Rentokil Pest Control - division of Rentokil Initial services

A supermarket is no place for a pest – not just because of public perception and brand risk, but also because of the serious health risks particularly in areas where fresh food is handled. Rentokil is the expert at providing grocery retailers with the reassurance that they are protected from pest problems - no other company can rival our experience of keeping supermarkets free of pest problems or dealing with them if they occur. Our Pest Prevention Service provides the protection against pests in supermarkets. As part of our regular service visits your High Dependency Service Technician will fully inspect all areas of the store and around its perimeter. Any pest activity or pest risks will be identified. Action will be taken to address any pest problems using expert knowledge and innovation (for example our chemical-free Entotherm insect heat treatment) to solve any issue with minimal disruption.

Local grocers and other food retailers such as butchers and bakers need to take pragmatic steps to avoid the damage a pest problem can cause to your stock and your reputation. The main threats are from rodents, cockroaches and flies but a wide number of pests can be attracted by the warmth and ready supply of food. Our technicians are local to you and they are there to support you whether it is a one-off pest problem or to provide you with the peace of mind of a service plan. Your local technician will regularly visit your shop to check and top up bait stations, check for signs of pest activity, identify potential risks and advise you on any steps you can take to reduce the risk of pest problems.

The most valuable asset of a pub, bar or restaurant is its reputation. This comes principally from the quality of the food and service, but your customers also expect the highest level of hygiene. As well as all this, the look and feel of your property also needs to be inviting to your customers.
