These are real pages from the book. The table of contents is the full one: 9 parts and 62 topics.

The Problem Isn't You. It's How It Was Explained.

You're in the loft above a takeaway, torch in hand, and a rat runs along the beam. The customer wants to know what it is, and so do you.

You read it in the manual last night: snout, ears, tail, weight, habits. Five paragraphs and no drawing of the two side by side, so this morning it's all blurred together.

Brown rat vs black rat: nose, ears, tail and 200–500 g

In the book, the brown rat and the black rat stand side by side: blunt nose or pointed, small furry ears or large thin ones, tail shorter or longer than the body, and the weight in a box.

Droppings drawn to scale, runs and smears, tamper-resistant bait stations, the CRRU steps and COSHH work the same way: one topic, one page, one drawing.

So in the loft you look, you know, and you plan the treatment. No going back to the manual in the van.

The Same Topic, Two Ways to Study It

THIS
  • The manual: line after line
  • IPM explained only in words
  • You reach the exam still unsure
Integrated Pest Management (IPM) may be defined as a systematic approach to pest control in which all available techniques are evaluated and combined in a manner that minimises risk to people, non-target species and the environment. Following inspection and correct identification of the pest species, the technician should assess the level of risk and consider non-chemical measures, such as proofing and improved housekeeping, prior to the selection of any chemical method. Rodenticides should be restricted to circumstances in which their necessity has been demonstrated, and outcomes monitored and recorded.
FOR THIS
  • IPM drawn as one circle
  • The 5 steps in a box
  • You see it and it makes sense
IPM as one circle: non-chemical control first, rodenticide only when shown to be needed.

One Page, One Topic, All Clear

Think of it this way:

It's Monday on the route: a restaurant kitchen, droppings along the skirting, and the manager asking how many bait stations, and where.

You open the page on tamper-resistant bait stations and see the boxes drawn on the runs, against the wall, with the checks you need to make in a box beside them.

Complete: egg, larva, pupa, adult · Incomplete: egg, nymph, adult

The same goes for the German cockroach, bed bugs, a wasp nest, the compression sprayer and bird netting sizes: each one on its own page.

Pest Management Level 2 Illustrated is 9 parts and 62 topics, all drawn, ending with the 5-step checklist for every pest and a last look before the exam.

What you see drawn, you don't have to memorize.

Frequently Asked Questions

Is it for me if I've come into pest control from another trade?

Yes. It starts with what the job is and builds up one page at a time, with the same method for every pest. If you already run a route, it's your revision and your reference for the van.

Where does the content come from?

From current official UK sources: the RSPH Level 2 Award in Pest Management specification, the CRRU UK Code of Best Practice and the UK Rodenticide Stewardship Regime, HSE guidance on COSHH and biocides, the Wildlife and Countryside Act 1981 with the current general licences, and the Glue Traps (Offences) Act 2022. If your Level 2 is with another awarding body, compare the contents with your course syllabus: the pests, products and rules are the same UK ones. Some rules, like glue traps and bird licences, differ between England, Scotland, Wales and Northern Ireland, so always check the one for where you work.

Is it official material?

No. It's independent study material. It isn't published or endorsed by RSPH, CRRU, HSE or any awarding or regulatory body, and it doesn't give you a qualification or certificate: that comes from passing your accredited Level 2 exam.

Does it replace the course?

No. It doesn't replace accredited training, supervised work on site or product labels. Your course manual explains each topic in paragraphs; this book puts each one on a single page with a drawing: the two rats side by side, droppings to scale, bait stations on the runs. You use it to revise what the course covers, and to check before you speak to the customer.

Are the practice questions the ones in the exam?

No. They're written for this book, in the style of the Level 2 exam, so you can find your gaps before the day. They aren't official exam questions.

When and how does it arrive?

The book and the 2 free books arrive as PDFs by email.

Does it work in Scotland, Wales or Northern Ireland?

Yes. The Level 2 topics are the same across the UK. Where the law differs between nations, as with glue traps, the page says which nation it applies to.

Can I have it on paper?

Yes. It's a PDF made to print: print the whole book or just the pages you want to keep in the van.

How does the refund work?

You have 30 days. We refund everything if the file won't open, if the book isn't what you see on this page, if you were charged twice or if the email doesn't arrive: just email us.

Before You Close This Page

No more rereading at night and forgetting it by morning.

Brown rat or black rat: you see it drawn and that's it.
