Arrow Exterminators opens 200th service center

Atlanta, Ga.-based Arrow Exterminators opened two new service centers in Cleveland, Tenn., and Lafayette, La., marking Arrow’s 199th and 200th service centers and representing a significant milestone in the company’s continued growth.

The Cleveland office, which will be known as the Cleveland Service Center, provides a full range of residential pest control services to support the growing needs of homeowners in the area. This marks the company’s 14^th office in the state of Tennessee.

The Lafayette office, which will be known as the Louisiana Commercial Service Center, offers comprehensive commercial pest control services and supports businesses across a broad region, servicing customers from Baton Rouge to Lake Charles. This marks Arrow Exterminators’ fourth office in the state of Louisiana.

“Being a family-owned and operated company for 62 years, we strongly value family and community,” said Emily Thomas Kendrick, CEO, in a news release. “Our passion is one of the key components of not only providing exceptional service to our customers but also being involved in the communities where we serve.”

Tim Pollard, president and chief operating officer, added, “Reaching our 200th service center is an exciting milestone for our company and a testament to the dedication of our team members. With continued growth in both residential and commercial markets, we saw an opportunity to expand our services in Tennessee and Louisiana. These new locations allow us to better serve our customers while supporting the growth of businesses, particularly in the Louisiana market. This achievement would not have been possible without the hard work and commitment of our 3,600+ team members.”
