We handle all insect, rodent problems, and wildlife removal. We specialize in wasps, yellow jackets and hornets. We are A+ rated by the better business bureau and have been in business for over 20 years. We come from the "old school". We return phone calls, show up on time (we have a nasty habit of being early), and are not satisfied until you are. We live by the "Golden Rule". We treat our customers the way we want to be treated. As the old saying goes "Try us, you'll like us. I graduated from the University of Connecticut in 1964, with a major in Geology, and a minor in biology. I never used my major, but went to work in Corporate America, where I worked for 30+ years doing Production Control work at several different companies. I got laid off in 1992, and was out of work for a year and a half, got another job, and was laid off again after four months. At that point, I decided I wasn't going to be doing that anymore, so I started doing odd jobs and got a job delivering newspapers, so I could pay the bills. I had gotten into keeping honey bees in 1986, and one of the things I did was remove honey bee hives live from buildings. I started getting calls from people in late summer saying they had honey bees, could I come take them out. I would show up and find out they had yellow jackets, which are totally different from honey bees, and don't make honey, or pollinate flowers. I had to tell the people I coudn't help them, because I wasn't licensed to kill them. It only took about two if these calls to get that little light bulb to come on over my head. I asked myself "Well, silly, why don't you go get your license". So I did! After getting my license, I talked to a friend I used to work with, who had also got into the pest control business, and he suggested I also get my Nuisance Wlidlife Control License. I figured that since I had hunted, fished, and trapped for a good part of my life that I would. Got that license with very little trouble because of my background. My stepson joined the business about five years ago, and is now completely licensed and trained. He operates out of the Litchfield, CT area, because he lives in Bantam, CT. He is perfectly capable of handling any problem on his own. So here I am today, with 20+ years under my belt, and a fairly successful business. I enjoy helping people solve their pest problems. I treat my customers the way I would want to be treated and one of my big "things" is educating customers. There is so much wrong information, and a total lack of information out in the public regarding pests, that I do my best to give people the correct information, and they are surprised to learn that a lot of times there is really nothing that has to done!
