ATLANTA, April 2, 2025 /PRNewswire/ -- Rollins, Inc. (NYSE:ROL) ("Rollins"), a premier global consumer and commercial services company, today announced that it has acquired Saela Holdings, LLC ("Saela" or the "Company"). Saela employs more than 250 teammates and is headquartered in Orem, Utah. The Company ranks as the 23rd largest pest management company according to PCT 100 rankings with over $65 million in annual revenue.

"The acquisition of Saela will accelerate our long-term growth strategy and expand our presence in key geographies, including the Pacific Northwest, Mountain West, and Midwestern United States.
