The Aust Group announced that its client, Desert Pacific Exterminators, sold to ServiceMaster’s subsidiary, Terminix International. Desert Pacific Exterminators, located in Yucca Valley, Calif., was acquired as part of an asset purchase agreement. The Aust Group represented Desert Pacific as the exclusive financial advisor on this transaction.
In 1991, Steve and Laurie Hawkins formed Desert Pacific Exterminators, focusing on the High Desert market. Desert Pacific has been voted as “Best of the Best” in the Morongo Basin the last six years.
Steve and Laurie Hawkins said, “We had been in business for over 25 years so it was hard to hand over our company to just anyone. The Aust Group was so helpful and they immediately communicated expectations with us and helped us every step of the way.”
