JACKSONVILLE, Fla. — Turner Pest Control, an Anticimex company servicing residential and commercial clients in Florida and South Georgia, has acquired PestShield Termite & Pest Services. PestShield is headquartered in Sarasota, Fla., serving customers from Tampa to Naples.
Turner Pest Control is one of the fastest-growing companies in Florida and South Georgia, and this acquisition is the second in the company's planned strategy for growth in Florida. Turner continues to rise on the list of the largest 100 companies in the highly competitive pest control industry based on its prior years' revenues.
"Our two organizations both began as family-owned businesses," says Turner Pest Control CEO Mark Slater. "Even with the remarkable growth that Turner and PestShield have achieved, we've both maintained strong company values and cultures throughout the years, which should serve us and our customers well as we transition to becoming one company."
PestShield Termite & Pest Services was founded by co-owners Carm and Teri DiBella, who have more than 40 years of combined experience in the industry and a long tradition of community service. The company provides customized services to residential, commercial, and condominium properties along Florida's Southwest coast. According to Carm DiBella, "Our customers can expect to receive the highest-quality service from our new, combined team, while gaining access to the innovations that the Anticimex family of companies is known for. Teri and I are excited about this new partnership and look forward to delivering new benefits to our valued customers."
