MEMPHIS, Tenn.--(BUSINESS WIRE)--With one of the world's biggest sporting events already underway and millions of international visitors on the ground across U.S. cities, new data from Terminix®, a Rentokil Terminix company, reveals a striking convergence: seven of the 11 host cities for this summer's next wave of soccer matches also rank among the country's worst for mosquito activity, bed bug infestations, or both. The data is drawn from two Terminix annual reports released this spring, both.

Rentokil Terminix is upgrading its digital lineup to simplify how customers manage their pest control needs, with easier online booking, 24/7 intelligent monitoring, and automated defense systems that work around the clock. Driven by a commitment to customer-centric innovation, Rentokil Terminix is bringing these advanced digital and automated upgrades to its primary customer-facing brands, with further enhancements scheduled to launch later this year.

Rentokil Initial PLC (LSE:RTO) could be poised for a recovery after years of disruption linked to its acquisition of US business Terminix, according to Panmure Liberum. The broker initiated coverage with a 'buy' rating and a 563p price target, saying the FTSE 100 group is the world's largest pest control company, with around 20% global market share and about 25% of the North American market, giving it scale advantages in an industry benefiting from long-term growth drivers including urbanisation, climate change and stricter hygiene standards.
