08:49GMT 07Nov2008-Rentokil up after solid Q3 results

-------------------------------------------------------

Shares in Rentokil Initial (RTO.L) rise 4 percent to 48.75 pence after the services group reports slightly better than expected third quarter results and says its turnaround plans are on-track and should take three or four years to complete.

The company, founded in the 1920s, is still suffering from the poor integration of acquisitions and misguided cost-cutting plans by previous management.
