Rentokil Initial is the largest pest control firm operating primarily in residential and commercial services. The industry is highly fragmented, with Rentokil, Rollins, and a few smaller global competitors, as well as over 40,000 regional and local players worldwide. Rentokil’s scale is a cost advantage, as its ability to spread fixed costs across a larger revenue base and its local route density contribute to industry-leading margins.
