Paul and Jessica Winkelmann started their company Advanced Wildlife Control LLC in 1989. It was at that time the Department of Natural Resources (DNR) decided to get out of the problem wildlife removal business and let private firms do it all. Not only did the Winkelmanns feel that they were well suited for this type of endeavor, but this was also a chance to escape the uncertainty of working for someone else.
Once it was obvious that this type of service was well received and much needed in the area, our eldest daughter Stacy was quick to join the AWC. She earned a degree in biology from Concordia University in Mequon, WI and is very well-suited for our business. Stacy started off as a service technician and now is one of the full time secretaries on our staff.
The youngest Winkelmann, our son PJ, also graduated from Concordia University. PJ graduated with a Physical Education teaching degree and minors in health and wellness, coaching, and adaptive physical education. PJ found his interest in the exterminating portion of the company and now runs the pest control branch of the company. Our other daughter, Beth, and son-in-law, Larry, are both licensed technicians. Larry also helps us with large insulation removal jobs. Our other son-in-law, Tom, joined our company as a full time technician in 2014 after many years of being part time. Tom is a former graphic artist maintains our website (he created this website) and helps with our marketing department. Our daughter-in-law, Jenny, is a preschool teacher who is well versed in PowerPoint, Excel, and Word. She continues to help us with our computer work.
Advanced Wildlife Control, now operates under the names of Advanced Wildlife Control Inc. and Advanced Wildlife and Pest Control.
