Notable: "I know I say this every year, but there is more interest at this PestWorld coming from financial sponsors than I've ever seen before. You've always had the big five strategics plus Arrow, Massey and others, but now you have 10, 20, 30 private equity companies that ... over the last 12-18 months are actually executing and doing deals." —Tim Mulrooney
