Quick answer

What does a pest controller do, and what is protected by law?

A pest controller identifies, treats and proofs against rodents, insects and nuisance wildlife, typically £100–£300 for domestic treatment. Wildlife law constrains the work: bats and their roosts are protected at all times, and it is an offence to damage an active bird nest. Proofing matters more than poison — untreated entry points simply refill.

Pest Control workmanship in Congleton

Pest Control terms explained — Congleton glossary

British Pest Control Association(BPCA)
The main UK trade body, requiring qualified technicians, insurance and audited procedures. Because anyone may sell pest control, membership is the practical proxy for competence and for correct, legal use of professional-only products.
Proofing
Sealing the entry points — gaps at service pipes, air bricks, roof-line voids — that let pests in. Treatment without proofing clears the current population and leaves the route open, which is why an infestation recurs on a seasonal cycle.
Protected Species(Wildlife law)
Bats and their roosts are protected under the Wildlife and Countryside Act 1981 whether or not bats are present, and active nests of wild birds are protected. Work in a loft that disturbs either requires specialist advice, not a treatment.
Rodenticide Stewardship(CRRU)
The regime governing professional rodenticide use, requiring certification and steps to limit secondary poisoning of owls and other predators. It is why a professional will use bait boxes and remove carcasses rather than scattering product.
