Platinum Pest Solutions to host Rolling Meadows opening

Platinum Pest Solutions Inc. is holding a grand opening and ribbon cutting event Thursday, Aug. 9, at its new location in Rolling Meadows.

The event takes place from 1 to 3 p.m. at 5400 Newport Drive. Networking with refreshments and lunch will be part of the event held in connection with the Rolling Meadows Chamber of Commerce.

Lansing-based Platinum Pest Solutions, a pest control and eradication company, said earlier this week that it has been included in Pest Control Technology's Top 100, which recognizes the best and largest pest control firms in the country.

"Because of our open-minded approach to management and our ability to keep our customers our priority, we've experienced unprecedented success in just five short years," said Jason Sayre, co-founder and president of Platinum Pest Solutions. "Doing the next right thing, for the next right reason has played a major role in us reaching this goal."

The annual Top 100 listing is based on the annual revenue of the largest pest management firms in the United States.

A little more than five years ago, Platinum Pest Solutions was just an idea, a dream and a cargo van shared by three friends, Sayre and his business partners Michael Panichi and Ken Williams. Since 2012, the company has grown to establish locations in Lansing, Indianapolis and Rolling Meadows.

"Without all the support and help from family, our business partners, and our employees we couldn't have reached this goal," said Panichi. "What is crazy is that we have only just begun. Soon, our Platinum trucks will be all over the United States."
