Route-based services with operational synergies.

Our business lines

Rentokil Initial is focused on route-based services, predominately in Pest Control and Hygiene as well as a range of other smaller specialist services including Plants, Medical services, Property care and Specialist hygiene. 

We have over a million customers to service from the largest industrial and food production companies to local shops, restaurants and homes. With high levels of customer service and retention rates we continue to build our portfolio. 

1 – Pest Control

Rentokil Pest Control is the world’s leading commercial pest control company, operating in 90 countries. This is a growing global market and Rentokil is strongly positioned for growth with leading positions in the UK, continental Europe, Asia, Pacific and South Africa, and a rapidly expanding presence in North America.

Pest control remains our priority category for acquisitions to build density. Rising standards of hygiene are driving greater demand for pest control across our markets, particularly in emerging economies.

Our key points of differentiation include our brand strength, international reach, innovative products and an operating model that allows us to deliver our collective expertise through our front-line service colleagues. This is being helped further with our investment in information technology enabling us to serve customers better, faster and more efficiently.

We deliver service to all commercial sectors and, while customers in the food processing, food service and food retail sectors are the most prominent given their legislative requirements for pest control services, the majority of our revenue comes from non-food sectors where we continue to see increasing market penetration and growth opportunities.

Rentokil maintains a strong pipeline of innovations to drive further growth and build our leading technical capability.  Our unique proprietary products underpin our differentiation.
