Rentokil Initial entered the Bahamian market when Rentokil International purchased Ripco Limited – a small local firm that offered termite control and fumigation services in 1963. The company's first office was located in Freeport and had 2 employees but then subsequently relocated to Nassau in 1969. The business was initially focused solely on pest control services in hotels in Grand Bahama but introduced a hygiene services division in 1996, expanding its clientele to include government offices and other private business. The company currently has 11 employees and is the market leader in hygiene services in the Bahamas.
