ATLANTA, Feb. 18, 2020 /PRNewswire/ -- Rollins, Inc. (NYSE: ROL), a premier global consumer and commercial service company, announced today that its subsidiary, Clark Pest Control of Stockton, Inc., has completed the purchase of Clark Pest Control, Inc., based in Bakersfield, CA.

Clark Pest Control was founded in Fresno, California in the 1940's by two brothers, Jim Sr. and Charlie Clark.

They continued to share the Clark Pest Control name, and their respective businesses grew.

Rollins previously acquired Clark Pest Control of Stockton, Inc., in the second quarter of 2019.
