Who We Serve
Certified K9 bed bug detection, rodent detection, and humane goose management for East Haddam homes, businesses, and public properties.
Town Identity
East Haddam developed through Connecticut River commerce and the water-powered mills of Moodus, once a nationally important center for cotton twine and related manufacturing. The town later became known for its dramatic river crossing, preserved forests, and performing arts. The hero photograph shows the Goodspeed Opera House, built in 1876 beside the Connecticut River and now one of Connecticut's best-known theatrical landmarks. East Haddam also includes historic village homes, farms, seasonal lodging, schools, restaurants, wooded properties, and recreation around lakes and the river. Older structures and visitor activity can create hidden bed bug or rodent concerns, while waterfront lawns, parks, and athletic grounds may attract Canada geese. Nutmeg K9 provides accurate canine detection and humane goose management so local property owners can understand the problem before treatment, exclusion, or prevention begins.
