His process and product were effective enough to found his own pest control business in 1918: called W.A. Flick & Co, later known as Flick Pest Control. Anticimex was then established in Sweden at 1934 during a time when approximately half of Swedish homes were infested with bed bugs. The company has offices in Australia, Austria, Belgium, Cambodia, Colombia, Denmark, Finland, France, Germany, Italy, Netherlands, New Zealand, Norway, Portugal, Singapore, Spain, Sweden, Switzerland, UK and US. From 2006 to 2012, the firm was owned by Ratos and listed on the Stockholm Stock Exchange. In most countries, the company is known from its original name "Anticimex"; in Australia and New Zealand it is known as "Flick". In 2012, Anticimex was sold to investor-owned EQT AB. The parent company is Anticimex International AB and the head office is located in Stockholm, Sweden.
