The Ledger / Gary Rollins & family
Gary Rollins & family
◼ Origin
Son of Wayne Rollins, who founded Rollins Inc. and acquired Orkin Pest Control in 1964; Gary served as CEO of Rollins Inc. (NYSE: ROL) from 2001 to 2012 and remains on its board; Orkin is the world's largest pest control company, with 700+ locations in 50+ countries and $3.4B in 2023 revenue.
◼ Self-Made Verdict — INHERITED
Inherited his stake in Rollins Inc. and Orkin from his father Wayne Rollins, who built the pest control empire; Gary served as CEO but did not originate the business.
◼ Documented marks
01
Inherited Rollins Inc. (NYSE: ROL), the world's largest pest control company through Orkin (founded 1901), which operates 700+ locations in 50+ countries; Rollins generates $3.4B in annual revenue by providing recurring-subscription pest control services to residential and commercial customers.
02
Orkin has faced OSHA citations at multiple facilities for worker safety violations including chemical exposure and inadequate personal protective equipment; pest control technicians are among the occupations with above-average occupational illness rates.
03
Rollins Inc.'s recurring service contract model (customers typically pay monthly) creates high customer retention and predictable revenue; the model has been used as a case study in private equity for stable cash-flow businesses, and Rollins itself has made 40+ acquisitions to roll up independent pest control operators.
