Yale Pest Control (Yale Termite & Pest Elimination Corp.) is a family-owned pest management company founded in 1983 and headquartered at 69 Mott Street in Ansonia, Connecticut. The same family that started the business in 1983 still owns and operates it today, with technicians dispatched from the Ansonia headquarters covering Fairfield and New Haven counties and a second office in West Cornwall serving Litchfield County. That geographic coverage from two offices means locally based technicians serve each area rather than long-distance dispatch.
Services cover the full range of residential and commercial pest management: ants, bed bugs, rodents, termites, wildlife removal, cockroaches, wasps, mosquitoes, ticks, fleas, and other common pest categories in Connecticut’s climate. Wildlife removal is a service offered specifically from the Ansonia headquarters location, reflecting the added capability required for the Naugatuck River Valley’s wooded surroundings where wildlife pressure on residential properties is consistent year-round.
Yale operates under an Integrated Pest Management (IPM) framework, which prioritizes identifying and addressing root causes of pest activity rather than simply applying treatments to visible symptoms. This approach — endorsed by the National Pest Management Association, of which Yale is a member — emphasizes sustainable methods that are effective for the homeowner while being more responsible toward the broader environment, including household pets and people. All technicians are uniformed, background-checked, licensed by the state of Connecticut, and bonded and insured.
A distinctive operational feature at Yale is live phone answering during business hours — no phone trees, no call-back queues. A live representative picks up the call and can typically dispatch within the same service window. After-hours emergency service is also available with a premium charge for non-standard hours. Customer retention at Yale is notably high — the company reports that their regular-service clients stay an average of more than five years, with some homeowners having been customers for 30 or more years.
Technician training is ongoing and includes advanced education from Dr. Austin Frishman of A.M.F. Pest Management, a recognized expert in pest identification, treatment protocols, and IPM methods. Yale does not use contracts and does not charge hidden fees, with pricing that is disclosed transparently before service begins. For homeowners in Fairfield, New Haven, and Litchfield counties looking for a family-owned pest control company with a 40-year track record, no-contract service, and live phone support, Yale Pest Control represents one of the more established locally rooted options in the Connecticut market.
