak challenge for the chance to win £100! 🏆

Make sure you come and say hello. We’d love to see you there!
