Denis Beach, a key member of the Cleankill Pest Control Falconry team, has passed his Level 2 Pest Control Exam. This exam involves a written and practical assessment covering pest biology. Denis previously spent many years working on dredgers out at sea, but was very happy to get his feet back on dry land so he could spend more quality time with his children.
