### We Acquire Pest Control Businesses in Southern California - On Your Terms

Kestrel Pest is a Southern California-based buyer focused on established pest control operators. We work directly with owners — no brokers, no national chains — to create clean, private transitions that protect your team, your customers, and what you've built. 

### Our Approach to Partnership & Transitions

#### Preserve Your Legacy

 We prioritize continuity for customers and employees, maintaining the reputation and relationships you’ve built over decades. 

#### Support Your Team

 We aim to retain technicians and office staff, protecting stability and ensuring a smooth operational transition. 

#### Responsible Long-Term Growth

 We invest in systems, training, and operational discipline to strengthen the business without sacrificing service quality.  

### Our Process

#### *Simple. Respectful. No surprises.*

**1. A Conversation** — Reach out and we'll schedule a call at your convenience. No paperwork, no pressure. We want to understand your business and what matters most to you.

**2. An Honest Valuation** — We'll share a clear, straightforward assessment of what your business is worth and how we'd structure a deal. No games, no lowball offers.

**3. Flexible Deal Structure** — Every situation is different. We can close quickly, allow you to stay on as long as you'd like, carry a seller note, or structure an earnout — whatever works for your life.

**4. A Smooth Handoff** — We handle the transition so your customers and employees barely notice a thing. Your legacy stays intact.

### If You’re Thinking About What’s Next

If you’re beginning to consider succession, growth, or liquidity, we’re prepared to move thoughtfully and efficiently. Our process is straightforward, respectful, and designed to minimize disruption.

## Frequently asked questions

What size businesses do you work with?

 We typically work with businesses doing $500K–$5M in annual revenue, with 3–15 technicians. If you're outside that range, reach out anyway — we're flexible. 

Do I have to stop working after the sale?

 Not at all. Many owners stay on as general manager for 1–5 years. Some step back immediately. We follow your lead.

Do you provide customized solutions for different businesses?

Our digital marketing agency offers services such as social media management, search engine optimization (SEO), pay-per-click advertising, content marketing, email marketing, and website design and development.

Will you keep my employees?

 Yes. Your team is a core part of what we're buying. We aim to retain everyone and often add staff as we grow routes. 

How long does the process take?

 From first conversation to close typically takes 60–120 days, depending on complexity. We move at your pace. 

Do I need a broker?

 No. Working directly with us saves you a broker commission (typically 10–12% of the deal) and keeps the process private.
