Certus has acquired Walsh’s Pest Control, based in Monrovia, Calif.

Walsh’s namesake is owner Frank Walsh. Both he and the company have deep community ties throughout the Los Angeles area.

“Southern California is one of America’s most significant business markets, and Los Angeles is one our priority areas for growth,” said Patrick Kelly, senior vice president of corporate development at Certus. “Frank has built Walsh’s Pest Control into a high-quality company with a loyal customer base and a reputation for excellent service, and his company’s values strongly fit with our long-term strategies and goals. We are excited to welcome his team to Certus and excel together.”

Mrs. Bzzz Pest & Termite has sold its Vero Beach, Fla., location to Nozzle Nolen, the company announced.

Mrs. Bzzz said it will continue operating in its core Northeast markets — New Jersey, New York and Pennsylvania — as well as in North Carolina.

“This transition allows us to focus on the regions where we’re expanding most rapidly,” the company said in a statement. “Nozzle Nolen’s strong reputation and shared commitment to quality service made them a natural fit for this location.”
