Certus adds Able Pest Control to its Growing Washington Business
Certus continues to add to its growing Washington business with the acquisition of Able Pest Control. Founded in 1956, Able Pest services the greater Seattle metro area. James Nation Sr. purchased the business in 1985 employing his two sons James Jr (Jim), Gerald (Jerry) and daughter MaryAnn. Jim and Jerry Nation acquired the business from their parents in 2014 and have operated with the continued help of their sister MaryAnn Strong running the office.
Jim Nation said “With all three of us retiring, finding the right company to trust to maintain our service promise to customers was tricky, but through conversations with other owners and potential buyers, it became clear that Certus was the right choice.”
“Our company has always been about family, and my son plans to continue with the business. Certus has welcomed him onto their team and provided a home where he has more growth potential and support. ” commented Jerry Nation.
Mike Givlin, CEO and co-founder of Certus, commented “With their standing in the community, commitment to family, and customer relationships that span decades, Able Pest Control exemplifies what we look for in a Certus family company. ”
