Richard Jones, Managing Director, SWC & Pest Divisions at OCS UK, sat down with FMJ to explore the latest innovations in pest control. Here’s what we learned from it.
Smarter Solutions for a Changing Landscape
Pest control is no longer only about eliminating infestations; it’s about prevention, sustainability, and data-led decision-making. Richard highlighted how OCS is embracing smarter technologies to reduce chemical use and improve long-term outcomes for customers.
Innovation Meets Responsibility
From remote monitoring systems to AI-powered traps, the industry is shifting towards more ethical and environmentally conscious methods. Richard explained how these tools not only improve efficiency but also support biodiversity and reduce harm to non-target species.
Collaboration is Key
Richard emphasised the importance of working closely with clients to tailor solutions to their environments. Whether it’s a heritage site or a high-traffic commercial space, understanding the context is crucial to delivering effective pest management.
Looking Ahead
As regulations tighten and expectations rise, OCS is investing in training, technology, and transparency. Richard’s message was clear: the future of pest control lies in proactive, intelligent, and sustainable practices.
