Why Commercial Businesses Choose Apex for Pest Control
Pests in a commercial property create more than an inconvenience — they threaten your reputation, breach health & safety regulations, and can cost you customers and contracts.
Whether you operate a restaurant, food warehouse, office building, or healthcare facility, pests are a regulatory liability that demands professional control.
Commercial pest control isn't a one-off treatment. It's an ongoing relationship built on trust, regular visits, and documented proof that you're meeting your compliance obligations.
Apex provides pest control contracts tailored to your business size and risk profile. Our team works with you to create a Planned Preventative Maintenance (PPM) schedule that fits your operations. We deliver ROM reports, method statements, and COSHH risk assessments — all the documentation your auditors expect.
With over 40 years' industry experience, BPCA certification, and £5M professional liability insurance, Apex is the partner your business needs to stay pest-free and compliant.
What Happens When Pests Aren't Controlled
Ignoring pests in a commercial setting isn't just unsightly — it's a business risk with serious consequences across legal, financial, and operational dimensions.
Legal & Compliance Risk
Pest control regulations demand documented evidence of active management. Without a proper pest control contract and regular pest inspection reports, you're exposed to EHO action, mandatory closure, or prosecution under the Health & Safety at Work Act.
Financial & Reputational Risk
One verified pest infestation can destroy customer trust. Social media amplifies complaints. You lose contracts, suffer refunds, and face recovery costs far higher than preventative maintenance.
Operational Risk
Cockroaches, rats, and stored product insects breed quickly. Chewed wiring, contaminated stock, and compromised HVAC systems disrupt operations and turn a manageable problem into a costly infestation.
We Find the Entry Points You Can't See
Victorian air bricks, pipe gaps, and worn seals are the most common access routes for rodents into commercial premises. Apex's free site survey identifies every entry point and provides a written proofing report — before a single pest gets in.

What exactly is included in a commercial pest control contract?
A commercial pest control contract with Apex includes regular Planned Preventative Maintenance (PPM) visits at a frequency tailored to your premises risk rating, full site inspection at every visit, documented treatment where pests are identified, ROM (Record of Management) reports after each visit, COSHH risk assessments and method statements, CAFM-compatible digital records, and direct contact access between scheduled visits. Everything is bespoke to your business — no hidden extras.
Can I add extra services mid-contract?
What reports do you produce after each visit?
How often will Apex visit our premises?
Visit frequency depends on your industry, building size, and pest risk profile — established during your free site survey. Food production and hospitality businesses typically receive monthly or fortnightly visits. Offices and FM-managed buildings are usually quarterly. Warehousing and logistics sites receive monthly visits with increased perimeter monitoring. Healthcare and education facilities receive quarterly visits with tailored protocols.
What happens if we get a pest problem between scheduled visits?
Can we increase visit frequency if there's an active infestation?
Do you provide documentation for BRC, ISO, and food safety audits?
Yes — that's a core part of our service. Every visit generates a ROM report. We also supply BRC-audit-compatible records, HACCP-supporting documentation for food manufacturers, method statements showing treatment detail, COSHH risk assessments, and staff training records on request. Your auditor will see a complete trail of pest control activity, credentials, and chemical safety management.
Can your reports be uploaded to CAFM systems?
Do you attend audits or supply auditor reference letters?
What sectors do you cover?
We specialise in food production and manufacturing, hospitality restaurants and catering, offices and facilities management, warehousing and logistics, healthcare and medical facilities, and education and retail. If your sector isn't listed, call us to discuss — we've likely worked with similar operations.
Do you cover multi-site operations?
Can you work alongside our existing FM contractor?
How quickly can you carry out a site survey?
We aim to complete a free site survey within 1–3 working days of your initial call. During peak seasons this may extend to 5 working days. Once complete, a bespoke contract proposal follows within 3–5 days. If approved, PPM visits can begin within 10 days.
Is the site survey genuinely free with no obligation?
