Founded in Sweden in 1934, Anticimex began as a family business tackling a major issue at the time: bed bugs. The Company's innovative approach offered a “no bed bugs guarantee” to customers, proving highly successful. This early focus on customer satisfaction and effective solutions laid the foundation for Anticimex's journey to becoming a global leader in pest control.
Beyond just eliminating pests, Anticimex strategically expanded its services in the 1940s and 50s. Broadened the services scope to include controlling rodents and insects, addressing a wider range of pest problems. In a bold move, Anticimex also partnered with a Swedish insurance company in the 1960s. This unique collaboration allowed us to offer pest control services as part of insurance packages, solidifying the Company role in preventative measures.
