Geotech Supply is included in the acquisition and will continue to expand its current operations, the firm said. Rollins expects to close in the first quarter 2019 subject to regulatory approvals.The acquisition of Clark, which operates in 26 locations serving residents and businesses throughout California and northwestern Nevada, makes Rollins the largest pest control provider in California.Clark becomes part of the Rollins Specialty Brands division, which is led by Jerry Gahlhoff. Robert Baker — who most recently served as vice president of operations — becomes president of Clark Pest Control, which will continue to operate under the Clark brand. "In our experience, we find that successful brands continue to prosper based on their unique connection with their customers, community and marketplace," Gahlhoff said.
