Rentokil PestNetOnline pest control management system upgrade

Rentokil has released an upgraded version of PestNetOnline, its pest control management system, with a range of innovative features.

PestNetOnline is an online reporting application designed to enable organisations to review the status of their pest control 24 hours a day, seven days a week, across multiple sites. The company has introduced four tiers to the service (Proof of Service, Standard, Professional and High Dependency) to match the differing pest control needs, varying the detail and complexity relevant to individual customers, in a wide range of industries.

The High Dependency level is specifically designed with the food processing industry in mind, where a failure in pest control may jeopardise business operations. This service level is suitable for organisations that need to provide a complete audit trail to external bodies. Food manufacturing organisations can suffer severe penalties for incorrect data and poor records and High Dependency offers these users complete data reporting, a dedicated audit function and highlights recommendations for pest prevention.

Recommendations with supporting photographs, automated reports and online trends analysis charts are just a few of the enhancements that will allow users to devote less time and resources to pest prevention, while offering reassurance that their businesses will remain pest free.

When PestNetOnline is installed, barcodes are set up on site by Rentokil technicians who are specially trained to identify problem or high-risk areas. A barcode is allocated to either a danger hot spot or a detector location depending on the tier of service chosen. All pest activity and pest prevention recommendations in that location are entered against the barcode by a Rentokil technician each time they service the site. This information is uploaded to a secure server and is available for organisations to analyse immediately. By identifying any problems or weak spots up-front, organisations can be much more proactive and cost efficient when managing their pest control. This reduces the need for any unnecessary site visits and lets people prioritise where they need to be by viewing activity online.
