Tony Johnson, Founder and Senior Pest Technician at Apex Pest Control, Sheffield

Tony Johnson

Founder & Senior Pest Technician — Sheffield

Tony Johnson founded Apex Pest Control Ltd in Sheffield in 2016, bringing 40 years of experience in pest control, forestry, and wildlife management. Tony leads all Sheffield treatments personally — from initial survey through to treatment and follow-up. He is BPCA certified, RSPH Level 2 and Level 3 qualified, and Lantra accredited for pesticide application.

Tony’s approach is straightforward: find out exactly what the problem is, treat it correctly, and proof the property against a return. During a recent rat infestation at a Sheffield food business, Tony identified a drainage entry point in the kitchen area, installed tamper-resistant bait stations, and sealed the access point on the same visit — resolving the infestation without disruption to the business. That is what 40 years of experience looks like in practice.

What Our Yorkshire Customers Say

Sheffield • Trustpilot • April 2026
Rodent Control
“Amazing service from the Apex Sheffield branch. I had issues with rodents in loft and kitchen — I called and got an appointment within the next working day. He provided friendly, professional help. A very polite gentleman advised me on how to secure my bungalow so I stop getting repeat problems. He did a better job than the Sheffield council pest control team.”
Barnsley • Trustpilot • September 2025
Wasp Nest Removal
“Contacted them last night with a problem with a wasp nest. Contacted me back almost immediately and promised to attend today to sort it. Spot on the time, Tom came and sorted it within twenty minutes. Absolutely fantastic customer service and top drawer resolving the problem.”
Sheffield • Trustpilot • January 2024
Rat Control
“Highly recommend. From start (telephone conversation) to successful elimination of rats from mine and next door’s — faultless service from Tony. Successfully found out how they were getting in, eliminated the rats, and concreted the hole — all included in the price.”

Common Questions

Frequently Asked Questions — Apex Pest Control Ltd

Common questions about Apex Pest Control Ltd, the pests we treat across Yorkshire, and how our treatments work.

Yes. Apex Pest Control Ltd is a registered limited company in England and Wales (Company No. 16815959) and VAT registered (GB375539265). The company has operated across South and West Yorkshire since 2016 and is a BPCA certified member and CHAS registered. Every technician is fully qualified, trained to industry standards, and carries £5 million public liability insurance.

The British Pest Control Association (BPCA) is the UK’s leading professional body for pest management. BPCA certification means a technician has met rigorous training, qualification, and code of conduct standards. It is the benchmark qualification you should look for when choosing any pest controller in the UK. Apex Pest Control Ltd is a verified BPCA certified member.
Apex Pest Control Ltd is searchable on the Companies House register under Company No. 16815959. BPCA membership can be verified directly on the BPCA website. You are welcome to ask your technician for proof of qualification and insurance at any time before work begins.

Apex Pest Control Ltd treats all common UK pests across Sheffield, Leeds, Barnsley, and Rotherham: rats, mice, squirrels, moles, wasps, bees, cockroaches, ants, bed bugs, fleas, silverfish, cluster flies, house flies, moths, and pigeons. Apex Pest Control Ltd also provides bird proofing (netting, spikes, solar panel proofing) and specialist commercial pest management. If you are unsure whether your pest is covered, call the number for your nearest area and a technician will advise you.

Yes. Apex Pest Control Ltd treats silverfish infestations using professional insecticidal treatment applied to all affected harbourage areas. Silverfish are commonly found in bathrooms, kitchens, and boiler cupboards in Yorkshire homes. A single visit typically resolves the infestation, with follow-up advice on reducing moisture and entry points.
Yes. Apex Pest Control Ltd treats cluster fly infestations using ULV (ultra-low volume) loft treatment — a professional-grade technique not available to the public. Cluster flies typically overwinter in loft spaces across Yorkshire from October onwards. Apex Pest Control Ltd also treats house fly, bluebottle, and drain fly infestations for both domestic and commercial clients.

Apex Pest Control Ltd follows an integrated pest management (IPM) approach. Every treatment starts with a full inspection to identify the pest species, the scale of infestation, and how pests are gaining access to the property. The appropriate professional-grade treatment is then applied — rodenticidal, insecticidal, or physical proofing — matched to the specific pest and property type. All products used by Apex Pest Control Ltd are HSE-approved and CRRU rodenticide stewardship compliant.

On the first visit, your Apex Pest Control Ltd technician conducts a full pest survey, identifies entry points and harbourage areas, confirms the number of visits required, and begins the initial treatment. You will know exactly what product is being used, why it is being used, and what you need to do between visits to support the programme.
It depends on the treatment type. For most rodent treatments you can remain at home. For insecticidal treatments in enclosed spaces, your Apex Pest Control Ltd technician will advise you to vacate treated rooms for a specified period. Full instructions are always given before any product is applied — nothing is used without your technician explaining the process first.

Yes. Tony Johnson (Founder) holds the RSPH Level 2 and Level 3 Awards in Pest Management, the BPCA Foundation Certificate, Lantra Accreditation for Pesticide Application, Lantra Advanced Rodent Control, and Killgerm BASIS registration — with 40 years’ hands-on experience. Tom Johnson holds RSPH Level 2, BPCA certification, and Lantra PA1/PA6 pesticide application for rodents. Nathan Marshall is BPCA qualified and Wildlife and Countryside Act 1981 compliant. All Apex Pest Control Ltd technicians carry £5 million public liability insurance and are COSHH-trained.

Yes. Apex Pest Control Ltd uses only HSE-approved, professional-grade products applied in accordance with COSHH regulations and manufacturer guidance. Your technician will explain any specific precautions before treatment begins — for example, keeping pets away from treated areas for a specified drying or clearance period. No product is ever applied without a full briefing first.
Yes. Apex Pest Control Ltd provides written service reports for all treatments, including details of the pest identified, products used (with MAPP numbers), treatment areas, and follow-up requirements. Commercial clients receive full EHO, BRCGS, and CQC-ready documentation as standard with every contract.

Apex Pest Control Ltd operates a fixed-price model — the price confirmed at booking is the price on your invoice, all plus VAT. There are no call-out fees, no hidden charges, and no surprises. All prices are published on the prices page. For commercial contracts, Apex Pest Control Ltd always provides a bespoke quote following a free site survey.

No. Apex Pest Control Ltd charges no call-out fee for any domestic or commercial pest control job across our service areas in Sheffield, Leeds, Rotherham, and Barnsley. The price quoted is the only price you pay, all plus VAT.
Commercial pest control is always priced on a site-survey basis. Apex Pest Control Ltd manages 320 active commercial contracts across Yorkshire for restaurants, hotels, care homes, offices, and warehouses. Every commercial quote follows a free site survey and is tailored to the specific pest pressures, site layout, and compliance requirements of the business.

Yes. Pest proofing is part of every Apex Pest Control Ltd treatment — not an optional add-on. Apex Pest Control Ltd identifies and seals entry points including gaps in brickwork, drainage access points, airbricks, vents, skirting boards, and fascia boards. Sealing entry points is the only reliable long-term solution to prevent reinfestation. Proofing advice is included in all rat and mouse treatments; physical proofing work is scheduled on the same or a follow-up visit.

Recurring infestations are almost always caused by unsealed entry points. Rats and mice enter through gaps as small as 15mm — common entry points include gaps around pipework, drainage runs, airbricks, and gaps in brickwork. Apex Pest Control Ltd identifies and seals these access points during every treatment programme to break the reinfestation cycle.
It depends on the pest. Wasp nest treatment is typically resolved in a single visit. Rat and mouse control requires a minimum two-visit programme to monitor bait take and confirm the infestation is resolved. Your Apex Pest Control Ltd technician will confirm the number of visits required at the first appointment — before any work begins.
