RE: REGISTRATION STATEMENT ON FORM S-8

Ladies and Gentlemen:

We have acted as counsel to Rollins, Inc. (the "Registrant") in the
preparation of a Registration Statement on Form S-8 (the "Registration
Statement") of even date herewith filed by the Registrant with the Securities
and Exchange Commission under the Securities Act of 1933 for the registration of
$25 million in Deferred Compensation Obligations (the "Obligations"),
representing unsecured obligations of the Registrant to pay deferred
compensation in the future, which may be incurred in connection with deferrals
of employee salary and bonus payments, and Company contributions, under the
Registrant's Deferred Compensation Plan (the "Plan").

In so acting, we have examined and relied upon such records, documents and
other instruments as in our judgment we deemed necessary or appropriate in order
to express the opinion hereinafter set forth and have assumed the genuineness of
all signatures, the authenticity of all documents submitted to us as originals,
and the conformity to original documents of all documents submitted to us as
certified or photostatic copies.

Based on the foregoing, we are of the opinion that the Obligations, when
incurred in the manner contemplated by the Plan, and pursuant to an executed
Plan Agreement in substantially the form attached to this Registration Statement
as Exhibit 4.2, will be duly authorized, valid and binding obligations of the
Registrant, enforceable against the Registrant in accordance with their terms,
except as the same may be limited by bankruptcy, insolvency, reorganization or
other similar laws relating to or affecting the enforcement of creditors' rights
generally and by general principles of equity.

We hereby consent to the use of this opinion as an exhibit to the
Registration Statement and the reference to this firm under the caption
"Interests of Named Experts and Counsel" contained therein. In giving this
consent, we do not hereby admit that we come within the category of persons
whose consent is required under Section 7 of the Securities Act of 1933, as
amended, or the general rules and regulations thereunder.

Very truly yours,
