Rodenticides training
Price: £125pp (+VAT), for the one-day course
Hush
Farms is now offering a new Rodenticides training course to meet the changes in law – with LANTRA accredited training in Devon, Dorset, Somerset
and throughout the UK.
PLEASE NOTE: we have 2 options for training – whatever suits you:
- Workshop – join a group, or we'll come to you and do it in-house (full day: 10am – 3pm);
- Online – a great way to do it at your own pace, from the comfort of your office, or even at home – allows up to one year to complete the course.
Our new Rodenticides training course meets the changes in law, regarding the purchase and use of
Rodenticides. We are one of a very few in the country who are able to
deliver the one-day LANTRA certificated course in the Responsible and
Effective Control of Commensal Rodents.
SAVE TIME by learning how to keep rodent numbers down on your property – and even how to eliminate them.
SAVE MONEY on wasted bait and avoid the thousands of pounds worth of damage rodents cause to stock, such as grain and bales.
REDUCE RISK to staff and to public health.
IF YOU ALREADY OUTSOURCE YOUR PEST CONTROL, you can still save yourself a LOT of money. This
course will educate your staff in best practice for preventative
controls, as well as raising their awareness to monitor activity and
spot the first signs to alert management.
The legal bit: Changes to
legislation affecting the purchase and use of rodenticides mean that
only those who possess a certificate of appropriate training
will be able to purchase bait of more than 1.5kg – most baits are sold
in quantities of 3Kg or more. This LANTRA qualification is suitable for
anyone operating within the regulations affecting Public Health.
On this course you will learn:
- How to avoid harbouring rodents
- How to protect equipment, property and public health
- How to monitor and record rodent activity
- How to comply with Legislation
- When to take further action
- The most effective and appropriate methods of control
The day of training and
assessment is delivered in a classroom environment and can cater for up
to 8 people. This certification will qualify participants to purchase
and manage the use of rodenticides (rat bait) and, most importantly, will
give you the ability to save time, money and minimise risks to staff
and public health.
