PEST-PROTECT 2027

PEST-PROTECT is the international trade fair for pest control, organised by the German pest control association DSV (Deutscher Schädlingsbekämpfer-Verband). The 2027 edition returns to Hall 1.2 of Messe Frankfurt for two days, bringing pest management companies, technicians and trainees together with manufacturers and distributors of baits, traps, monitoring systems, biocides and services.

Exhibition

The show floor in Hall 1.2 gathers suppliers of products and services for professional pest management, from rodent and insect control to digital trap monitoring and IPM software. A Presentation Hub gives exhibitors short slots to demonstrate new products.

Lecture programme

Alongside the exhibition runs a programme of expert talks. For 2027 the organiser has announced criminal biologist Mark Benecke as a speaker; the full programme with further speakers is still being finalised.

Networking

A PEST-PROTECT Night is planned for the 2027 edition, following the evening party held in Kap Europa during the 2024 fair, giving exhibitors and visitors time to meet outside the halls.

Key figures

The 2024 edition, the first held in Frankfurt, welcomed close to 2,500 visitors from 46 countries on around 9,000 square metres of column-free hall space, including 17 first-time exhibitors.
