Crane Pest Control, Inc. was established in 1930 in San Francisco, Calif. The Company with annual revenues exceeding $10 million is a leading provider of advanced pest management, serving Northern California and the Reno/Tahoe Basin.

"Joining Crane with Rollins is a good cultural fit for both companies," said Harold Stein, president of Crane Pest Control, Inc. and past president of the National Pest Management Association. "Crane Pest Control is now aligned with one of the premier pest management companies in North America and we look forward to a successful partnership with the Rollins team."
