Pure Home Pest connects Greenwich homeowners with independent providers, serving the ground a Continental general rode down to escape the British in 1779.
Call (844) 924-1337Greenwich's Horseneck district has carried that name since the town's first settlement in 1640, and it was there, at Knapp's Tavern, that the Revolutionary War produced one of Connecticut's more memorable episodes. On February 26, 1779, the account that has come down locally holds that 61-year-old Continental general Israel Putnam, known to his men as Old Put, was at the tavern when British cavalry rode in. His force, badly outnumbered, scattered, and Putnam himself was cut off from them. What most versions agree on is that he sent his horse down a steep, rocky slope below a nearby church, cut with crude steps, and rode clear of his pursuers toward Stamford to raise reinforcements. A Daughters of the American Revolution monument, placed in 1900 near that spot, marks it today, and Knapp's Tavern itself survives as Putnam Cottage, a building the general only stayed in rather than owned. That layered history, an 1640 settlement and a Revolutionary War landmark tied to one district, gives Greenwich's older Horseneck-area homes a different starting point for pest pressure than its newer construction.
Horseneck's colonial-era buildings sit alongside Greenwich's newer construction across town, and any provider working on either kind of property needs the right state credential for the job. 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 Greenwich.
