Commenting on the Company’s financial results, Gary W.

These results reflect our team’s ongoing commitment to continuous improvements in all areas of our business: customer service, sales, productivity initiatives, marketing, and other programs. We completed the conversion of our new CRM and operating system (BOSS), to over 95% of the Orkin branches this quarter. Our expenses were negatively impacted this quarter by the acceleration of this roll-out.”

 

“We’re extremely proud to announce our Company’s acquisition this quarter of our first operation in the United Kingdom, Safeguard Pest Control and Environmental Services. Safeguard is the largest independent pest control company in London and the surrounding Southeastern Counties.
