Fulton, MD, September 30, 2021—American Pest, the leading provider in modern, preventive pest management throughout Maryland, Washington D.C., and Virginia acquires Capitol Pest–a leading family-owned pest control company of Beltsville, MD.
Founded in 1936 by J Douglas Rollow, Capitol Pest has spent 85 years perfecting its eco-friendly services and providing customizable pest management solutions to homes and businesses throughout Washington D.C., Montgomery County, and the surrounding DMV area. Brian Schoonmaker took over Capitol Pest in 2015 where he has spent the past 6 years modernizing operations, building density in their current markets, adding new service areas, and expanding their service offerings.
“Capitol Pest has a longstanding reputation for high quality and responsive customer service. Capitol is an ideal partner for American Pest to continue building the market-leading pest management organization in Maryland, Washington D.C., and Virginia. I am excited to welcome our new colleagues and customers to the American Pest and Anticimex family.” says Michael Schmitt, President of American Pest.
