MINNEAPOLIS, Minn. – Plunkett’s Pest Control announced its acquisition of Splat Pest Control, a locally owned and operated pest management company based in the Northwest Chicago area. The acquisition of Splat Pest Control marks another important step in Plunkett’s continued growth and strengthens its presence in the Illinois market, particularly in commercial pest control, the company said.
Aly Silva Mulgrew, president of Plunkett’s Pest Control, expressed her enthusiasm for the acquisition.
"We are thrilled to welcome Splat Pest Control to the Plunkett's family. Joe Kowlowski built a business grounded in strong customer relationships and high-quality service, values we deeply share," said Silva Mulgrew. "We’re excited to continue this standard of excellent service that Splat has provided for years to come.”
Splat Pest Control was founded in 1997 by Joe Kozlowski and has served the Northwest Chicago region for more than 25 years. With a strong emphasis on commercial pest control, Joe and his team earned a reputation for dependable-service, and a customer first approach. The company’s consistent dedication to its clients has made it a trusted name in the community.
“After running this company with just one other employee, I was looking for a successor that could handle our client base with care, without losing the personal touch. Plunkett’s is the perfect fit—not too big, not too small," said Kozlowski. "I appreciate their commitment to both customers and employees. While I’m looking forward to some well-earned time off, I know the door is always open with the Plunkett’s team.”
While Kozlowski and his colleague are stepping away from day-to-day operations, their legacy of customer care will live on. Plunkett’s is committed to ensuring a seamless transition and continuing to provide the reliable, high-quality service that Splat’s customers have come to expect—backed by more than a century of pest control expertise, the company said.
