PPC Live Seminar: “Alexa - get rid of that wasps’ nest.” With technology rapidly impacting our daily lives, it was only a matter of time before it reached the broadly traditional industry of pest management.
Savvas Orthon
Group Science and Innovation Director
Rentokil Initial
While it seems like every week, there’s a new ‘smart’ detection device on the market which claims to be groundbreaking and innovative; it is the origins behind these devices which are just as interesting.
Pest management devices are now not restricted to industry professionals. With technology spinouts and crowdfunding, the race to develop the world’s next smartest mouse trap is open to everyone, and the inevitable glut of ‘smart’ pest devices will radically change the way you conduct pest management forever.
Savvas Othon is the Group Science and Innovation Director for Rentokil Initial and spends much of his time trying to surmise what the future of pest management might look like. Savvas will take us through the rise of technology in the industry from the early days of pagers and mobiles phones, to future devices and service models which must complement rather than replace our most valuable industry asset - technicians and their expertise.
1 CPD point for this seminar + 2 points for attending PPC Live.
