DALLAS, Texas - Dallas-based Sureguard Lawn & Pest Servicesannounced the merger and acquisition of R&B Pest Control of Sachse, a family-owned company serving the North Texas area.

“We are excited to be able to service the R&B customers and provide them with the personalized services that they are accustomed to," said Mike Houston, president of Sureguard Lawn & Pest Services. "We also provide additional services that were not previously available by R&B. This acquisition allows us to continue to create more density in our routing allowing us to be able to give even better service and response time to our clients.”

Rusty Burgher, owner of R&B, is a longtime pest control professional. He started his pest control career at Big State Pest control in the 1970s, becoming a manager of North Texas branch before opening R&B Pest Control.
