Rollins, Inc. has acquired Romex Pest Control, a top‑40 pest‑management company ranked by PCT 100, adding more than 200 employees and a strong Utah footprint to its portfolio. The deal, announced on April 2 2026, is expected to broaden Rollins’ commercial and residential service base in a high‑growth region.
Romex, headquartered in Pleasant Grove, Utah, was founded in 2016 and serves residential and commercial customers across four states. With over 200 teammates, the company is a significant regional player and a “top‑40” performer in the PCT 100 rankings, underscoring its market relevance and operational scale.
The acquisition aligns with Rollins’ disciplined M&A playbook, which has added 26 businesses in 2025 alone. By bringing Romex into its portfolio, Rollins strengthens its recurring service base and gains a foothold in Utah, a key growth market for the pest‑control industry’s ongoing consolidation. The move also supports the company’s strategy of adding high‑quality, geographically diverse brands that can maintain their own identities while benefiting from Rollins’ resources.
"The acquisition of Romex Pest Control will contribute to our long‑term growth strategy in new regions across the United States. Romex provides Rollins entry points into new markets," said Jerry Gahlhoff, President and CEO. "While joining our portfolio of brands will enable Romex to further scale operations and expand service offerings to existing customers, they will maintain their brand identity given their strong reputation as a high‑quality, customer‑focused business in the areas in which they operate." Kenneth Krause, Executive Vice President and CFO, added, "The acquisition of Romex is another example of our successful M&A playbook in action. We continue to add high‑quality businesses to our premier portfolio of brands through a disciplined and strategic approach. The runway for continued growth from acquisitions remains solid, supported by a robust pipeline of opportunities that exist in a highly fragmented and growing market." Sam Crossley, Chief Operating Officer of Romex, noted, "We didn’t choose Rollins because they were one of the biggest names in the industry. We chose them because they share the same commitment to our customers and communities with which we’ve built our business. Our Romex customers will see the same faces, the same service, and the same standards, with even more resources behind them."
