Birmingham, Ala.-based Waynes Pest Control expanded its presence in the Alabama Gulf Coast region with the recent acquisition of Mobile, Ala.-based Southeastern Termite & Pest Control.

Southeastern Termite & Pest Control has served Baldwin County and the surrounding areas since 1994.

Waynes Pest Control, an Anticimex company operating in Alabama, Tennessee and Mississippi, serves over 140,000 customers from service centers located in Chattanooga, Knoxville and Nashville, Tenn.; Daphne, Huntsville, Birmingham, Tuscaloosa, Fayetteville and Montgomery, Ala.; and Biloxi, Miss.

“For several years we have been looking for the right partner to expand our presence in the Gulf Coast,” Shawn Hollis, president of Waynes Pest Control, said in the news release. “Mike and the Southeastern team share like-minded values and a customer-first approach very similar to ours. With this new partnership we are well-positioned to fulfill our commitment of ‘World Class Service — Every Time’ to the current Southeastern customers and many more in the Alabama Gulf Coast for years to come.”

Mike Hollis, owner of Southeastern Termite & Pest Control, added, “Shawn and the team at Waynes were the perfect fit for this next step for Southeastern. As difficult of a decision as it is to hand over your passion project to someone else, I know both our team and customers will thrive in the Waynes family through their continue commitment to integrity, courage, perseverance and character.”
