Rentokil Terminix Acquires Cridder Ridder and Animal Remover

In April, as part of its strategic growth plan, Rentokil Terminix expanded its wildlife removal capabilities through the acquisition of Cridder Ridder Wildlife and Pest Control and Animal Remover. Both entities bring extensive experience in humane wildlife management to the Rentokil Terminix family of brands.

“Expanding our wildlife removal presence with these two premier organizations is a direct reflection of our commitment to our customers,” said Alain Moffroid, CEO of Rentokil Terminix. “We recognize that wildlife challenges require a specialized set of skills, and by partnering with these experts, we are creating a more robust organization that is uniquely positioned to handle these challenges with the care and technical precision our customers have come to expect from us.”

Founded in 1999, Cridder Ridder is a pest control and wildlife removal company serving the greater Kansas City region. Rentokil Terminix noted that in addition to wildlife removal, Cridder Ridder offers custom solutions for almost any type of intrusive animal issue, including interior and exterior protection.

Serving the greater Cincinnati region since 2010, Animal Remover specializes in humane and effective animal control and removal services. In addition to pest and wildlife management services, Animal Remover provides specialty solutions for bird, bat, and geese management.

“We learned early on that blending blue-collar skills with a high level of professionalism is what transforms a local operation into a leading organization,” said Nick and Tyler McVey, co-founders of Animal Remover. “Joining Rentokil Terminix allows us to scale that vision, ensuring our customers continue to receive the most innovative and professional wildlife solutions in the industry.”

Preferred Business Brokers acted as the advisor to Cridder Ridder, while The Potomac Company served as the advisor to Animal Remover.
