Acquisition approach

HomeTeam only acquires operators who use the Taexx built-in pest control system and have active builder relationships. If you're a Texas operator with multiple builder accounts and Taexx installations, HomeTeam is the most natural acquirer. Texas new construction volume (Frisco, Prosper, Celina, Georgetown) makes TX a high-priority HomeTeam market.
