July 24 (Reuters) - Rollins reported a 9% jump in second-quarter revenue on Wednesday, helped by steady demand for its pest control services in the United States.
Rising global temperatures boost pest populations, driving up demand for pest control services from households as well as businesses, benefiting companies such as Rollins.
The Atlanta, Georgia-based company has also undertaken pricing actions over the past year to offset costs tied to labor, which form a major portion of its expenses.
The Orkin-parent's revenue in the quarter ended June 30, rose to $891.9 million from $820.8 million reported a year earlier.
Rollins' adjusted profit per share for the quarter was 27 cents, in line with market expectations.
