Rodent infestations have always presented a challenge for businesses in every sector. These pests not only cause property damage but can also pose severe health risks, disrupt operations, and tarnish reputations. It's no wonder they are known to be one of the most destructive pests out there.

At Rentokil, we are pioneering innovative ways to leverage technology for effective and sustainable digital pest management. Sustainability lies at the heart of PestConnect by reducing rodenticide use by up to 60% and contributing to a safe environment for all. We provide commercial businesses with access to pest data, insights, and reports — enabling more efficient pest prevention and management.

The Rodent Problem

Rat droppings, gnawed wood, or plastic with bite marks are sure signs of a rat infestation. For many businesses, rats are menacing creatures that can lead to food contamination, property and equipment damage causing downtime, and even fire risks by chewing through electrical wires.

Beyond that, rats can also be carriers of various deadly diseases, such as Leptospirosis. Without proper intervention, the presence of rats can eventually lead to substantial financial losses due to product recalls or forced shutdowns, disrupting day-to-day operations. Worse yet, it can jeopardise a business's reputation. Once the public becomes aware of a potential rat infestation, backlash and avoidance are likely to ensue.

Every year, pests pose a big risk to businesses. Stay one step ahead of pests with Rentokil's innovative digital pest management solutions to proactively manage and prevent infestations with unrivaled insights and value-added services.
