Aruza Pest Control Acquires HomeMasters Pest Control

CHARLOTTE, N.C. – Aruza Pest Control has acquired Smithfield, N.C.-based HomeMasters Pest Control. The acquisition represents a strategic move to strengthen Aruza’s footprint in North Carolina by increasing service density in key markets, including greater Raleigh and Smithfield and adds pest, mosquito, and termite revenues.

HomeMasters represents Aruza’s fifth add-on acquisition since its recapitalization by Concentric Equity Partners (CEP) in 2022.

HomeMasters will continue to operate with the same technicians and office staff who have served the residents of Johnson, Wake, Harnett, Sampson and Duplin counties in North Carolina for the last 20 years.

Now supported by Aruza’s expanded operational resources and industry expertise, the HomeMasters team remains fully committed to delivering the high-quality service and personal attention their customers have come to expect, the company said.

“We’re proud to join forces with Aruza Pest Control, a company that shares our commitment to delivering top-notch pest, mosquito, and termite control services,” said Eric Brownlee, of HomeMasters Pest Control. “This partnership allows us to combine our local expertise with Aruza's operational excellence, ensuring our customers continue to receive the highest quality care and protection for their homes and businesses.”

Josh Langdon, CEO of Aruza Pest Control, said, “I’m delighted welcome HomeMasters to our growing team and to be able to serve residents of Smithfield and Johnston County once again. I grew up in Smithfield, so coming home and being a part of another great Smithfield pest business is very exciting to me and my family. Both companies have a long history of putting people first—both team members and customers—and providing the absolute best customer experience possible.”
