Pests disrupt the production process or daily operations, hit revenue and pose major threats to health, safety and sanitary compliance. Research commissioned by Rentokil from the Centre for Economics and Business Research shows that 60% of global businesses report annual revenue losses of between 1-9% due to stored product insect (SPI) infestation. A single fly infestation, meanwhile, can cause staff illnesses that lead to businesses losing over nine working days every year.
Without the right partner, you could face the following challenges:
- Low audit score, putting your reputation at risk.
- Damage to brand and reputation, resulting in a loss of customer trust.
- Cost of damaged goods and raw materials, leading to production losses.
- Lost sales due to disrupted production.
- Costly product recalls.
- Compensation claims.
- Prosecution for non-compliance with applicable laws.

ST
Integrated pest management (IPM) process
Rentokil employs a five-stage Integrated pest management (IPM) approach to pest control, focusing on prevention measures rather than a reactive program.
Site risk assessment via the Pest Risk Calculator
We carry out an in-depth investigation of all areas at risk, including your buildings and surrounds, delivery and storage areas, production areas, machinery and equipment, packaging and shipping, and waste storage areas.
We provide you with a complete overview of your current pest-control needs and consider future risks in your unique environment in compliance with local regulations and standards.
What the PRC covers:
- A 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 number 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
Integrated & comprehensive pest control program
Recommendations are based on in-depth knowledge of all relevant laws and audit standards. These include
- Physical controls: eliminating opportunities for pest entry (blocking gaps, windows and open areas).
- Behaviour changes: training staff in pest awareness to help spot the signs of pest activity or entry at an early stage and changing undesirable operating procedures to prevent infestations. We provide Pest Awareness Training (PAT) and Total Hygiene Awareness Training (THAT) for your employees. These are educational programs to support your business and ensure all parties are doing their part to protect your image.
- Treatments are tailored to your industry needs, and you can rest assured we use only safe and approved pesticides to eradicate existing infestations effectively and efficiently. We have eco-friendly options available - suitable for use around businesses storing, preparing and displaying fresh and packaged foods and where members of the public are present.
