Orkin Canada

What Orkin Canada does

Orkin Canada is a pest and wildlife control service provider operating in Canada as a wholly-owned subsidiary of Rollins, Inc. (NYSE: ROL), a publicly traded global pest control company headquartered in Atlanta, Georgia. The company, headquartered in Mississauga, employs 501-1,000 people and delivers pest management solutions to residential properties (primary segment), commercial establishments, and urban spaces across Canada. Its service portfolio includes general pest prevention and treatment (such as carpenter ant control), wildlife control, and a recently launched K9 Rodent Detection Service in Vancouver that uses a specially trained rescue dog to identify live rodent activity for early infestation prevention.

The company's core technology centers on field-delivered pest management rather than a software platform, with its most notable recent innovation being the K9 detection service introduced in November 2025. Orkin Canada operates within Rollins, Inc.'s broader ecosystem of pest control brands, benefiting from shared operational infrastructure, training systems, and brand recognition built since the Orkin brand's founding in 1901.

Orkin Canada generates revenue through subscription/recurring pest control service contracts with residential and commercial customers, delivered via a direct-to-consumer field service model. Pricing is not publicly disclosed. The company has pursued growth through targeted acquisitions, including the September 2023 acquisition of Atlas Pest & Wildlife Control Ltd., and through service innovation, such as the K9 rodent detection launch. Its go-to-market relies on direct service delivery by trained technicians, supported by content marketing (educational pest prevention articles) and earned media coverage of service innovations.
