It is the latest move in its ongoing restructuring work, and comes two weeks after the firm said it was closing its loss-making workwear and linen units.
In a brief statement, Rentokil called its Manned Guarding arm a "high-quality business". The unit offers security, CCTV operations and mobile patrols.
