Rentokil Initial
Rentokil Initial () is a major British business services group. It is listed on the London Stock Exchange and is a constituent of the FTSE 250 Index.
==History==
The Company was founded in 1925 by Harold Maxwell-Lefroy, Professor of entomology at Imperial College, London, who had been investigating ways to kill Death watch beetles that had infested Westminster Hall, next door to the Houses of Parliament. Lefroy and his assistant produced an anti-woodworm fluid called ''Ento-Kill Fluids'' ("ento" coming from the Latin name for insect).〔 In 1925 he tried to register the name ''Entokill'', but due to existing trademarks, had to choose ''Rentokil'' instead, which became the name of his company, Rentokil Ltd.〔 On 14 October 1925, Lefroy was killed in a laboratory when an experiment produced poisonous fumes.〔 His assistant, Elizabeth Eades, took over the running of the company.
