Savannah, Ga.-based Yates-Astro Termite & Pest Control has acquired the Brunswick, Ga.-based operations of A-1 Economic Exterminators.
The acquisition officially closed on June 30, 2026. Customers previously served by the acquired A-1 Economic Exterminators business in Glynn, Brantley and McIntosh counties are now served through Yates-Astro’s Brunswick branch. The acquisition does not include the St. Marys, Ga.-based A-1 Economic Exterminators of Camden Inc., only the Brunswick-area business.
“We are honored to continue the legacy that A-1 Economic Exterminators has established over the past several decades,” said Rick Culbreth Jr., president of Yates-Astro Termite & Pest Control. “A-1 Economic Exterminators has been serving Brunswick families and businesses since 1977, and their reputation for dependable service, professionalism, and strong community relationships makes them an excellent fit for our organization. This acquisition expands our local presence while preserving the values that customers have come to expect. The transaction was made even more meaningful by the genuine respect and trust that exists between our company and the sellers, creating a smooth transition and a bright future for both our employees and customers.”
