East Hampton first grew through shipbuilding in Middle Haddam and later became a national center of bell manufacturing. Bevin Brothers Manufacturing Company, known today for Bevin Bells, was founded in 1832 and remains the town's surviving bell maker. Its long history of producing sleigh bells, handbells, house bells, and other specialty bells helped earn East Hampton its “Belltown” identity. The Lake Pocotopaug waterfront shown above represents another defining part of town, surrounded by homes, cottages, beaches, parks, and recreation properties. Historic mills, older buildings, lake houses, storage areas, and wooded edges can conceal rodent activity, while occupied properties may need discreet bed bug detection. Lakeside lawns may also attract Canada geese. Nutmeg K9 provides accurate canine detection and humane goose management before treatment or prevention work begins.
