ATLANTA, March 2, 2018 /PRNewswire/ -- Rollins, Inc. (NYSE: ROL) announced today that it has completed its acquisition of OPC Services.

Donnie Blake added, "The OPC Services family is proud to become a member of the Rollins family of companies. Rollins is at heart a family company with the same dedication OPC Services has for customer satisfaction and employee empowerment. We believe becoming a Rollins' Specialty Brands Company is the best decision for continuing OPC Service's brand, core values and culture.  We look forward to the opportunities and services that being a member of the Rollins family of companies will provide our customers and team members."
