Delivering Quality Pest Control Services Since 1924

Wil-Kil Pest Control was founded in Milwaukee, Wisconsin in 1924. Wil-Kil’s founder, and original owner, was Henry Turrie. Mr. Turrie’s vision was to have Wil-Kil Pest Control earn the reputation of being the quality leader in the pest control industry. In striving toward that goal, he employed the simple philosophy of providing 100 percent customer satisfaction. Since then, Wil-Kil Pest Control has become the quality leader in pest control in the Midwest.

Our specialties lie in both residential and commercial pest control. We serve a wide range of industries including healthcare, manufacturing, and warehousing.

Integrated Pest Management (IPM)

IPM is an effective pest management approach that integrates many treatment tactics into a logical program to provide long-term solutions to pest problems – all while keeping the environment in mind. An IPM approach is not just dependent on one or two tactics to solve a pest management problem, but relies on the interactions of the many components to form a complete program. Some components of IPM include:

  • Education
  • Inspection
  • Pest exclusion
  • Pest trapping
  • Sanitation
  • Physical control
  • Pesticide applications
  • Mechanical control
  • Quality control
  • Documentation
