Turner Pest Control, a pest management company based in Florida and part of Anticimex, has appointed Kevin Poland as its new President. The company announced the leadership change as it seeks to continue its expansion and innovation efforts across the state.
Poland brings nearly 15 years of experience in the pest control industry. He previously served as President of American Pest, another Anticimex company located in Maryland. At American Pest, Poland led the business through a period of growth that included four acquisitions and the company’s 100-year anniversary. He was involved in integrating 17 mergers and acquisitions and launching new service lines during the COVID-19 pandemic. Poland has also held leadership roles within industry organizations, such as the National Pest Management Association’s Leadership Networking Council, and served on the boards of the Maryland State Pest Control Association and the Virginia Pest Management Association.
As President of Turner Pest Control, Poland will be responsible for guiding the company’s strategic direction, overseeing daily operations, and supporting growth in sales, service delivery, customer satisfaction, and team development.
“Joining Turner Pest Control is an incredible opportunity, and I couldn’t be more excited to lead such a talented and driven team,” said Turner Pest Control President Kevin Poland. “What drew me here was not just the company’s strong track record of growth, but also its unwavering commitment to people – both the customers we serve and the team members who make it all happen. I look forward to building on the strong foundation already in place, empowering our teams to grow and push the boundaries of what great service and leadership can look like in this industry.”
Turner Pest Control’s recent activities include expanding its presence in Florida through acquisitions and divesting its fumigation division to focus on core services. These moves are intended to position the company for continued innovation and market leadership.
“We are pleased to welcome Kevin Poland as the new President of Turner Pest Control,” said Anticimex North America President Steve Nylund. “Kevin brings a rare blend of operational acumen and a proven track record of driving growth through strategic acquisitions and team development. His leadership style perfectly aligns with our vision for Turner’s next phase of expansion and innovation across Florida.”
