Entries were shortlisted by the BPCA Staff team, with the top 10 entries put on display at PPC Live 2025.
The winning photograph was then picked by a panel of judges from across the pest management industry, as well PR and photography experts, and announced at the event.
The judges were:
- Simon King, editor, Pest magazine;
- Jane Shepherd, managing director, Shepherd PR;
- Scott Johnstone, marketing, technology and communications manager, BPCA;
- Clark Smith-Stanley, photographer and aviator, Profile Studios; and
- Paul Westgate, owner, Veritas Pest Consultancy.
Ms Mills has been shortlisted in the competition before, but this is her first win.
She said: “I’m thrilled to have won Best Pest Pic 2025 – I’ve spent years losing chips to these winged bandits – feels good to finally get something back from them, and against some great competition too.”
Mr Johnstone added: “Well done to Lizzi on her winning entry, it was a great photograph.
“We always have such wonderful entries to this competition, and this year was no different. The standard is getting better year on year, so choosing a winner is not easy.
“We enjoy celebrating the important work that our sector does to protect public health and Lizzi’s entry, along with all the others shortlisted, showcased it brilliantly.”
