Wil-Kil Pest Control Company

What Wil-Kil Pest Control Company does

Wil-Kil Pest Control Company is a Wisconsin-headquartered, privately held pest management operator founded in 1924 in Milwaukee and now based in Sun Prairie. The company delivers Integrated Pest Management (IPM) services — combining inspection, pest identification, exclusion, targeted treatment, sanitation, and ongoing monitoring — to residential homeowners and commercial accounts across the Upper Midwest, with four branch offices covering Madison, Appleton, Chippewa Falls, Menomonee Falls, and Milwaukee. Its core residential offering is the PestFree365 subscription plan (covering 25 common pests with three annual multipoint inspections) and an upgraded PestFree365+ tier adding 14 specialized pests, supplemented by one-time services and specialty work such as bed bug heat treatment (120°F thermal remediation) and NESDCA-certified canine detection (97–98% accuracy). Commercial services span healthcare, food processing, manufacturing, warehousing, hospitality, retail, multi-unit housing, and education, with industry-specific programs, pre-audit IPM, fumigation, Disinfectix disinfecting, bird and fly control, and stored-product pest management.

Revenue mechanics combine recurring monthly-billed subscriptions with one-time treatments and commercial contracts, distributed through direct field service, online scheduling via a Terminix-branded portal, phone, and SMS. The company employs 251–500 staff, including over 20 Associate Certified Entomologists, 2 Board Certified Entomologists, and 50+ WPCA Master Technicians, supported by an in-house Wil-Kil Pest Control University training program. Wil-Kil is a wholly-owned subsidiary of Copesan Services, Inc. (a division of Terminix Commercial), and in 2024 formally joined forces with Terminix — now part of the Rentokil Terminix family of companies — under the Terminix Wil-Kil brand, while continuing to serve Wisconsin with its local technician base.
