Acquisition Gives ServiceMaster Access to Well-Known Brand and Highly-Trained Employees With Deep Customer Relationships
Terminix, the leading provider of termite and pest control services in
the United States, today announced an important expansion in upstate New
York, Vermont and Massachusetts with the acquisition of the northern
division operations of Catseye Pest Control.
Founded in East Greenbush, N.Y., by a husband-and-wife team that went
door-to-door building relationships with customers, Catseye has served
the greater Albany area for 29 years. John and Monica Gagne built a
successful business that provides pest control, nuisance wildlife
control and exclusion services to thousands of homeowners and businesses
in the greater Albany area and Western Massachusetts.
"Catseye is well-known for providing high-quality pest control and
excellent customer service," said Bill Derwin, president of Terminix, a
ServiceMaster company (NYSE: SERV). "The company's culture and
commitment to an exceptional customer experience make Catseye a great
addition to our team."
"We are excited about this new relationship," said John Gagne, president
and co-owner of Catseye. "With a long history of innovation and
leadership, Monica and I are confident that joining with ServiceMaster's
pest control business is the right choice for our northern division. We
are proud of our team and are excited that our employees will continue
to provide our outstanding services to our loyal customers for years to
come."
Jason Bailey, vice president of mergers and acquisitions for
ServiceMaster, noted that strategic acquisitions are an important part
of the overall growth strategy and the company continually searches for
companies that mirror its focus on excellent customer service,
professionalism and the potential for growth. "We're pleased to welcome
this company to the growing ServiceMaster network," he said.
The acquired business operations will continue operating as Catseye Pest
Control with the support of Terminix and ServiceMaster. Catseye staff,
services and guarantees will remain the same. Paul Giannamore of The
Potomac Company represented and acted as sole and exclusive financial
advisor to Catseye Pest Control.
