                  Rollins, Inc. Announces Agreement to Acquire
                         The Industrial Fumigant Company

ATLANTA,  GEORGIA,  Sept. 19, 2005, -- Rollins, Inc. (NYSE: ROL) a premier North
American consumer and commercial  services company,  today announced that it has
entered into a definitive  purchase agreement to acquire The Industrial Fumigant
Company, (IFC). The transaction is expected to close in October.

Don Wilbur and Jim Arnote. In 1996 the company was sold to its employees and has
been owned by the IFC Employee Stock Ownership Plan since. Its  concentration on
a specific  industry  segment has led IFC to a position of leadership in matters
of food plant pest management,  auditing, and training.  Since being acquired by
its employees,  IFC has increased its  nationwide  coverage to 25 offices and 17
warehouses.  Based in Olathe,  Kansas,  IFC employs over 130 associates who have
helped  build an  innovative  culture,  focused on  bringing  the latest  proven
technology  available  to the food  industry.  With  revenues  in  excess of $26
million,  the company is the 24th largest company in the pest control  industry.

announcement marks a great day for many people.  Rollins, Inc. is adding another
jewel to their crown as leaders in the pest management industry.  Their business
ethics,  acumen  and hard work have been  admired by IFC's  management  for some
time.  IFC's  greatest  asset and  resources  has always  been its  people.  The
combination of IFC's employees and Rollins' resources will be very beneficial to
the food  industry.  This  partnership  will be a win,  win  situation,  for the
