Arrow Exterminators Announces the Acquisition of Cajun Bug Exterminating, LLC in Lafayette, LA

“We are so excited to be in Lafayette and couldn’t be happier to have the customers and team members of Cajun Bug joining the Arrow family,” said Emily Thomas Kendrick, Chief Executive Officer of Arrow Exterminators. “As owners, Jeff and Kimi Hargrave have a wonderful, caring team and have built a really strong business in the Acadiana area.  Cajun Bug’s promise to create an unforgettable experience for every customer is perfectly aligned with ours, so this merger is a great fit for our team members and customers.  We look forward to continuing the service legacy they’ve established in Lafayette well into the future.”

“We were so happy to see Arrow Exterminators come to Louisiana earlier this year that we called them immediately to let them know we wanted to join forces, said Jeff Hargrave.  We’ve been watching Arrow for many years and secretly hoped they would want to put down roots in this area.  Their reputation for taking care of their people and treating their team members like family is well-known and well-deserved.”  Kimi added, “We built Cajun Bug to be a part of the community with strong family values and I know in my heart that Arrow will continue that commitment”.  “We are giving our long-tenured employees the chance to grow in their careers with Arrow and we are excited for their future.”

“As an Associate Certified Entomologist and President of LIPCA, Jeff has made a difference in the advancement of the pest control industry in Louisiana and today both Jeff and Kimi serve in various leadership roles in both the state and local pest control associations.”  “The training programs provided by Jeff and Kimi are second-to-none and will serve these team members well as they join the Arrow family,” stated Tim Pollard, Arrow’s President and Chief Operating Officer. “Louisiana remains a very important geography for us as we look to expand our footprint and bring our service to more new markets.”
