Inspect Before Treating
Technicians identify the pest and the activity level before selecting a treatment. You learn what was found, where it is coming from, and what the plan covers before any work starts.

Connecticut Pest Pros treats Lake Pocotopaug homes with inspections first, clear explanations, and follow-up built around the pest.
Technicians identify the pest and the activity level before selecting a treatment. You learn what was found, where it is coming from, and what the plan covers before any work starts.
Ten years of work in Connecticut homes taught us how older foundations, basements, and utility openings let pests inside. We know the seasonal pressures around the lake and plan treatments accordingly.

Every job follows the same path from first call to finished treatment.
Describe the Problem
You call and tell us what you are seeing, where, and for how long. We ask a few questions, note the details, and set an inspection time that works for your schedule.
Inspect and Identify
A technician checks the affected areas, confirms the pest, and locates entry points or activity sites. You get a clear explanation of what was found and a treatment plan before work begins.
Treat and Seal
The crew applies the agreed treatment and addresses entry points where appropriate. We tell you which areas to keep clear and how long children and pets should stay away during restricted entry periods.
Monitor and Follow Up
We schedule follow-up around the pest’s life cycle and check monitoring devices on return visits. You get a recommendation on timing so the treatment holds instead of fading after one pass.
Across pest control calls, the most common reasons people reach out are rodents, general pest control and ants.
A technician inspects the bedroom and mattress seams, confirms bed bug activity, and walks the owner through what a heat treatment involves before quoting the work. The property owner gets a written scope for the heat treatment and knows what prep is needed before the crew returns.
The crew inspects the basement and utility openings, finds where mice are getting in, and sets a treatment plan matched to the size of the activity. Entry points get addressed and follow-up is scheduled around the mice's breeding cycle so the problem does not rebuild.
A technician visits the building, inspects the affected unit and adjacent areas, and explains what treatment the level of activity requires. The owner receives a quote based on what the inspection actually found, not a guess over the phone.
Mouse droppings beneath kitchen cabinets mean rodents are feeding nearby at night. Check along cabinet kick plates and under the sink. Fresh, dark droppings point to active activity that will spread without treatment.
Mud tubes along the basement foundation are a termite warning. Termites build these pencil-width tunnels to travel between soil and wood. Breaking one open and finding live insects means it is time to call.
Cockroaches appearing near kitchen drains usually signal a breeding population inside wall or pipe voids. Seeing them in daylight often means the population has grown large enough to push them out of hiding.
Wasps entering through attic vents are likely nesting in the roof space. Watch the vent openings from outside at a distance. Steady traffic in and out means a nest is established and growing.
Warming soil wakes termites and ants around the lake. Spring is the right time to inspect foundations for mud tubes and swarmers before colonies establish inside wall voids.
Ticks thrive in the lakeside brush and end up on pets after yard visits. Summer treatments target the yard edges where ticks wait, plus wasp activity around attic vents and eaves.
Lake-effect breezes and cooling nights push rodents toward warm structures. Fall is when mice start probing foundations and utility lines, so sealing entry points now prevents a winter population.
Mice that moved in during the fall stay active inside walls all winter. Winter service targets the indoor population and the openings they used, while activity is concentrated and easier to track.
Ticks in the yard
Before: Ticks found on the dog after every yard visit
After: Yard edges treated and follow-up timed to the tick life cycle
Pesticide application in Connecticut requires DEEP licensing. Asking up front confirms the person treating your home is qualified to apply products legally and safely.
Some quotes cover one visit while others include follow-up. Knowing what is included helps you compare bids on the same scope instead of just the lowest number.
Most pests need follow-up timed to their life cycle. A provider who explains the visit schedule shows they are planning the job, not just selling a spray.
You may need to clear access to basements and attics, secure food and pet supplies, and keep children and pets away during restricted entry periods. Asking early avoids a rescheduled visit.
Get the follow-up and re-treatment terms in writing before work starts. Clear terms tell you what happens if activity continues after the initial treatment.

Nighttime scratching can point to rodent activity, but droppings, rub marks, and an inspection flashlight help confirm the pest and its travel routes. Mice can squeeze through gaps about 1/4 inch wide, so ask for entry-point inspection and exclusion recommendations alongside trapping.
Mouse treatment is commonly $150–$500, with the infestation size and need for follow-up affecting the estimate. A technician can inspect for droppings and entry points, then explain whether snap traps, a tamper-resistant bait station, exclusion, or a combination fits the problem.
Trapping removes rodents already inside, while exclusion blocks their entry; the two steps address different parts of the problem. Mice can use pencil-width gaps of about 1/4 inch, so have foundation joints and utility penetrations checked, especially after Connecticut freeze-thaw cycles.
Termite baiting systems monitor termite activity, while liquid termite treatment creates treated zones; the inspection findings help determine which method is appropriate. Look for termite mud tubes and arrange an inspection promptly, since termite swarms often emerge during spring.
Termite treatment is commonly $500–$2,500, with structure size and treatment method shaping the estimate. Ask for a written treatment plan that identifies the termite evidence, whether baiting or liquid treatment is proposed, and how monitoring or follow-up will work.
Arrange the inspection during the home-buying process and before your inspection contingency or closing deadlines, so there is time to review findings. The inspector can check for mud tubes and other visible evidence; spring is also when termite swarms often appear.
