The teammates and assets included in the acquisition span across four Canadian provinces, the United Kingdom and Boston, Mass. This acquisition will bring about 65 new teammates to Terminix, adding geographic density in the Canadian pest control market, and making Terminix Canada the third largest pest management company in country. Terminix said thee acquisition also reaffirms its commitment to the commercial pest space globally. 

 

“We are thrilled that the amazing team from Citron is joining Terminix,” said Doug Hart, vice president of International Operations at Terminix. “When we enter into partnerships to buy businesses, we look for a team with passion for providing excellent customer service, leaders who are dedicated to their teammates, and customers who love their pest control provider. Citron’s pest control division has all three of those qualities and we couldn’t be more excited to welcome them.”

 

The Citron pest control team has demonstrated an excellent customer retention rate, a result of their expertise and commitment to service excellence, Terminix said. These teams, who primarily service commercial customers, will largely be based out of existing Terminix locations and will soon go to market under the Terminix brand name. 

 

“We are grateful to the employees of our pest control division for their years of service and dedication,” said Mark Duxbury. “Joining a pure play pest control business will no doubt give them the support and focus to provide the best possible service for those customers.”

 

The acquisition closed on April 30, and LR Tullius represented and acted as exclusive financial advisor for Citron on the transaction.
