Antitec becomes part of Rentokil, the world’s leading pest control company
Rentokil, the world’s largest pest control company, has acquired Antitec Oy, founded in 2005. The
acquisition took effect on April 30th 2025.
The acquisition will have no impact on Antitec’s operations or customer service. All customer
relationships will continue as normal, and pest control maintenance and monitoring will continue
without interruption. Antitec’s online store (Antitec kauppa) will also continue to operate as normal.
Changes in personnel
Antitec’s Kai Jansson will continue his work in pest control at Rentokil starting April 30th 2025. Tero
Haikonen and Jarimatti Kesälahti will also join Rentokil Initial simultaneously.
Why is this good news for our customers?
Since Antitec was founded, we have provided customer-focused and effective pest control services,
particularly for the food industry. As part of Rentokil, we will now be able to offer even higher quality
services, including new-generation digital pest management and real-time monitoring, such as the
award-winning PestConnect devices.
Rentokil has been operating in Finland since 1932 and is strongly committed to training, expertise,
and innovation. In April 2025, the company received ISO 22000:2018 certification, which confirms its
high quality and responsibility, particularly in food safety.
Better service together
The acquisition supports Rentokil’s strategic goal of expanding its service offering in Finland. Antitec’s expertise and commitment to responsible pest control complement Rentokil’s values and
operating model perfectly. We are delighted to be able to offer our services with even stronger and more diverse expertise in the future.
