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.

Some components of IPM include:

  • Education
  • Inspection
  • Pest exclusion
  • Pest trapping
