Pure Home Pest connects Enfield homeowners with independent providers, serving a town that once supplied nearly half the Union Army's gunpowder.
Call (844) 924-1337Enfield's most industrial chapter began in 1835, when Allen Loomis founded a gunpowder mill on the Scantic River in an area called Powder Hollow. Colonel Augustus George Hazard bought in in 1837 and took control by 1843, renaming it the Hazard Powder Company and giving Hazardville, the mill village around it, his name. By 1864 the mills ran around the clock with about 300 workers across roughly 100 acres, producing near 12,000 pounds of powder daily, an output that supplied an estimated 40 percent of the Union Army's usage and trailed only DuPont nationally. Railroads refused to carry gunpowder, so it shipped out by flatboat down the Connecticut River to Hartford instead. DuPont took majority control after Hazard's death in 1868. The Enfield Shakers built their own national business, selling packaged garden seed across the country through much of the 1800s. Enfield's history holds one more twist: Massachusetts named and incorporated the town in 1683, and it only became part of Connecticut in 1749, once a boundary dispute was settled. That layered history left a mix of old mill buildings and residential blocks worth accounting for in any pest inspection.
Enfield's nineteenth century powder mills and Shaker seed houses are long gone, but any provider working on a property in town today still needs the right state credential. Connecticut regulates pesticide applicators through the Department of Energy and Environmental Protection's Pesticide Management Program under Connecticut General Statutes Chapter 441, section 22a-54. Commercial applicators fall into two classes: supervisory, who decide whether pesticides are used and how, and may purchase restricted use products from a registered dealer, and operational, who apply pesticides commercially but cannot purchase restricted use products or go into business independently. Every company must have a certified supervisory applicator either on site or providing specific written instructions, and an operator may not perform any treatment the instructions do not cover without first getting new ones. Applicants must be at least 18. A separate arborist license is required for tree care work. Call (844) 924-1337 and we can point you toward a provider who covers Enfield.
