Sean Young was named Termite Technician of the Year by PCT Magazine in the publication’s January edition. Young, a HomeTeam Pest Defense pest control technician and Houston resident, will be recognized at a special awards ceremony at the Mayflower Hotel in Washington, D.C. during the National Pest Management Association’s Legislative Day March 2, 2010. 

HomeTeam Pest Defense announced today it has acquired Raburn Pest Control and Lindsey Termite and Pest Control, Inc., both of Tampa, Florida and the assets of PestBear in Atlanta, Georgia. Terms of the transactions were not disclosed.

HomeTeam Pest Defense was acquired in April by Rollins, Inc., a premier North American consumer services company based in Atlanta, Georgia.
Prior to the sale, HomeTeam was the third largest residential pest management company in the U.S and is still the largest servicing homebuilders. Established in 1996, the company works with over 1,000 builder partners and currently performs more than 1 million pest control services a year. HomeTeam emerged as a leader in pest management based heavily on its innovation of Taexx®, HomeTeam’s built-in pest control system installed in tens of thousands of new homes each year.

HomeTeam Pest Defense has acquired the assets of Advanced Pest Control. Located in Jefferson County, West Virginia, the acquisition provides an opportunity to extend HomeTeam's reach in the Washington Metropolitan Area.

HomeTeam Pest Defense has announced the promotion of Robert J. Wanzer to the position of chief executive officer, effective immediately. HomeTeam Pest Defense is the third largest residential pest management company in the United States.

HomeTeam Pest Defense has acquired the assets of the Las Vegas, Nevada business operation of Arrow Exterminators, Inc. In return, HomeTeam Pest Defense sold the assets of its Dalton, Georgia operations to Arrow. This marks the 29th acquisition within the last three years for HomeTeam.

HomeTeam Pest Defense® and its employees are rolling up their sleeves and doing their part to help an Extreme Makeover: Home Edition family rebuild their home and find new hope. HomeTeam Pest Defense is contributing a termite pretreatment and its patented Taexx built-in pest control system to a newly-built home in an upcoming episode, which is scheduled to air on Sunday, January 21 on ABC-TV at 8/7c (see local listings for exact times).

HomeTeam Pest Defense, which was established 10 years ago and is now the third largest residential pest control company in the U.S., is launching its newly branded built-in pest control system, now called Taexx™. "The name change simply helps us further distinguish ourselves in the marketplace. The name is easier for new home buyers and home builders to recognize and remember," said Rob Swartz, Chairman and CEO of HomeTeam Pest Defense.
