PROMPT ensures that pest control is carried out responsibly by people who are properly trained and competent. The BASIS PROMPT Pest Controllers register is an industry initiative which provides independent proof that a pest controller has received proper training and continues to update their expertise.

BASIS is an independent standards setting and auditing organisation for the pesticide, fertiliser and allied industries. BASIS is a registered charity (No. 1077006) and a company limited by guarantee registered in England (No. 1365343)

In practice this means that BASIS:

• Operates an annual inspection scheme to audit pesticide stores and ensure their operation presents minimal risk to people and the environment
