What they do

Rentokil Initial plc operates in the management services industry, providing pest control, hygiene and related services. The filing references a legacy US termite damage claims provision, the Terminix brand and the Terminix cash-generating unit, indicating a North American termite and pest-control business. Its customer base spans residential and commercial customers across multiple currencies including USD, GBP and EUR.

Revenue drivers
