Tampa, Fla.-based Certus Pest Control acquired Evolve Pest Control, a pest control company servicing Northwest Arizona, Southeast Nevada and Southwest Utah. The move strengthens Certus Pest’s presence in the Las Vegas area, which includes one of its established brands, Las Vegas Pest Control.
“Greater Las Vegas is one of our favorite operating areas because there is a large population of customers and pests, and those two don’t like to cohabitate,” said David Joles, chief operating officer for Certus. “Bringing Evolve Pest Control aboard ensures we continue eradicating pests in this region, which equals happy customers.”
For the foreseeable future, Evolve will continue operating under its current brand name. Current customers will also gain access to a broader range of services, such as termite control and prevention.
“Joining forces with a top-notch company like Certus Pest is a no-brainer for us,” said Shad Teerlink and Nephi Julien, founders of Evolve. “They have proven expertise in enhancing pest control services to homeowners and businesses to help protect what matters most.”
