Anticimex of Sweden has acquired American Pest Control of Fulton, MD, marking its second acquisition in the United States.
American Pest was founded by Paul Calvert Cissel as the American Disinfectant Company in 1925. The American Disinfectant Company was purchased from Mr. Cissel’s widow on November 23rd, 1983, by Robert Byrne, William Roll, Robert Wells, and Jay Nixon.
Anticimex’s entry into the United States has continued to exert upward pressure on transaction multiples in the Unites States pest control industry. The US market now has six large, well-capitalized acquirers: Rollins, ServiceMaster, Rentokil, Massey, Arrow and Anticimex.
Anticimex will utilize American Pest as a regional platform for growth in the Mid-Atlantic region.
