What pest control services does Apex Pest Control provide?
Apex Pest Control provides comprehensive professional pest control services including emergency 24/7 pest management, rodent control (rat and mouse pest prevention), insect control (ant control, mosquito control, fly control, cockroach control, bed bug removal), wildlife control (squirrel removal, bird control, fox control, bee removal), and commercial pest control for businesses. All pest management services use integrated pest management (IPM) techniques compliant with UK Wildlife Act 1981 and COSHH Regulations 2002.
Is Apex Pest Control BPCA certified and professionally recognized?
Yes. Apex Pest Control is a certified member of the British Pest Control Association (BPCA) and National Pest Technicians Association (NPTA), with CHAS health and safety accreditation. Our founder Tony Johnson holds BPCA professional pest control certification and NPTA membership (#0172). All technicians maintain pest control certification and ongoing professional development in pest management, integrated pest management (IPM), and UK pest control regulations compliance.
What is integrated pest management (IPM)?
Integrated Pest Management (IPM) is a comprehensive, science-based approach to pest control combining pest inspection, pest prevention, monitoring, and targeted treatment methods. IPM minimizes pesticide use, prioritizes non-chemical pest prevention strategies, and focuses on long-term pest prevention rather than temporary extermination. All Apex pest management solutions use IPM principles to provide sustainable, safe, effective pest control while complying with UK pest control regulations and environmental guidelines.
Are your pest control chemicals safe for pets and children?
Apex Pest Control uses only HSE-approved biocides and pest control chemicals applied strictly according to COSHH regulations and pest control safety standards. We provide detailed safety guidance, vacate premises when necessary during pesticide application, and use low-toxicity pest control products where possible. Pet-safe and child-safe pest prevention is our priority. We can discuss organic pest control and eco-friendly pest control alternatives for additional safety reassurance.
Do I need to notify anyone about a rodent infestation?
Under the Prevention of Damage by Pests Act 1949, property owners must notify their local authority of rodent infestations. Apex Pest Control guides customers through this process and liaisons with Sheffield, Rotherham, Barnsley, Doncaster, or Leeds councils on their behalf. We handle rodent control documentation and pest control compliance to ensure full legal adherence.
Is grey squirrel control legal in the UK?
Yes. Grey squirrels (Sciurus carolinensis) are invasive non-native species controlled under the Invasive Alien Species (Enforcement and Permitting) Order 2019 and Wildlife and Countryside Act 1981. Humane control methods must comply with both acts and the Animal Welfare Act 2006. Apex Pest Control provides legal, humane squirrel removal and wildlife control services.

Apex Pest Control provides emergency pest control services available 24 hours daily, 7 days weekly across South Yorkshire. Our emergency exterminator team prioritizes urgent pest management calls and dispatches with complete pest control equipment to resolve pest emergencies rapidly.
Does Apex provide commercial pest control for food businesses?
Yes. Apex Pest Control specializes in commercial pest control for food businesses, restaurants, hotels, warehouses, and healthcare facilities. Our professional pest management includes regular pest inspection schedules, Food Safety Act compliance, Food Hygiene Regulations adherence, pest prevention protocols, and comprehensive commercial pest control documentation—all delivered by certified professionals.
How does professional pest control differ from DIY pest control?
Professional exterminator services use certified pest control equipment, approved pest control chemicals, and integrated pest management (IPM) expertise that DIY pest control cannot replicate. Professional pest management includes expert pest inspection, proper pesticide application compliant with COSHH regulations, pest prevention strategies, and legal compliance with UK pest control regulations. Our certified specialists achieve faster, more complete pest eradication than DIY approaches.
