Reading, Pa.-based Rentokil North America has acquired Target Pest Control, based in Nova Scotia, Canada.

“It’s an honor to welcome Target Pest Control to the Rentokil family,” Renokil President and CEO John Myers said. “We look forward to continuing their legacy of customer service in the Nova Scotia market with residential and commercial pest control services.”

Target Pest Control has served residential and commercial pest control customers in the metro Halifax, Bedford and Lower Sackville communities in Nova Scotia for more than 10 years.

“The opportunity to partner with Rentokil was an easy decision,” said Stephen Taylor, president of Target Pest Control. “Our company now has access to more training, technology and resource capacity. This is a positive step forward for our employees and customers.”

Earlier this year, Rentokil purchased Environmental Pest Service (EPS), the parent company of Bug Out and Arrow Environmental Services, serving as Rentokil’s first acquisition of 2021.

In 2020, Rentokil acquired a total of eight companies bringing its service footprint across more than 15 states.
