#### Item 4.01. Changes in Registrant's Certifying Accountant.
The Audit Committee (the "Committee") of the Board of Directors of Rollins, Inc. (the "Company") conducted a competitive selection process to determine the Company's independent registered public accounting firm for the fiscal year ending December 31, 2023. The Committee invited several public accounting firms to participate in this process, including Grant Thornton LLP ("Grant Thornton"), the Company's independent registered public accounting firm for the fiscal year ended December 31, 2022.

As a result of this process, following the review and evaluation of proposals from participating firms, on March 24, 2023, the Committee approved the appointment of Deloitte & Touche LLP ("Deloitte") as the Company's independent registered public accounting firm for the fiscal year ending December 31, 2023, subject to completion of its standard client acceptance procedures and execution of an engagement letter. On the same date, the Committee approved the dismissal of Grant Thornton as the Company's independent registered public accounting firm.

Grant Thornton's reports on the Company's consolidated financial statements as of and for the fiscal years ended December 31, 2022 and 2021 did not contain any adverse opinion or disclaimer of opinion, nor were they qualified or modified as to uncertainty, audit scope, or accounting principles.

During the fiscal years ended December 31, 2022 and 2021, and the subsequent interim period through March 24, 2023, there were: (i) no disagreements within the meaning of Item 304(a)(1)(iv) of Regulation S-K between the Company and Grant Thornton on any matter of accounting principles or practices, financial statement disclosure, or auditing scope or procedure, which disagreements, if not resolved to Grant Thornton's satisfaction, would have caused Grant Thornton to make reference thereto in their reports; and (ii) no reportable events within the meaning of Item 304(a)(1)(v) of Regulation S-K.

The Company provided Grant Thornton with a copy of the foregoing disclosures and requested that Grant Thornton furnish a letter addressed to the Securities and Exchange Commission stating whether or not it agrees with the statements made herein. A copy of Grant Thornton's letter dated March 30, 2023, is filed as Exhibit 16.1 to this Current Report on Form 8-K.

During the fiscal years ended December 31, 2022 and 2021 and the subsequent interim period through March 24, 2023, neither the Company nor anyone on its behalf has consulted with Deloitte regarding: (i) the application of accounting principles to a specific transaction, either completed or proposed, or the type of audit opinion that might be rendered on the Company's financial statements, and neither a written report nor oral advice was provided to the Company that Deloitte concluded was an important factor considered by the Company in reaching a decision as to any accounting, auditing, or financial reporting issue; (ii) any matter that was the subject of a disagreement within the meaning of Item 304(a)(1)(iv) of Regulation S-K and the related instructions; or (iii) any reportable event within the meaning of Item 304(a)(1)(v) of Regulation S-K.
