Industry-tailored commercial pest management solutions

At Rentokil, we have been protecting businesses across Australia since 1965 and understand that even a minor pest problem can cause major disruptions to your business operations and reputation. Choose a business sector below to find out how we can help you.

Rodent control for commercial properties

Effective commercial pest control is essential for maintaining Australian businesses' reputation, compliance, and operational integrity. Rodents pose significant threats to commercial properties, including contamination risks, structural damage, and potential harm to business reputation if discovered by customers or health inspectors. Our specialised rodent commercial pest management strategies address the unique challenges of business environments, from restaurants and warehouses to office buildings and manufacturing facilities. We understand that commercial pest technicians must work discreetly and efficiently to minimise disruption to your operations while maximising protection from pest problems that could impact your bottom line.

Our comprehensive commercial pest control services begin with a thorough property inspection to identify existing infestations and potential entry points before developing customised pest control solutions targeting specific rodent species common to commercial buildings. Our commercial pest control company is committed to long-term prevention through integrated pest management approaches combining exclusion methods, strategic bait placement, and ongoing monitoring systems. Beyond immediate pest treatment, we establish continuous pest control programs to maintain pest-free environments year-round, helping commercial properties avoid costly emergency treatments while ensuring consistent compliance with health regulations.

Termite protection for commercial properties

Comprehensive termite protection is critical to Australian businesses' effective commercial pest control strategy. Termites cause over $1.5 billion in damage annually across the country, with commercial properties particularly vulnerable due to their structural complexity and often limited inspection access. Our specialised termite commercial pest management approach addresses these unique challenges through cutting-edge detection and prevention technologies tailored to commercial buildings.

Our commercial pest control services begin with thorough termite inspections using advanced thermal imaging and acoustic detection systems that identify termite activity invisible to the naked eye. This allows our pest control experts to develop customised plans addressing your specific commercial property vulnerabilities. We implement multi-layered termite barriers, monitoring stations, and baiting systems strategically positioned to intercept termites before they cause structural damage. Unlike generic pest treatment approaches, our commercial technicians specialise in minimising business disruption while maximising protection. Our comprehensive pest management program includes regular inspections, detailed documentation for compliance purposes, and preventative treatments that protect your investment long-term. The cost of commercial pest control is minimal compared to potential structural repairs and business interruption from undetected termite infestation.

Innovative commercial pest control services

Rentokil understands that no two businesses are the same and that different sectors face unique pest control challenges. That is why we take pride in providing innovative pest control solutions tailored to your sector needs. Our commitment to science and innovation plays a leading role in all of our solutions, ensuring that we deliver effective, safe, and sustainable pest control services.

Science-based approach

Our team of experts conduct extensive research and testing to understand the behaviour and biology of pests, which allows us to create tailored solutions that target specific pests.

Innovative technologies

Our pest control solutions use the latest technologies, such as remote monitoring systems and predictive modelling, to identify potential pest problems before they occur. This allows us to take proactive measures to prevent infestations.

Safe and sustainable solutions

Our pest control solutions are designed to be environmentally friendly and safe. We also use integrated pest management (IPM) techniques that focus on preventing pest problems before they occur, minimising the need for pesticides.

Advanced fly control techniques for commercial properties

Effective fly management is a crucial element of comprehensive commercial pest control for Australian businesses, particularly those in the food service, healthcare, and retail sectors. Fly infestations can severely damage customer perception, compromise health standards, and potentially lead to regulatory non-compliance issues that impact your bottom line. Our advanced commercial fly management strategies specifically target persistent fly problems with innovative, discreet solutions designed for busy commercial environments.

Our commercial pest control services begin with a thorough site assessment to identify fly species, breeding sources, and entry points specific to your commercial property. Based on this analysis, our pest control experts implement customised fly management programs featuring Lumnia, our revolutionary LED fly control unit that attracts and eliminates flies more efficiently than traditional systems while consuming up to 80% less energy. Commercial exterminators understand that effective solutions must work continuously without disrupting business operations, which is why our Lumnia systems are designed to blend seamlessly into commercial buildings of all types. The sleek, modern design maintains aesthetic standards while providing pest-free protection against flying insects.

Our pest management program specialists are ready to develop a customised solution for your specific commercial pest challenges.

Innovative digital pest control solutions

Modern commercial pest control has evolved significantly with the integration of digital technology, revolutionising how businesses protect their properties from pest problems. Our cutting-edge digital pest management systems provide unprecedented monitoring, early detection, and rapid response capabilities that traditional commercial pest control services simply cannot match. These innovative solutions combine IoT sensors, data analytics, and remote monitoring to create comprehensive protection for commercial properties of all sizes.

At the heart of our digital commercial pest management approach is PestConnect, an advanced 24/7 monitoring system that instantly detects and responds to rodent activity throughout your commercial property. This system works continuously, sending real-time alerts to our pest control experts when activity is detected, enabling immediate intervention before infestations develop. Our digital solutions integrate seamlessly with comprehensive pest treatment protocols, providing commercial buildings with multiple layers of protection while generating detailed data for compliance reporting. 

The advanced analytics capabilities allow our commercial exterminators to identify patterns, predict potential pest hotspots, and implement preventative measures based on actual pest behaviour within your specific environment. This data-driven approach significantly improves effectiveness while reducing unnecessary chemical treatments.

Integrated Pest Management (IPM)

Rentokil employs a five-stage approach to pest control, focusing on strategic preventative measures rather than a tactical reactive program.

1. Design and construction

Pest control starts with the design and construction of the building; the internal and external layout as well as construction materials. The design and construction in itself should prevent harbourage of pests - deny access through doors, windows, vents, pipe work, drains etc. and minimise risk of access during business operations.

2. Pest control practices and training

Rentokil plans the actions needed to prevent a pest infestation, including physical, cultural and chemical methods and will provide recommendations to specify:

  • Physical controls: maintenance of buildings to prevent access;
  • Cultural controls: change operating procedures to prevent infestations, specify the frequency of monitoring, responsible persons, monitoring activities, reassessment and document of activities; 
  • Sanitation controls: removal of food sources such as waste, spills and inappropriately stored food; removing harbourage;
  • Chemical controls Removal of pests using safe and approved pesticides suitable for use around businesses storing, preparing and displaying fresh and packaged foods and where members of the public are present;
  • An inspection regime to detect the presence of pests as early as possible, around and in buildings, in fittings, equipment, stored and displayed products and incoming supplies;
  • Training of personnel;
  • Document the control measures specified; to be made available for a review team and auditors/ inspectors

3. Pest monitoring and maintenance

Implement the control measures that provide the most effective results and ensure safety:

  • Appoint trained personnel to be responsible for each area of the control measures. This can include appointment of internal or external experts for monitoring pests;
  • Assign adequate resources to implement the measures;
  • Implement the control measures and inspection regime according to plans;
  • Record actions and results in accordance with standards and legislative requirements

 

4. Response to pest outbreaks

In the event of a pest outbreak, clear identification of the pest is essential to determine the most appropriate control methods and preventive actions needed to avoid re-infestation. 

  • Pest species - Different species of closely related pests have different behaviour and biology that will require tailored treatment for best results
  • Origin - Has the pest been introduced in delivered goods or gained entry due to structural defects, poor maintenance, poor hygiene, decaying goods etc.
  • Potential damage - Does it pose a food safety risk to fresh, prepared or packaged goods; can it damage equipment, fittings or building structure
  • Potential harbourage - Conduct an inspection of the building and surroundings to identify harbourage places
  • Quantity - Estimating the quantity of pests will provide an indication not only of the extent of the problem but how long they have been established on the premises
  • Conducive conditions - Pests could be present due to supplier or transport issues, or environmental conditions which encourage or trigger pest infestations

 

5. Evaluation of the pest control program

Evaluate the effectiveness of the pest control program, this can include:

  • Examining pest control operations;
  • Reviewing operating procedures to reduce food sources, harbourage and contamination;
  • Review preventive maintenance procedures;
  • Documentation of the review;
  • Recommend changes and improvements to the IPM program;
  • Implement the recommended changes to the IPM program

FAQs

What is commercial pest control?

Commercial pest control encompasses specialised prevention, monitoring, and treatment services designed specifically for business environments where regulatory compliance, reputation management, and operational continuity are paramount. Unlike residential pest management services, commercial pest management addresses the unique challenges of more extensive facilities, employs discreet servicing protocols to avoid disrupting business operations, and typically includes comprehensive documentation for audit purposes.

What types of commercial properties does Rentokil offer pest control services for?

At Rentokil, we've been safeguarding businesses from the risks associated with pests since 1965. We actively extend our commercial pest control services to various industries including construction, education, food processing, food retail, healthcare, hotels, retail, and others.

How much is pest control on average?

Commercial pest control costs vary widely based on facility size, industry type, pest species present, and required service frequency. Most providers offer tiered service plans ranging from essential quarterly treatments to comprehensive integrated pest management programs with 24/7 digital monitoring capabilities. We recommend scheduling a site assessment to receive a customised quote tailored to your specific business needs.

What are the three rules for pest control?

The three fundamental principles of effective commercial pest control are: 1) Prevention through exclusion and sanitation to eliminate entry points and attractants; 2) Early detection using regular inspections and monitoring systems to identify issues before they become infestations; and 3) Targeted treatment using the most appropriate methods with minimal environmental impact while addressing the specific pest species involved.

What makes Rentokil’s commercial pest control different from other companies?

We understand that every business is unique, and our innovative approach to pest management sets us apart. Here are three reasons why:

Science-based approach: Our team of experts conducts thorough research on pests, enabling us to develop tailored approaches for pest control.

Innovative technologies: We utilise cutting-edge technologies, including remote monitoring systems and predictive modeling, in our pest control solutions.

Safe and sustainable solutions: Our pest control solutions are designed to be environmentally friendly and safe, incorporating integrated pest management (IPM) principles.

What is the hardest pest to get rid of?

Bed bugs present the most significant eradication challenge in commercial environments due to their resistance to many pesticides, ability to survive for months without feeding, and capacity to hide in tiny crevices throughout a property. Termites follow closely behind due to their ability to cause extensive structural damage while remaining largely invisible, requiring specialised detection equipment and treatment protocols for effective control.
