From 1st January 2026, all professional users of rodenticides – including farmers – will be required to provide proof of competence when purchasing and using professional-use rodenticides in the UK.

This update comes from the Campaign for Responsible Rodenticide Use (CRRU) to ensure safer and more effective pest control practices.

✅ What’s changing?
You must show certification from a CRRU-approved training course completed within the past 5 years when buying rodenticides.

✅ How to stay compliant:
Join our Rodent Management Course – In Person
📍 Dumfries | 📅 9th July 2025 | 🥪 Lunch Included

Not only will you be compliant, but you’ll also show your commitment to professional standards in rodent control.

For more information or to book, please contact Services Coordinator, Tracey McEwan on Tracey.mcewan@tarffvalley.co.uk or 07785 657861.
