SAN ANTONIO, Texas —HomeTeam Pest Defense, a division of Rollins, recently acquired Stout Pest Control of San Antonio, Texas.
Stout Pest Control was founded in 1989 by Russell Stout, who formerly worked in the West Texas oilfields. Stout, along with wife Linda — whose primary responsibilities were managing the back office (payroll, taxes, etc.), while also working full time as a flight attendant — built the business from scratch. Stout Pest Control found its niche providing WDI inspections and treatments; Russell Stout became a trusted name among San Antonio real estate professionals.
“One of things people appreciate about Russell is that he can be so calming with real estate transactions, which can sometimes be volatile,” said Linda Stout. “Realtors appreciated that, so that whenever he did find carpenter ants or termites he was able to put clients at ease, so that would not blow the deal. Realtors knew he would do a good inspection and re-assure customers that even if something was found we could still do the deal.”
Stout Pest Control’s success in the WDI sector helped the company build its pest control customer base. Stout grew to employ six service professionals, servicing Kendall and Boerne counties — areas within a 75-mile radius of San Antonio.
Linda Stout said they decided to sell so that Russell could enjoy retirement.
Paul Giannamore of The Potomac Company acted as exclusive advisor to Stout Pest Control.
