ATLANTA, Ga. - Recently Arrow Exterminators announced the merger of Copter Pest Control, a full-service company, which focuses on residential and commercial pest and termite control in Coffee and Dale Counties in Southeast Alabama. This transaction allows Arrow to grow and reach more residential and commercial customers with a full line of services and provides Arrow with a larger presence in the Wiregrass region of the southern U.S.
Chief executive officer of Arrow, Emily Thomas Kendrick said, "We are excited to welcome the team members and customers of Copter Pest Control to the Arrow family.

President of Copter Pest Control, James "Jimbo" Grimsley, Jr. said, "We started looking for a company to merge with earlier this year, a company that would first take care of our team members and treat them as family. When we met with Arrow, we knew we were with the right team as Arrow is obsessed about how customers are treated."
Grimsley added, "We are so happy to join a fellow family-owned and operated company and be a part of the Arrow family and be able to offer our long-time customers an expanded range of services."
