Greenix Pest Control, an Orem-based pest management company, has announced the acquisition of Essential Pest Control, based in Knoxville, Tennessee, and also serving the Dayton, Ohio, market.
The acquisition brings Greenix’s footprint to 21 states. The firm now has more than 300,000 household customers across the Midwest, Northeast and Southeast.
