Mill Pond Falls and Mill Pond Park
The waterfall shown in the hero photograph powered an 1860 sawmill and became so closely associated with Newington that it appears on the town seal.
Who We Serve
Certified K9 bed bug detection, rodent detection, and humane goose management for Newington homes, apartments, healthcare, businesses, and public properties.
Town Identity
Newington began as West Farms, an agricultural district of Wethersfield, and became an independent town in 1871. Mill Pond Falls, shown above and pictured on the town seal, once powered an 1860 sawmill that produced wooden pipe staves for barrel making. The falls remain the centerpiece of Mill Pond Park and Newington's annual Waterfall Festival. Today, the town combines established neighborhoods with apartments, schools, healthcare facilities, the Berlin Turnpike business corridor, and state transportation offices. Older homes, multifamily buildings, restaurants, medical properties, and commercial storage can conceal rodent or bed bug activity. Park lawns, ponds, and athletic fields may also attract Canada geese. Nutmeg K9 provides certified canine detection and humane goose management before treatment, exclusion, or prevention work begins.
