Terminix Acquires Pestech Pest Solutions

MEMPHIS, Tenn. – Terminix has acquired Pestech Pest Solutions, Ferndale, N.Y. The deal was announced Pestech’s advisor The Potomac Company.

Pestech was founded in 1989 by Bruce Davidson. The companyhas grown significantly in three decades and now operates over a vast majority of the state of New York, also servicing five counties in New Jersey and four counties in Pennsylvania.

Bruce Davidson brought three of his passions to life in his founding of Pestech: a fascination of bugs, captivation by business development, and an innate desire to help others. After Pestech had been operating for 20 years, Pestech Pest Solutions became QualityPro certified.

Just one year later in 2010, Pestech was asked to join Copesan, an alliance of regional pest management providers, becoming a Copesan shareholder. With his new certification and partnership with Copesan, Bruce Davidson was later recognized as Copesan’s Large Partner of the Year in 2014 and 2018.

In 2005, Bruce Davidson’s son, Mark Davidson, joined the family business as a service technician. Over the course of 16 years, Mark Davidson found a passion within the industry and successfully advanced in his career becoming CEO of Pestech in mid-2020. Shortly before, Mark also joined QualityPro as a board member. Mark Davidson continues to oversee the day-to-day operations and plans for the future of Pestech.

Pestech provides pest control including both commercial and residential services with just over 60 employees.

The transaction closed in late 2021; terms were not disclosed.

Paul Giannamore and Franco Villanueva-Meyer of The Potomac Company advised Pestech Pest Solutions in its acquisition by Terminix.
