Longboat Key Pest Control has provided environmentally friendly fertilization, lawn and shrub care and pest control services to Sarasota and Manatee County area businesses and homeowners since 1993.
"This acquisition further strengthens our presence in the growing Sarasota marketplace, a market we entered just a few years ago," said John Hayes, chief executive officer of Sunair. "As a coveted territory by many of our competitors, the addition of Longboat Key bolsters our position by allowing us to expand our service coverage in a region we already serve."
"The Sarasota region is considered a new market at Middleton. The Longboat Key acquisition is strategic in our efforts to further build our presence and position in this new market, as we continue to expand our reach throughout Sarasota and Manatee counties," said Greg Clendenin, chief executive officer of Middleton Lawn & Pest Control. "Backed by our reputation for quality service and operational excellence, Middleton will provide Longboat Key's customers with extended services and no service interruptions in their existing service. We are excited about this acquisition and extend a warm welcome to our newest family members, the Longboat Key team."
