MCDONOUGH, Ga. — Active Pest Control President Tony Carder announced the acquisition of Rome, Ga.-based Thonton Pest Control. This acquisition will provide a strong Northwest Georgia presence for Active Pest Control, headquartered in Henry County, Ga.
Carder stated, “The acquisition of Thornton Pest Control is a perfect fit for Active Pest Control as it gives us a strong presence in the growing Floyd County/Rome market. Combining Actives marketing prowess and operational capabilities with Thornton’s customer base will allow for both rapid new customer growth and expanded services for Thornton Pest Control’s current customers.”
This is the third major acquisition for Active Pest Control as the company acquired Macon, Ga.-based Active Pest Control of Middle, Ga., in 2013, and Norcross, Ga.- based 24 By 7 Pest Control last year.
