Rollins Agrees to Acquire Second Clark Pest Control Business

ATLANTA  - Rollins, Inc. announced that its subsidiary, Clark Pest Control of Stockton, has entered into an agreement to acquire Clark Pest Control, based in Bakersfield, CA.  The transaction is expected to be completed in the first quarter.

 

Clark Pest Control was founded in Fresno, California in the 1940’s by two brothers, Jim Sr. and Charlie Clark.  Early in the development of their business, the brothers decided to build separate businesses by splitting up - Charlie went north to Stockton while Jim Sr. went south to Bakersfield.  They continued to share the Clark Pest Control name, and their respective businesses grew.  

 

In 2019, Rollins acquired Charlie Clark’s business, Clark Pest Control of Stockton.

 

Today, Jim Clark Sr.’s business, Clark Pest Control, Inc., has more than 160 employees operating from offices in Bakersfield, Fresno, Lancaster, Santa Clarita, and Visalia. Completion of this acquisition will rejoin the two companies.  Once integrated, Clark Pest Control will have over 1,300 dedicated employees providing exceptional customer service from 28 locations throughout California and northern Nevada.  

 

“It has been a long-held dream of ours to bring the two Clark Pest Control companies back together,” says Robert Baker, President of Clark Pest Control of Stockton, Inc. “We are happy that as one combined company going forward, we will be optimally positioned to serve our markets in California and Nevada with the finest pest management and associated services.”
