"In our quest for a partner, we employed a different strategy from most of our contemporaries. While a fit for core values seems to be at the top of most companies' wish list, we felt our core values to be 'baked in' and something that likely to survive. Our focus was looking for a partner who could provide an abundance of opportunities for both personal and professional advancement for our existing staff," said Mark Nadolski of the decision to sell to Rentokil Steritech. "We look forward to our retirement and the future successes of those who we have left to steer the ship."

PCO M&A Specialist, a division of PCO Bookkeepers, acted as exclusive financial advisor to Russell's Pest Control.
