FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE

                  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.

From its founding in 1937, IFC has been dedicated to pest management in the Food
and Commodity Industries and has a proud legacy of service under the guidance of
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.
You can learn more about IFC by visiting their web site at www.indfumco.com.

Gary W. Rollins,  President and Chief Executive Officer of Rollins,  Inc., said,
"We are  extremely  pleased  to  announce  this  agreement  with  IFC  which  is
consistent with our strategic plan to accelerate growth in commercial  services.
Under the  leadership  of Mike  Newland,  IFC has earned great  loyalty from its
customers and employees.  Although they will continue to operate  independently,
we hope to learn a great deal from Mike and his team of experts."

Mike  Newland,  President  and Chief  Executive  Officer of IFC,  stated,  "This
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
employees,  the  customers,


and the  Company.  IFC will be able to address  its  customer's  needs on a much
larger geographical scale and in areas beyond our core business."

Rollins,  Inc. is a premier  North  American  consumer and  commercial  services
company.  Through its wholly owned  subsidiaries,  Orkin,  Inc. and Western Pest
Services,  the Company  provides  essential pest control services and protection
against  termite  damage,  rodents  and  insects to  approximately  1.7  million

CAUTION CONCERNING FORWARD-LOOKING STATEMENTS
This release contains  statements that constitute  "forward-looking  statements"
within the  meaning of the  Private  Securities  Litigation  Reform Act of 1995.
These  include  statements  regarding  the  expected  closing  date  for the IFC
transaction and its benefit to the food industry.  The actual results of the IFC
transaction could differ materially from those indicated by the  forward-looking
statements  because  of  various  risks  and  uncertainties,  including  without
limitation,  general  economic  conditions;  market  risk;  changes in  industry
practices  or  technologies;  the ability of IFC and the Company to identify and
capitalize on business opportunities arising from the transaction; the Company's
ability to  integrate  IFC into its  operations;  climate  and  weather  trends;
competitive  factors and pricing practices;  potential increases in labor costs;
uncertainties  of  litigation;  and  changes  in  various  government  laws  and
regulations, including environmental regulations. All of the foregoing risks and
uncertainties  are beyond the  ability of the  Company to  control,  and in many
cases the Company  cannot predict the risks and  uncertainties  that could cause
its  actual  results  to  differ   materially   from  those   indicated  by  the
forward-looking statements. A more detailed discussion of potential risks facing
the  Company  can be found in the  Company's  Report on Form 10-K filed with the
Securities and Exchange Commission for the year ended December 31, 2004.
