Rollins, Inc. Completes Acquisition of Western Pest Services


ATLANTA, GEORGIA, May 3, 2004 -- Rollins, Inc. (NYSE: ROL), a premier North
American consumer services company, today announced that it has completed its
acquisition of Western Pest Services and affiliates for a cash payment of
approximately $110.0 million. Western Pest Services recorded revenues of $72
million in 2003 related to its pest control business.

At the same time, Rollins announced that it has sold certain ancillary
operations, Residex Corporation, the pest control material distribution company
that was acquired as part of the Western Pest Services transaction to an
industry distribution group.

Prior to the acquisition, Western Pest Services was recognized as a premier pest
control business and ranked as the 8th largest company in the industry. Based in
Parsippany, NJ, the Company provides pest elimination and prevention to homes
and businesses to over 130,000 customers from New York to Virginia with
additional operations in Georgia and Florida. Western is primarily a commercial
pest control service company and its existing businesses complement most of the
services that Orkin offers, in an area of the country in which Orkin has not
been particularly strong, the Northeast.

Glen Rollins, Vice President of Rollins, Inc. and President of Orkin, Inc., who
along with Western leadership, recently visited with all of Western's co-workers
over the past month commented, "We are impressed by the broad talent of the
Western team and look forward to learning a great deal from them. Working
together, we will improve operations and better serve our growing list of
customers."

Rollins, Inc. is one of the nation's largest consumer services companies.
Through its wholly owned subsidiary, Orkin, Inc., the Company provides essential
pest control services and protection against termite damage, rodents and insects
to approximately 1.6 million customers in the United States, Canada and Mexico
from over 400 locations. You can learn more about Orkin by visiting our Web
