Exclusive news: the worlds largest digital pest control contract launched at Tesco UK

Talking Pest Management

Tony O’Donovan is one of the few people worldwide that really love Pest Control from the bottom of their hearts. With over 25 yrs experience in the field he is the Head of Pest Control Worldwide at Tesco, one of the world’s largest shopkeepers with close to 8.000 shops internationally. Tony shares with Daniel exclusively that Tesco has signed a new contract for digital pest control with tens of thousands of digital traps in over 4.000 stores inside and outside all over the UK with their service provider. This is the world’s largest contract for digital products and surely marks the tipping point of digital in our industry. For his group, data is gold as well as a large tool kit, which Tesco establishes with the digitization of traps they used and tested over years. So basically, nothing new, just digital helpers to increase pest protection for their shops, logistics, production and more. Tony is unique in his role too, as he knows the client side as well as the pest management and prevention side. Sustainability is extremely important for him as well as independence from ever changing laws on pesticides available to professionals. Digital is not a „silver bullet“ and it probably takes significantly more budget to his group, but „somebody had to take the leap of faith“ and we are glad to have had the opportunity to discuss with Tony on an early stage on this topic. Rest assured that we will revisit this topic shortly and Tony will update us on the project, which probably is something the word looks up to and inspires many other companies around the globe to go digital. Tony, thanks so much for your time. Definitely one of the leading figures in our industry and happy to have you aboard at CEPA as well. Speak soon.
