A National Recognition for Excellence in Pest Management
We are incredibly proud to announce that our owner and lead technician, Hernan Garcia-Prieto, has been awarded the Professional Pest Manager Pest Technician of the Year 2026 at the Agserv PestTech Roadshow.
Receiving this national industry award is a tremendous honour and a milestone for Concept Termite & Pest Management. While awards are never the reason we do what we do, being recognised by our industry is a humbling acknowledgement of our commitment to technical excellence, customer service, and protecting Queensland homes from termites and pests.
What Is the Pest Technician of the Year Award?
The Professional Pest Manager Pest Technician of the Year Award recognises outstanding pest management technicians across Australia who demonstrate excellence in:
- Technical knowledge
- Customer service
- Professionalism
- Industry best practice
- Commitment to ongoing education
- Passion for the pest management industry
Unlike many business awards, this recognition focuses on the technician working directly with customers in the field every day.
The assessment includes technical knowledge, customer feedback, and a professional interview, ensuring recipients demonstrate both expertise and a genuine commitment to delivering exceptional service.
The Agserv PestTech Roadshow
The award was presented during the Agserv PestTech Roadshow, one of Australia’s leading pest management industry events.
The event brought together pest management professionals, suppliers, manufacturers, educators and industry leaders from across the country to share knowledge, discuss emerging technologies and celebrate excellence within the profession.
It was also a fantastic opportunity to reconnect with colleagues, learn from respected industry experts and continue developing the knowledge that ultimately benefits our customers.
A sincere thank you to Professional Pest Manager, Dr Phil Ridley, Agserv, and all of the event sponsors for organising such a professional and valuable event.
What This Award Means to Us
Although Hernan’s name is on the award, we see this achievement as something shared with every customer who has trusted us to protect their home.
Since founding Concept Termite & Pest Management, our philosophy has remained simple:
Treat every home as if it were our own.
Every termite inspection, every termite treatment and every pest control service is carried out with care, attention to detail and honesty.
We understand that discovering termites or dealing with a pest problem can be stressful. That’s why we take the time to explain our findings, answer questions honestly and recommend solutions that genuinely protect our customers’ homes.
That commitment has never changed, and this award reinforces why we continue striving for excellence every day.
Our Commitment to Ongoing Learning
Pest management is constantly evolving.
New technologies, products and research continue to improve how we protect homes against termites and pests.
At Concept Termite & Pest Management, we believe that continuing education is essential. We regularly attend professional training, industry seminars and technical workshops to ensure our customers receive advice and treatments based on current best practice.
Investing in education means investing in better outcomes for every customer.
Thank You
We would like to sincerely thank our customers for their trust, loyalty and support.
Without you, this achievement would not have been possible.
Every recommendation, every Google review and every opportunity to protect another home has helped us grow into the business we are today.
We’re incredibly grateful and look forward to continuing to provide the same honest advice, exceptional service and professional termite and pest management that earned this recognition.
Thank you for being part of our journey.
