ATLANTA, GEORGIA, April 22, 2003: Rollins, Inc. (NYSE:ROL), a premier North
American consumer services company, reported first quarter revenue increased
1.2% to $155.1 million for the period ended March 31, 2003 compared to $153.3
million for the prior year quarter.

share for the same period in 2002.

Over the past few years Rollins has taken decisive steps to be more efficient in

The Company's balance sheet continued to strengthen as of March 31, 2003, with
cash and short-term investments of $54.4, total assets of $331.7 million and
stockholders' equity increasing to $99.4 million.

Additionally, the Company split its stock three-for-two effective March 10,
2003.

President and Chief Executive Officer of Rollins, Inc. "Orkin is a fundamentally
strong company that has initiated numerous innovations to improve its
operations. Our recent recognition as one of the top U.S. 100 training companies
by Training Magazine is further validation of our commitment to excel."
