Rentokil Initial Malaysia Builds a Healthier and Safer Future With Pest and Hygiene Awareness

A clean and well-kept space is always pest-free, right? Not necessarily.

While some common home and space invaders make it very obvious that they are there, there are generations of others who hide away without a peep such as bed bugs, termites, cockroaches and many others.

"Do-it-Yourself" Isn't Always Doing Enough 

Often people overlook the need for pest control services when they encounter pests such as cockroaches or rats. They prefer to look for DIY treatments to get the job done, however in reality these efforts only attack the tip of the iceberg. 

This is why it is important to contact a pest control professional at the first sign of a pest invasion. Preventive measures are essential to avoid potential pest infestations regardless of the type of pests.

Say goodbye to harmful pests with Rentokil Initial!

Trained to stop an infestation at its source and certified to handle pesticides, the professionals at Rentokil Malaysia know just what to look for, and how to get rid of it for good, be it for residential homes or commercial properties.

Commercial pest control for businesses

Besides offering their service to residential areas, Rentokil Initial also works closely with a number of offices, industrial premises and restaurants, delivering effective pest control solutions that ensure quality standards across the entire supply chain and reputation will not be compromised by pest activities.

In today's interconnected world, a business's reputation can be built or shattered in an instant. A single pest sighting, whether by a customer or client can spread negative word-of-mouth and tarnish a brand's image. Preventive pest control demonstrates a commitment to hygiene and professionalism, reassuring stakeholders that the establishment maintains the highest standards of cleanliness and care.

Rentokil Initial latest Pest Control and Hygiene Innovation includes:

Lumnia — The next generation innovative LED fly trap

Rentokil Lumnia LED fly traps are designed to mitigate fly infestation in your premises while ensuring the flies are dealt with hygienically to reduce contamination. From real customer environments, Lumnia catches over 18 different types of flying insects instead of common house flies such as fruit flies, small flies and many more.

Lumnia's LED tubes have an impressive lifespan, lasting up to three years. Whereas traditional fluorescent ILT have a shorter lifespan of a year which needs frequent change. This is a significant step in reducing waste when disposing of used tubes, which can be problematic due to the presence of mercury in fluorescent tubes which poses environmental and health risks if not disposed of properly. By adopting LED technology, Lumnia not only reduces the frequency of bulb replacements but also minimises mercury waste.

Carol further explained that this innovation is a testament to their commitment to sustainability whereby it is not only highly effective but also eco-friendly. Currently, there are a total of 4 different models available in Malaysia. Starting from the Compact, Standard, Ultimate, and our latest edition to the range - Lumnia Suspended.

Lumnia Suspended

The Lumnia Suspended is the newest and biggest range of Lumnia LED insect light traps. This latest innovation is a ceiling-suspended insect light trap that covers large areas for high-dependency businesses that have warehouses and factories while seamlessly integrating into various indoor environments.

PestConnect

Next is PestConnect, an intelligent pest management system that utilises data-driven insights to proactively monitor and control pests. This digital solution allows early identification of potential pest issues in real-time, enabling a swift and targeted response.

Mould Remediation

For hygiene innovations, Rentokil Initial has introduced Mould Remediation. With their latest innovative mould treatment, it is designed to manage mould problems that could be growing in your premises due to poor air ventilation or excessive moisture accumulation.

Mould remediation treatment is a multi-step process whereby the experts will conduct mould inspection on your premises. From there, the remediation process removes these harmful moulds to prevent harm to businesses and individual beings.As mould can lead to allergic reactions and respiratory issues, it is essential to tackle mould issues fast.

Luna Dry Hand Dryer

Rentokil Initial also recently launched a sustainable hand dryer known as Luna Dry as it emits 90% less carbon emissions compared to other hand dryers and operates in silent mode. It is equipped with a HEPA filter which removes 99.99% particulates from the air that passes through the dryer. This is a minimalist hand dryer with touchless operation that saves space, leaves a lasting impression and minimises risk of infection.
