Arrow Exterminators acquires Davis Exterminators in Panama City, FL

Davis Exterminators marks Arrow’s 4^th office in the Florida Panhandle

Atlanta-based Arrow Exterminators has acquired Davis Exterminators, Inc. headquartered in Panama City, FL.

Founded in 1966, Davis Exterminators is a full-service company providing pest and termite control service to residential and commercial customers in Destin, Lynn Haven, Panama City, Santa Rosa Beach, Seaside, Watercolor and other communities along the Emerald Cost.   Brothers Steve Davis and John Newman have operated the Bay county based, family-owned company since taking it over from their parents in the 1990’s.  Both Steve and John are retiring after very successful careers of servicing customers and growing the company.

“We are very pleased to have merged with the Davis Exterminators organization which has a great reputation for service in the Florida Panhandle,” said Emily Thomas Kendrick, Chief Executive Officer of Arrow.  “This office gives us 51 service centers throughout the state of Florida and a total of 186 offices in the country. “ 

“I learned the importance of treating my employees and customers like family from my father more than 50 years ago and that philosophy has treated us extremely well over these many years”, said Steve Davis.  John Newman added, “We established ourselves as one of the most trusted pest control companies in the area and we are proud to join a fellow family-owned and operated company and be a part of the growing Arrow family here in Florida.”

“Davis Exterminators is a wonderful name in this part of Florida and we are proud to have this strong team of professionals join the Arrow family,” stated Tim Pollard, Arrow’s President and Chief Operating Officer. “Now with over 50 offices, Florida is a very important state to us as we continue to grow opportunities for our existing and new team members. We continuously look to merge with high-quality companies like Davis and we are looking forward to offering these long-term customers an expanded range of services.”

Davis Exterminators will ultimately operate under the Stark Exterminators brand.
