WHAT’S NEW?


BEAVER PEST IMPROVES SUSTAINABILITY


IN OPERATIONS Beaver Pest, a London-based pest management company, has renewed its vow to continually improve sustainability efforts.


In the last three years, the company has increased turnover from £1.8m to £3.6m and staffing numbers from 28 to 60.


With a green ethos, the company are regularly looking for new ways to improve sustainability and reduce carbon emissions:


USING FOOTMEN AND ZONING TO REDUCE CARBON EMISSIONS.


Regional – They are still a regional company covering London and the South East. As their portfolio grows, their areas become denser which reduces travel time and driving miles. The company strategy is to stay regional and continue to increase route density which will make them more sustainable.


Lightfoot - After a successful trial, their entire fleet is now fitted with Lightfoot. Lightfoot encourages better driving through the monitoring of engine revs and a reward system for elite driving. Technicians who were previously considered poor drivers, are now top of the elite driver’s scoreboard. The system is predicted to reduce fuel costs by 20%.


Green zone – Their first green zone was SW17 but now have a Central London green zone where pest control is carried out covering SW1, W1, WC, SE1 and the city. All travel is either by foot or using public transport. Equipment and materials are stored at their Central London stores reducing the need for vehicles to enter Central London.

They are now in the process of expanding the green zone to W2, W8, W14 and SW5.


INCREASING SUSTAINABILITY THROUGH TECHNOLOGY


New system – All reporting is now electronic, with reports e-mailed automatically to the customer two hours after the visit is completed. This new system has reduced the need for hard copy reports, paper, printing, and has improved efficiency. For large group customers report are emailed direct to site and also to head office. This gives head office complete visibility over any pest issues on site without the need for site visits.


WhatsApp – As well as emailed reports they use secure WhatsApp groups for their larger group customers. The group is used for site pictures so that FMs can see what is going on without the need


for a site visit. This system has really improved communication between site and remote FMs.


Motion sensor cameras – Motion sensor cameras are available to monitor activity on site. Activity is emailed back to the Beaver office by the system for analysis.


Bio-acoustic systems – Bio-acoustic systems operate 24/7 and deter birds from nesting and landing on the buildings permanently. The system just requires a visit three times a month by a technician to check operations and adjust any of the computer-generated distress calls.


ADVICE


Beewise – The Beaver Pest team sit on special interest groups for the British Pest Control Association. The aim of the Beewise SIG is to provide education and advice which protects bees from unnecessary treatment.
