Welcome to Pest Perspectives Episode 59.
This week I’m joined by Martin Beattie, Co-Founder and Chairman of the NADC, for an insightful conversation on the connection between rats, drains, CCTV surveys, and pest control.
We talk about why recurring rat issues are often linked to drainage defects, why pest controllers need to understand underground drainage systems, and why proper CCTV survey training, reporting standards, and equipment matter.
We also cover:
- rat ingress and defective drains
- CCTV drain surveys
- training and certification
- drainage law and standards
- health and safety
- confined space risks
- business opportunities for pest controllers expanding into drain investigations
A really valuable episode for anyone in pest management looking to understand the drainage side of rodent control and where future opportunities may be.
