Advanced Services Pest Control, locally-owned and operated in Augusta, today announced they have sold to Turner Pest Control, one of the top 100 pest control companies in the United States. 

Advanced Services has more than 10,000 customers in Augusta, Statesboro, Savannah, Baxley and Guyton, Ga. —along with territories in Lexington, Columbia and Aiken, S.C. They have been servicing the CSRA for 35 years and offer pest and mosquito control, Sentricon termite colony elimination, wildlife control and attic insulation. The goal will be to focus on continued growth and expansion throughout Georgia, South Carolina and farther. 

“The vision and values of Turner Pest Control align with ours, and their sharp focus on their employees and customers was extremely attractive to us,” said Dena Thomas, the president of Advanced Services. “When the opportunity to join forces with Turner presented itself, it made perfect sense. It will give our employees more flexibility and gives us the opportunity to provide our services to a wider audience — expanding further throughout Georgia and South Carolina with the potential of regional expansion. After more than 26 years of working with the team at Advanced Services, this is a bittersweet moment, but our team is looking forward to this incredible partnership.”

With more than 400 employees, 60,000 customers and 50 years in business, Turner Pest Control was a family-owned company until it was acquired by Anticimex, a global leader in pest control. Turner serves customers throughout Florida and Georgia with their newest expansion into the CSRA. 

“Advanced Services has an exceptional reputation in the community and is highly regarded in our industry," says Turner Pest Control President Bill Talon. "We're proud to have them on board and we're confident that both of our companies will benefit from our shared commitment to exceptional quality and service. We look forward to continuing our relationship with their loyal customers on the foundation of trust and respect that the Advanced Services team established over their years of excellent service. “

Paul Giannamore and Franco Villanueva-Meyer of The Potomac Company represented and acted as exclusive financial advisers to Advanced Services and Green Frog Pest Solutions in this transaction.
