Values & History

Critter Control began as Clark's Critter Control in 1982, founded by Kevin Clark. A Detroit metropolitan area chimney sweep, Clark received a call asking for help removing a raccoon from a chimney, prompting him to build a business around pest control. Five years later in 1987, Critter Control, Inc. was incorporated and began franchising around his successful business model. Today the company is part of Rollins, Inc., a worldwide commercial and consumer services company that includes brands such as Orkin, HomeTeam Pest Defense, Trutech Animal Control, Crane Pest Control, and many more. The home office is located in Marietta, GA.
