Anston Pest Control - About Us

The Anston Pest Control journey began in 2011 with one man and a van. Company Director Matt Starr set out with a simple goal — to build a reliable pest control service while still working full-time employment.

Through dedication, hard work, and a clear vision, the APC brand was established.

In 2017, the company took the next major step and became Anston Pest Control Ltd.  With Matt continuing to steer the business forward, the team expanded to include Martyn, a Level 3 qualified Technician and Technical Inspector, and Gavin, a Level 2 qualified Technician. What started as one man’s ambition had grown into a shared team vision.

While the business expanded, our core goal remained the same:

“To provide the highest possible standard of service across domestic and commercial sectors while maintaining a genuine personal touch.”

We firmly believe that when customers invest in pest control services, they are investing not only their money but their trust.  Building and maintaining trusted working relationships is at the heart of everything we do.

Anston Pest Control Growth & Development

In 2018, the company welcomed a second Director, Rachel, who joined as Administration Manager.  Bringing extensive IT knowledge and administrative expertise, Rachel helped modernise operations and move APC to the next level of professionalism and efficiency.

Today, Anston Pest Control Ltd is supported by a strong team of seven, all sharing the same ethos and commitment to excellence.  As our sectors have grown, so too has the need for continual professional development, ensuring our technicians’ qualifications and expertise evolve alongside industry demands.

Our Pest Control Sectors

We operate across four main sectors:

• Private Domestic
• Rental & Housing Associations
• Commercial
• Agricultural

Domestic Pest Control Services

We provide comprehensive pest control services to customers across Sheffield, Rotherham, and Worksop.  From bedbug treatments to fox control — and everything in between — we are fully equipped to eliminate your pest issue efficiently and discreetly. 

Rental & Housing Associations

Working alongside several local housing associations has given us a deep understanding of the sensitivity and safeguarding requirements within rental properties.

All our technicians:

• Hold current DBS disclosures
• Receive safeguarding training
• Operate with professionalism and discretion

This ensures housing providers can trust us to meet their specific requirements.

Commercial & Agricultural Pest control Contracts

A significant proportion of our work now involves commercial contractual services, including scheduled monthly service visits.  Our proactive approach allows us to identify and address potential pest issues before they escalate into major problems.

We provide bespoke service contracts across the North of England and parts of the Midlands.

Whether you require compliance for:

• BRC (British Retail Consortium)
• SALSA (Safe and Local Supplier Approval)
• Red Tractor
• AIC | UFAS (Universal Feed Assurance Scheme)
• Or independent audit standards

We can tailor a contract package to suit your exact needs.

With the support of specialist Field Biologists from our suppliers, we ensure that all compliance requirements are fully met.  Importantly, when you contact us, you speak directly to our team — not a call centre or automated system.

Quality & Compliance

Our customers can be confident in our standards.  We conduct regular internal audits, and our external accreditations help maintain accountability and quality assurance.

Our affiliations include:

• British Pest Control Association (BPCA)
• SSIP Health & Safety Scheme (CQMS)

These memberships ensure our procedures, health & safety standards, and service quality remain consistently high.

Our Commitment

Although we have grown from a single van operation to a seven-strong professional team, our values remain unchanged:

• Professionalism
• Trust
• Reliability
• Personal service

Anston Pest Control Ltd continues to deliver expert pest management solutions while maintaining the approachable, customer-focused service that built our reputation.  Contact us Today for more details.
