ATLANTA,  GEORGIA,  July 28, 2004:  Rollins,  Inc.  (NYSE:ROL),  a premier North
American  consumer  services  company,  today  reported net income grew 71.8% to
$23.8 million or $0.51 per diluted  share for the second  quarter ended June 30,
2004,  compared to $13.9  million or $0.30 per diluted share for the same period
in 2003.  Net income for the quarter  included  gains from the sale of assets of
$8.1 million net of tax, or $0.17 per share.  Revenue for the quarter grew 12.2%
to $207.7  million  compared to $185.1 million for the second quarter ended June
30, 2003.  This increase  includes  $13.7 million in revenue  resulting from the
April 30, 2004 acquisition of Western Industries, Inc.

Net income for the first six months of 2004  climbed  53.9% to $32.5  million or
$0.70 per diluted  share  compared  to net income of $21.1  million or $0.46 per

months of 2004 compared to $340.2 million for the prior year.

Rollins'  balance  sheet remains  strong with total assets  increasing to $410.0
million and stockholders' equity increasing to $169.6 million.

Gary W. Rollins,  President and Chief Executive Officer of Rollins, Inc. stated,
"Our second quarter was extremely  positive,  beginning with the acquisition of
Western,  which is already  having a  favorable  impact on our  revenue and cash
flow. We were able to fund all but $15 million of the acquisition primarily from
cash on hand and our strong cash flow enabled us to complete the quarter with no
debt from the  purchase,  and with  almost $22  million  in cash and  short-term
investments."


<PAGE>
"Additionally,  in the second  quarter,  we  experienced  our strongest  organic
growth since the second quarter of 2000.  These results were  attributable  to a
good  pest  season  and  the  successful   implementation   of  our  2004  sales
initiatives.  We were further bolstered by improved customer retention resulting
from our service quality initiatives."

Rollins,  Inc.  is one of the  nation's  largest  consumer  services  companies.
Through its wholly owned  subsidiaries,  Orkin,  Inc. and Western Pest Services,
