The company entered the Florida market this month with the acquisition of Hoskins Pest Control.

Certus entered the pest control market in 2019 with its first two acquisitions: Mathis Exterminating in Puget Sound, Wash., and Eco Elite Pest Control in Seattle, Wash.

With the acquisition of Hoskins Pest Control, Certus now operates in Florida and Washington. The company expects to continue to grow in its existing markets and enter new markets in 2020.
