Company looks to master buggy domain

A Tampa-based pest control company seeks to boost its over-the-counter Pink Sheets portfolio by joining forces with a Nevada-based competitor -- as a franchisee.

Chris Trina, CEO of Tampa-based Enviro-Serv Inc., says his company is finalizing an agreement that will bring it under the brand umbrella of Reno, Nev.-based Pestmaster Services. The deal will give Enviro-Serv the rights to the entire Tampa Bay market.

Once Enviro-Serv joins Pestmaster, it will inherit a five-year government contract with the U.S. Department of Veterans Affairs Trina says is worth $307,000. But he doesn't plan to stop there.
