# F A Richard & Co Ltd – Business Description
F. A. Richard & Co Ltd is a specialist manufacturer and supplier of household pest control products headquartered in Preston, Lancashire. The company focuses exclusively on domestic pest management solutions tailored for tropical climates, where insect and rodent infestations present unique challenges.
The business operates through its flagship Farco® Rapid Kill® product range, comprising advanced insecticides and rodenticides manufactured to rigorous international standards in the UK. Rather than adopting a one-size-fits-all approach, F. A. Richard & Co continuously reformulates its products to maintain efficacy and prevent target pest species from developing resistance—a critical concern in pest control.
What distinguishes this business is its strategic focus on disease-vector control. With dengue fever, Zika virus and Chikungunya outbreaks posing genuine public health threats across tropical regions, Farco® Rapid Kill® aerosol insecticide offers a documented 100% kill rate against Aedes Aegypti mosquitoes, the primary vector for these life-threatening diseases. This positions the company not merely as a convenience supplier, but as a provider of essential public health solutions.
The company serves households and families across tropical markets where these pest-borne diseases remain endemic. Distribution occurs through carefully selected key distributors in each territory, ensuring reliable consumer access. By combining UK manufacturing excellence with deep understanding of regional pest control needs, F. A. Richard & Co delivers scientifically-formulated products that protect families from both common household pests and disease-carrying insects.
