Fridley, Minn.-based Plunkett’s Pest Control has acquired Langman’s Wildlife & Pest Control, based in Terre Haute, Ind. Terms were not disclosed.

Langman’s provides full-service residential and commercial wildlife and pest services throughout Indiana and Eastern Illinois. With this acquisition, Plunkett’s boosts its service capacity in both states.

“What really impresses me about Langman’s is the way they work as a team,” third-generation President Stacy O’Reilly said in a news release. “Given the complexity and safety profile of wildlife work, we respect their selfless, team approach. We aspire to build that same camaraderie in every area in which we work.”

Wayne Langman started Langman’s Wildlife and Pest Control in the 1960s. With a reputation as an excellent fur trapper, locals started asking Wayne to assist with their pest problems. From there, the business grew. Wayne’s son, Will, and his wife, Dianne, assumed ownership in 2002.

“Being a family-owned business, we are thrilled about selling to another generational company that shares the same service values and commitments we do,” Will Langman said in the news release. “It’s easy to see that customers are No. 1 at Plunkett’s. Customers drive every decision with them, and that’s how we’ve operated. It makes us feel like we’re leaving our customers and our employees in good hands as we transition to focus solely on Pest-Blok, the other part of our business.”

Pest-Blok produces specialty exclusion products for wildlife and pest management.
