BugCo Expands Its Presence in Texas as Pest Season Approaches

With the arrival of summer, communities across Texas are gearing up for a surge in mosquito and pest activity. In response to this seasonal challenge, BugCo, a subsidiary of Anticimex, has announced the completion of its sixth acquisition in the state, which significantly enhances its pest control operations. This strategic move underlines BugCo's commitment to grow its presence in one of the largest pest control markets in the United States.

The recent acquisition of McGrath Pest Control exemplifies BugCo's focus on fostering partnerships with reputable local pest control companies that prioritize personal service, integrity, and genuine care for their customers. As the company expands, it aims to safeguard homes, families, small businesses, and the wider Texas community.

BugCo enjoys a legacy of over six decades, winning the trust of Texas families by merging local knowledge with a warm, community-oriented approach. Under the BugCo brand, backed by a global network of pest control experts from Anticimex, this tradition of hometown service continues to flourish.

Shawn Hollis, the President of BugCo, stated, “Texas is a crucial market for pest control, and we are building a solid foundation for sustainable growth here. This sixth acquisition is not merely about expanding our locations; it's about integrating strong local teams into a brand that honors the service customers have come to trust while providing them with the necessary tools and systems for success.”

BugCo adheres to a straightforward promise: “We Make the Bugs Go.” Catering to both residential and commercial clients, the company focuses on delivering pest control services marked by respect, honesty, and reliability. With transparent pricing and a commitment to avoiding hidden fees, BugCo resonates with local communities by employing teams that understand their unique pest control needs.
