Hopefully it's all cleared up now. The word 'professional' is mentioned, might attempt to call them tomorrow to see whether it's qualified pest controllers only.

southeastpete Posted April 13, 2020 Report Share Posted April 13, 2020 The dictionary defines professional as relating to work that needs special training or education. defines work as an activity that requires physical or mental effort. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

That was never in question. Pest control cannot be carried out from home. You have always been able to go out and continue working if your work cannot be done from home.

AVB Posted April 14, 2020 Report Share Posted April 14, 2020 All this does is confirms professional pest control as a key role and therefore entitled to send your children to school during the lockdown. Lots of interpretations as to what is ‘professional’ but regardless the BASC advice is still that if you are providing a pest control service at the request of a farmer you are fine to continue to provide that service. 59 minutes ago, Old farrier said: Seems pretty clear to me if you’re job is pest control you can go to work You can go to work for any job if you can’t work from home and can maintain social distancing.
