Certus adds to its South Florida business with the acquisition of Patrick Exterminating.
Certus expands further into Florida with the acquisition of Patrick Exterminating. Servicing Martin, St. Lucie and Northern Palm Beach Counties, Patrick Exterminating has provided pest and termite control and lawn care services since 1988. Founder and owner Rick Patrick said, “When I started this business, I was the only employee. That isn’t the case today. Most of my team has been with me for more than 15 years. A key factor in my decision was making sure they would be joining a company that would recognize their tenure and loyalty and help them continue to grow.”
Mike Givlin, CEO and co-founder of Certus, commented “The long tenure of the team at Patrick Exterminating speaks volumes about the business Rick has created. We look forward to welcoming them into the Certus family and continuing to support their strong service and employee-centered culture.”
