Who really profits
Money paid to Fahey Pest & Lawn Solutions now flows to Turner Pest Control (Anticimex) (Jacksonville, FL), and from there to its investors — EQT AB (Anticimex) — whose funds are ultimately owed returns by their limited partners. Turner Pest Control, founded in Jacksonville in 1971, is the Florida platform of Swedish pest control group Anticimex. Since Anticimex acquired it, Turner has run an aggressive Florida roll-up - acquiring roughly 20 companies between 2018 and 2022 alone - concentrated on the Gulf coast from Tampa Bay south to Naples. Acquired brands are absorbed into the Turner brand rather than kept.
