FREDERICKSBURG, Va. —Joe Wilson, CEO of PermaTreat, celebrated his 50th year in pest control on June 5. Wilson began his career in pest control in 1965 working for Orkin.
In 1982, he purchased Fredericksburg, Va.-based PermaTreat, which had been established in 1967. PermaTreat has grown into a $12.5 million company, with nine branches and more than 100 employees serving Central and Northern Virginia. The company has established itself as a leader in general pest and termite control, real estate inspections, new construction pretreatment, outdoor pest control, and services to industrial, commercial and residential customers.
In August 2014, Rollins announced that it signed a definitive agreement to acquire PermaTreat through a tax-free reorganization of PermaTreat's parent, Wilco Enterprises, Inc.
