100 Years of Rentokil
From Innovative Beginnings to World Leader
Rentokil invented modern pest control, and celebrated its 100th anniversary in 2025 as the world’s largest and best known pest controller. With tens of thousands of dedicated pest control experts across 90 countries, the business protects public health and private livelihoods from rodents, cockroaches, moths, bed bugs, termites and more.
To mark this significant milestone, the company planned a year-long celebration for colleagues, customers as well as charities and the communities in which we operate, with the focus on giving back and connecting our Rentokil
Family. Our aim was to support 100 charities but in true Rentokil Initial
style, we smashed our target and contributed to over 180 charities across the world.
Our social media channels featured many of the special
events, not only our community initiatives, but also the launch of a new book
and an online photography exhibition featuring our history and a showcasing our
amazing colleagues. We also held a
reception at the Houses of Parliament in London, where the Rentokil story
began, and launched a commemorative book.
You can read the book and catch up with events via a
