It is with sad news that on the evening of the 14th of October, Oliver Madge passed away.

Those who knew Oli, knew that he was passionate about this industry, he had a vision and drive for professionalism which was years ahead of the curve.


He would also be the first person to tell me that a long and flowery obituary would be nonsense, and he would march on past it. He was strong willed; he had a plan and rarely let anything stand between he and it.

For those who didn’t know him, know this, although you may not have heard of Oli he almost certainly has effected your working life in some small way without your realising. From his work as a former CEO of the British Pest Control Association (BPCA), to his unwavering push to support training, education and the recognition of professional development, he has impacted this industry in ways that many of us never realised and that all of us should be grateful for. He was a champion and an advocate for pest control, appearing on TV and Radio or working with Governmental Departments and for sole traders alike, to every challenge he brought knowledge, support and purpose.


“I’ve known Oli for over 35 years as a friend. I saw him off at Heathrow to become a diving instructor on Australia’s Gold Coast for a couple of years. Upon his return, he worked for me briefly as a Private Investigator. Years later I had learned that he became a ‘name’ in the Pest Control industry. Having moved to France, he mentored me, to become the first British with a French qualification Pest Control. A great friend, a great trainer. Thanks Oli.” Robert Moon


“I took great confidence knowing Oly was always there for help and advice. He’s been a huge asset to our little industry and will be sorely missed. RIP Oly” Debbie Wilson FRSPH

Regardless of how you may have known him, too me Oli was more than a college or business partner, he was first and foremost a good friend. He was always there with a smile to talk shop or just chat, to put the world to rights or just to listen.

He will be missed… I will miss him.

Isn't it time we all talked a little more about PICNICs?

And no, before you scroll on by I dont mean breaking open the wicker basket and enjoying a good pork pie in the park.

What I mean is the situation we all face and yet often dont like to admit, is the fact that often times when something goes wrong with one of our pest management treatments, the issue we face isn't always down to product choice.

PICNIC is a cheeky little acronym which stands for many variations of the same expression, "Problem in controller, not in component".

How often do we see people assume that because two products look the same, or have similar branding, that they are direct replacements to one another?

Pulse baiting, Speed baiting, Saturation baiting? When's the best time to use these? Whats the best products to use? Where is going to be the most effective placement?

Keen to know more? Keep an eye open in the next issue and look out for Ellen Fitzgibbons piece in part 2 of a 4 part series on practical rodent control.

Want to read part 1?

Jump to page 22 of the last issue or google "are mice automatons", and have a little read!

🪰June is just around the corner, marking the peak of housefly season. But how can you distinguish between different species of flies?

🪰One way to identify them is by closely examining their wings. Houseflies have only one pair of wings used for flying; the second pair is reduced to small structures called halteres, which aid in balance during flight.

🪰Other ways to identify flies include observing their body size and shape, eye color and placement, and the patterns on their bodies. Behavioral characteristics, such as flight patterns and feeding habits, can also provide clues.

🪰What characteristics do you find most insightful?

WE Weekly Wisdom 🌱: How SGARs Work - Part 2
-
Last week we spoke about enzyme inhibition - the underlying driving force for SGARs.

Vitamin K is vital for essential clotting factors in animals. SGARs inhibit the activity of the VKOR enzyme preventing Vitamin K epoxide from being converted back into its active form.
