Welcome to Rentokil Rural
Rentokil Rural is your trusted partner in pest control, combining the expertise of High Country Contracting, Feracon, EcoFX, and Vector Free to deliver industry-leading solutions across New Zealand.
About Us
Rentokil Rural & Environmental Services was established in 2022 following the acquisition of EcoFX, a leading pest control company. This was then followed by a strategic expansion across Aotearoa New Zealand with the acquisitions of:
- Vector Free Marlborough (Blenheim) – Experts in aerial 1080 operations and ground pest control, operating across the upper South Island and West Coast.
- High Country Contracting (South Island) – Specialists in ground-based pest control, wilding tree management, drone services, ungulate, lagomorph and wallaby control across Canterbury, Otago, Southland, and West Coast.
- EcoFX (North Island) is a Waikato-based leader in pest control, with a legacy spanning over two decades.
- Feracon Limited (North Island) – Extensive experience in peri-urban, rural, and deep-bush pest control across Auckland, Northland, and historically the wider North Island.
These strategic acquisitions strengthened Rentokil Rural & Environmental Services’ capability, allowing us to deliver large-scale pest control operations across New Zealand. As part of the global Rentokil Initial Group, we have access to world-class systems, research and development, compliance frameworks, and responsible business practices.
