All-Round Protection for Museums and Antiques

Antiques and historic buildings are exposed to various pests:

• Paintings, books, fabrics and other organic objects are exposed to fabric mites and beetles.
• Rodents can attack wood and other hard objects and tear fabrics and textiles to make their nests.
• Furniture and other wooden objects are exposed to the risk of woodworm (xylophagous insects).

Rentokil provides its expertise to protect and preserve antiques against pest problems and uses products and techniques that guarantee a minimum risk of damage from contact.

Pest Control to Protect Our Heritage

Rentokil has considerable experience in the preservation of works of art. With partnerships with several major museums in the United Kingdom, our specialists provide their expertise to the art world and destroy insects that threaten these precious objects. Our treatment techniques take into account the fragility of the objects. Wherever possible, we use techniques that do not alter the works of art, and no toxic products are used. Above all, prevention is our priority. But in the event of an infestation, our experts are there to help you find the best possible solution.

Specially Adapted Treatment for Museums and Antiques

We release nitrogen or carbon dioxide inside the sealed environment of the specially designed CAT bubble. This effectively eradicates the insects at all stages of development, including eggs and larva, without leaving behind any harmful residue. Contrary to standard alternatives, the CAT system is a safe and clean treatment that leaves your assets intact without any marks.
