Profile scopeKansas City, Missouri profile. No Washington, Oregon and Idaho or Utah Saela profile exists; a BBB search (October 13, 2026) shows five Saela listings: Kansas City Missouri, Merriam Kansas, Wheeling Illinois, Thornton Illinois and a new Atlanta Georgia headquarters profile (file opened 10/12/2026, 0 complaints, 0 reviews). The Kansas City profile’s “About This Business” text describes Rollins, Inc., and its complaint figures (1,053/3yr on October 13, 2026; 1,055 on October 11, 2026) and review figures (1.21/5 from 414, October 11, 2026) equal the Rollins, Inc.
