We are pleased to announce that Founder of the company, Jon Quint, is pretty much retired and the business has been turned over to my grandson, Jordan Hill. He has been working with me for over three years and is quite capable of handing anything pests may throw at him. I am still available to talk to customers, and provide consultation to Jordan. The company is in good hands. Thank you for all your business over the last 25 years or so, and I hope we can continue to serve you.

Our philosophy is to use IPM (Integrated Pest Management) as much as possible, as few pesticides as possible, and to handle wildlife in the most humane way possible, while always abiding by state laws. We do not do monthly, or quarterly contracts, unless requested, because they are unnecessary and result in unneeded pesticides being spread into the environment. We will give a guarantee for a certain period of time in most cases, depending on what the problem was. We have tried to make this web site as informative and educational as possible. We hope it helps you and you will contact us if you have a problem, or want more information.
We come from the old school of customer service. We return phone calls, answer your questions, show up on time, and will return at no additional charge, until you are satisfied. We believe in "The Golden Rule"!
God bless our military!

Snakes
Snakes are extremely beneficial, and are not a threat to anyone. They won't attack you, or chase you!
PLEASE, DON'T KILL THEM.
Give us a call, and we will remove and relocate them for you, if possible, or give you more information about them.
These five snakes are the most common in Connecticut
Eastern Gartersnake
Milk snake
Three light yellow or white stripes running the length of the body; dark body with whitish flecks in a checkerboard pattern.
"Y" or "V"shaped mark on top of head. Whitish gray body with reddish brown and tan blotches with black borders. Black and white checkerboard pattern on the belly.
Northern Watersnake
Body color darkish gray or black with alternating faint bands of brown or gray; banding more visible in young. Cream colored belly patterned with reddish-brown crescent half moon shapes. This snake is NOT a Water moccasin or Cottonmouth and is not venomous.
Northern Ring necked Snake
Dull blue gray or black body; yellow neck ring; bright yellow belly.
Smooth Greensnake
Brilliant green color, thin body.
Northern Copperhead
These two snakes are the only venomous snakes in CT, and are extremely rare, and very rarely seen. They are not aggressive, and will lie quietly while you pass by merely a few feet away!
Copper colored body with brown or reddish bands wide on the sides and narrow on the back. Head is much wider than neck.
Timber Rattlesnake
Rattle at the end of tail; head wider than neck; large stocky brown, black, or yellow body with dark "V" shaped bands
Other Connecticut Snakes:
These snakes are very uncommon and are rarely seen.
Eastern Wormsnake
Eastern Ribbon Snake
Northern Black Racer
Eastern Hog-nosed snake
These used to be called "puff adders" because of their habit of raisng their head and neck when threatened, flattening their neck like a cobra, and opening their mouth and hissing. If that fails, they roll over on their back and play dead. If you roll them over, they will roll back over on their backs! I challenge anyone to get one of these to bite them. It won't happen!
Northern Red bellied Snake
Northern Brownsnake
Black Rat Snake
