The Pest Rangers Expands Into New Jersey With Acquisition of O.C.E. Pest & Termite Control

The Pest Rangers, one of Pennsylvania’s fastest-growing pest control providers, has officially expanded its regional footprint with the acquisition of O.C.E. Pest & Termite Control, a long-established, family-owned pest control company serving New Jersey and Pennsylvania since 1976.

The transaction was completed on November 26, 2025, with advisory support provided by Cetane Associates, a leading M&A firm serving home-service industries nationwide.

This acquisition strengthens The Pest Rangers’ growing service network across the Mid-Atlantic, giving customers in both states expanded access to professional termite, rodent, and general pest solutions.

A Trusted New Jersey Company Joins a Growing Pennsylvania Leader

O.C.E. Pest & Termite Control, originally known as Oxford Circle Pest, has been a staple in Edgewater Park, NJ, for nearly 50 years. The company built its reputation on dependable pest and termite management delivered with a personal, neighbor-focused approach.

“We’re really pleased with the outcome of the sale and know the company will be in good hands with The Pest Rangers. A big thank-you to Bob and the Cetane team for making the sale run smoothly.”

The acquisition allows O.C.E. customers to continue receiving high-quality pest control while gaining access to the expanded resources, technologies, and service capabilities of The Pest Rangers.
