Keeping Clean & Pest-free

The cleanliness – and therefore the safety – of our homes and workplaces has come sharply into focus in recent times. Here, we take a look at six handy contactless pest control and hygiene services and products from Rentokil Initial, for fighting everything from viruses to mozzies. #1 Mosquito trap

The In2Care mosquito trap attracts mosquitoes to lay eggs within the trap, contaminating them with larvicide. After that, mosquitoes carry the larvicide to other breeding spots, killing eggs before they develop. By reducing breeding and therefore the spread of dengue, it works beyond your place to benefit others, too. The larvicide also affects the infected mosquito’s ability to bite, killing it within seven to 14 days. It targets mosquitoes at all life stages, from larvae to adults.

#2 Surface disinfection

Disinfecting and sanitising takes a lot of work, so why not get some help? By coating surfaces through misting, Rentokil Initial’s Surface Shield treatment is said to remove 99.99 percent of pathogens. The disinfection product lasts up to 30 days. Once it’s dried, it kills bacteria and viruses that come into contact with it. The odourless and stainless water-based solution can also withstand regular cleaning so it won’t disrupt your routine.

#3 Non-touch washroom products

The pandemic has made us all more aware of the importance of washing and sanitising. To prevent cross contamination, the No-Touch Soap Dispenser comes with an intelligent sensor system for accurate dispensing of soap. And the Initial Feminine Hygiene disposal unit for sanitary pads allows you to just wave at the sensor for the lid to open. There are also toilet seat cleaners to reduce the spread of bacteria, and, for more general use, Rentokil Initial’s alcohol hand sanitisers, which kill up to 99.9 percent of germs.

#4 Air purifier

Beyond viruses, every day we’re exposed to other pollutants in the air – from car exhaust fumes outside to chemicals at home. Particles from these different sources can affect our health and wellbeing; so, keeping air quality in check is key. With this in mind, the Initial Hygiene InspireAir 72 is an air-purification device that features HEPA 13 filtration and activated carbon VOC filtration. It not only removes pesky odours but up to 95 percent of harmful particles in the air.

#5 Antibacterial door handle

Yes, there’s such a thing! Door handles are commonly touched surfaces – particularly in offices – so Rentokil Initial has come up with a “smart” device to tackle this. The Hygienic Touch comes with antibacterial agents such as silver ions, which are said to get rid of 99.9 percent of bacteria and viruses. Just easily snap it into place on your door handle and you’re good to go. A colour-changing indicator alerts you when it’s time to replace the handle (usually every six months).

#6 Rodent control

Rentokil Initial’s Digital Rodent Control cuts down unnecessary physical interaction. It uses sensing features to monitor movement and activity. When a rat is caught or a follow-up is needed, the system is alerted and a specialist can be sent down. What’s great is that the hightech rat trap is also able to detect the creatures’ movements in the night or in blind spots when and where inspection isn’t possible.
