LOS ANGELES The Richards Group has added pest-control company Orkin following a review, the shop confirmed.

Interpublic Group’s Mullen in Wenham, Mass., and MDC Partners’ Kirshenbaum Bond + Partners in New York, were the other finalists. The client split with WPP Group’s JWT in Atlanta in May, ending a 30-year relationship. The Bedford Group consultancy in Atlanta guided the contest.

Orkin spent about $25 million in measured media in each of the past two years, per Nielsen Monitor-Plus.
