Saddle up, pest pros. March 2026 is shaping up to be a landmark date in the pest control calendar, and Lodi UK is leading the charge at PestEx 2026. Trust us, this is a showdown you won’t want to miss!

For many professional pest controllers, moles sit in a slightly different category to rodents and insects. They rarely enter buildings, they are not chasing stored product, and they aren’t spreading contamination in the same way. However, on things like; sports turf, equestrian land, golf courses, airstrips, parks and managed estates, mole activity can become a high-impact problem quickly.

Rodent proofing is no longer just about baiting and trapping. As professional pest controllers know, long-term control relies on prevention, proofing, and denying pests access to buildings in the first place. One of the most overlooked entry points for rats, mice, and other pests is the drainpipe.

As temperatures drop and nights draw in, rodents start to seek warmth, shelter and easy access to food. Each winter brings a rise in callouts across homes, farms and businesses, but experts are warning that this season could see higher than usual rodent pressure

Every pest controller knows the signs. The nights creep in earlier, the temperatures dip, and the phones start ringing. As we move through summer and into the colder months, rodent season is firmly on the horizon, and it’s not what it used to be.

Fly control isn’t new, but the stakes in 2025 are a whole new game. The pest control industry in the UK continues to evolve rapidly, and if you're still relying on outdated kit or chemical only solutions, it's time for a serious upgrade.

While most people kick back and relax in the warmer months, rodents carry on causing problems. Activity may shift in the summer but it rarely stops. And as any pest controller will know, it only takes a few weeks of quiet for a small issue to become a much bigger one.

Whether you're a pest controller, a business owner, or responsible for hygiene-sensitive spaces, investing in a powerful, reliable, and efficient unit can make all the difference. That’s where Lodi UK's latest innovation - the Captiv8 Electric Fly Killer range - comes in.

Moles may be small, but they can cause big problems for landowners, farmers, and homeowners. From unsightly molehills to damaged pastures and disrupted soil, these underground tunnelers can quickly turn a well-kept landscape into a bumpy, uneven mess.

Effective fly control is paramount for professional pest controllers managing properties, businesses and on farms.

Last year, we spent the day with Giles Sharley “The Bristol Pest Controller” to see firsthand how he tackles one of the biggest challenges facing farmers: grain store protection.
