Rollins Acquires Pair of Critter Control Franchises

ATLANTA — Rollins announced it has purchased its first two Critter Control franchises: Patrick Wildlife Services, dba Critter Control of Phoenix, and DWL Services of CCSD, dba Critter Control of San Diego and Critter Control of Orange County. In addition, the company has converted its existing Trutech operations in Phoenix and Tucson, Ariz., and Las Vegas to Critter Control and will operate as Critter Control in those markets going forward.

 

In March 2015, Rollins announced that it had acquired Critter Control, which was the franchisor of more than 110 wildlife control operations in the U.S. and Canada.  After previously acquiring Trutech in 2010, the company now owns the nation's two leading wildlife control companies.

 

"It was always our plan to acquire some of the Critter Control franchises in larger markets, and we are pleased to begin delivering on that promise," stated Rollins President and Chief Operating Officer John Wilson. "We continue to see a robust pipeline of acquisition opportunities in the Critter Control franchise organization."

 

"We are now striving to build the world's best wildlife company by merging our company-owned Trutech operations with the well-known Critter Control brand name," continued Wilson.  "Our short-term strategy will be a gradual approach, including company-owned Critter Control operations, franchised Critter Control operations, as well as company-owned Trutech operations."
