“After 14 years with almost 200 cars and trucks on the road and nine functioning locations, my team and I made a decision to place Heron on the acquisition market,” said Joe Patti, former majority owner of Heron Lawn & Pest Control. “During the course of Greg’s career, his reputation of acquiring and selling other pest control companies was well established. Obviously, he was the only option as far as we were concerned to form, create and arrange this deal. Within a two-week window, the company ‘book’ we needed to begin this process was completed and on my desk.”
