Arrow Exterminators Strengthens Texas Footprint with Spider Man Pest Control Acquisition
Atlanta-based Arrow Exterminators recently announced a strategic merger and acquisition deal with Spider Man Pest Control, establishing Arrow’s presence in San Antonio, Texas. This calculated business move gives the company a foothold in Texas’ third-largest metropolitan area, complementing their existing operations in Austin, the state’s fourth-largest metro area.
For residents of East Texas dealing with persistent pest problems, this expansion highlights the growing importance of strategic positioning in the pest control industry. Companies continually seek to expand their service territories to meet increasing demand for reliable pest management services across the Lone Star State.
A Texas Legacy Joins the Arrow Family
“We’re absolutely thrilled to finally establish a presence in San Antonio and couldn’t be more pleased to welcome Spider Man Pest Control’s customers and team members into the Arrow family,” remarked Emily Thomas Kendrick, Chief Executive Officer of Arrow Exterminators. “Warren Remmey, born and raised in San Antonio, established Spider Man in 1976 and has consistently delivered exceptional service to San Antonio and nearby communities. We’re committed to maintaining that level of excellence moving forward.”
The acquisition means Spider Man Pest Control will join Arrow’s network of 12 other locations throughout Texas. The San Antonio operation will transition to operating under the Arrow Exterminators brand, further solidifying Arrow’s expanding presence in the Texas market.
Building on Shared Values
Warren Remmey, founder of Spider Man Pest Control, reflected on the decision: “Our relationship with Arrow began ten years ago, and throughout that time, every interaction with their team has been both professional and personable. I recognized that Arrow prioritizes customer satisfaction and family values, which ultimately influenced Marilyn’s and my decision to choose them. We’ve experienced their family-oriented culture through every member of Arrow’s team. This transition provides our long-standing employees opportunities for career advancement with Arrow, and we’re excited about what the future holds for them.”
Celeste Garner from Generational Equity served as the advisor to Spider Man Pest Control throughout the acquisition process, helping to ensure a smooth transition between the companies.
Industry Consolidation Continues
This acquisition represents another example of the ongoing consolidation trend within the pest control industry. Larger regional and national companies continue to expand their market presence by acquiring established local operations with strong customer bases and experienced technicians.
For consumers, these transitions often bring expanded service capabilities while maintaining local expertise. The pest control landscape has seen numerous similar acquisitions in recent years as companies seek to strengthen their geographic coverage and service offerings.

This acquisition strengthens Arrow’s position in the competitive Texas pest control market, particularly in the rapidly growing central and south Texas regions. The move demonstrates Arrow’s commitment to expansion within the state while respecting the legacy of established local pest management providers.
