The Pest Control Leader Expands Presence in Hawaii
Terminix®,
the leading provider of termite and pest control services in the United
States, today announced the acquisition of the assets of Diversified
Exterminators, a residential and commercial pest control company
specializing in fumigation services on the Hawaiian Islands.
Diversified Exterminators, headquartered in Honolulu, was established by
the late Mohinder Maan in 1972 and is the largest locally-owned pest
control company on Oahu. The company's workforce is well-known for
providing customers with timely service and solutions for the treatment
of termites, ants, fleas, rodents, birds, cockroaches and unique pests
native to the state.
"The acquisition of Diversified Exterminators expands our already strong
footprint on the Hawaiian Islands," said Bill Derwin, president of
Terminix. "We continually search for companies that mirror our focus on
excellent customer service, professionalism and the potential for
growth. We're pleased to welcome this strong company to the growing
Terminix family."
Terminix has seen substantial growth in Hawaii since entering the state
in the 1940s. With the Diversified Exterminators purchase, Terminix now
operates a total of seven branches across the islands. The acquisition
is part of Terminix's strategy to expand its footprint and increase
penetration in North America. Company officials said it will not have a
material impact on its first-quarter or full-year 2015 financial results.
