How does Tom Johnson Pest Technician comply with UK pest laws?
For every job, Tom works under Apex’s documented legal compliance framework, which is built around key statutes such as the Prevention of Damage by Pests Act 1949, the Food Safety Act 1990 (for food premises), the Health and Safety at Work etc. Act 1974, and the Animal Welfare Act 2006.
Apex is BPCA and NPTA accredited and CHAS certified, meaning Tom’s methods, products, and reporting follow recognised professional standards as well as UK legislation.
Treatments are planned using risk assessments, approved biocides, and humane techniques, and Tom can provide written reports to help homeowners, landlords, and business owners demonstrate compliance to councils, Environmental Health, or external auditors; for full details, you can review the dedicated UK pest control legislation page on the Apex website.
How does your service ensure legal rodent control on residential properties?
Our technicians use only approved methods, products, and reporting procedures so that every rodent treatment at your home complies with UK pest control law and best practice.
On residential jobs, rodent control plans are designed around your legal duty to keep premises reasonably free from rats and mice under the Prevention of Damage by Pests Act 1949, with work documented to help you evidence this if the council ever investigates.
Only HSE‑authorised rodenticides are used, in lockable bait stations and in line with the UK Rodenticide Stewardship Regime, CRRU guidance, and product label conditions, reducing risks to children, pets, and wildlife.
As a BPCA and NPTA accredited company, Apex also follows COSHH, Animal Welfare Act, and government guidance on banned methods (such as glue traps), so your treatment remains both effective and fully legal from survey through to disposal of bait and carcasse
