The Aust Group announced the recent acquisition of its client, Southern Pest Control, Pascagoula, Miss., to Rentokil. Southern Pest Control was founded in 1976 by Marvin Jackson. After 26 years as an employee of the business, Karen Gregory became owner in 2010. Under Gregory’s leadership, the company expanded its footprint throughout southern Mississippi and the Alabama Gulf Coast. Gregory said, “The Aust Group did a fantastic job representing us, something we certainly could not have achieved throughout this process on our own. We now can say that without a doubt this was the best decision we could have made.” The Aust Group represented Southern Pest Control as the exclusive financial adviser on the transaction. Terms were not disclosed.
