Compass Pest Management, a leading pest control firm renowned for more than 25 years of dedicated service in Northeast Georgia and South Carolina, is proud to announce the acquisition of Putman Pest Management (PPM).

Putman Pest Management is a veteran-owned, trusted name in pest control and has served the Upstate of South Carolina for more than 20 years. It will be joining forces with Compass Pest Management, effective May 1.

PPM has faithfully served hundreds of residents and businesses in Greenville, Simpsonville, Taylors, Greer, Mauldin, and other neighboring areas. It has addressed diverse needs such as moisture control, termite remediation, pest and rodent management, among others.

Owners Richard Windsor and Marty Putman expressed their satisfaction with the unification after roughly a year of careful consideration. They will remain vigilant members in the Taylors branch as technicians and administrators, ensuring a seamless transition for their customers.

Windsor said they wanted to unite with a company that embraced Putman’s founding principles: providing excellent service and developing long-lasting relationships with their customers.

“My goal is to be a great resource to Compass after this acquisition,” Windsor said. “While our customers may see a couple of new faces on occasion, the service will remain the same. I’m looking forward to helping Compass expand its base while continuing to impact our communities with great service.”

Like Putman Pest Management, Compass Pest Management is a local, family-owned, Greenville firm that has served the Upstate for nearly three decades. When Compass President and Owner Philip Smith started Compass, his desire was to provide the finest service with care and excellence, just as Marty Putman and Richard Windsor did at Putman Pest Management.

Since its inception in 1995, Compass has upheld those core values and expanded its influence with branches in Greenville, Anderson, Cornelia, GA., and now Taylors, SC.

“Compass Pest Management is honored to announce the acquisition of Putman Pest Management in Taylors, SC.,” Smith said. “I’ve known Marty Putman and Richard Windsor for over 25 years. They’ve built a reputable business in the upstate of South Carolina, and we are delighted to have their staff become part of the Compass team.”

Smith said his desire is to strategically expand the Compass footprint and promote the Compass Pest Management brand along the I-85 corridor, one of America’s most sought-after regions to live and work.

Customers of Putman Pest Management can expect to see new and familiar faces, now under the Compass banner.

This acquisition gives Compass greater access north of Greenville while creating more route density in Greenville and better service response times for customers. For more information about Compass Pest Management, contact our team.
