Even during a pandemic you need to control pests, insects, and creepy-crawlies. Considering that Rollins (NYSE: ROL) stock is up 27.8% over the first six months of 2020, according to data provided by S&P Global market Intelligence, it's clear that pest control was not one of the services that people were willing to give up during the COVID-19 outbreak.
One of the things that stands out with Rollins is that it's a serial acquirer, constantly buying more smaller businesses as it tries to roll up the pest control industry under its rather large and growing umbrella.
