Family-owned since 1974, Richland serves Connecticut and parts of Western Massachusetts with honest guidance, licensed technicians, and service that stands behind every visit.
Years of Trusted Service
Richland Pest & Bee Control was founded in 1974 by Rick Sarnese. What began as a small local operation has grown into one of Connecticut’s longest-running family-owned pest control companies, now serving communities statewide and into Western Massachusetts.
Today, the second generation carries that reputation forward with the same focus: tell customers the truth, recommend only what they need, and get the work right.
These principles guide every recommendation, treatment plan, and follow-up visit.
We focus on the genuinely correct outcome for the customer, not on defending a quick answer.
No unnecessary contracts, pressure, or services that are not in your best interest.
Clean uniforms, careful work, clear communication, and a tidy space when we leave.
Treatment plans are selected with families, pets, preparation, and responsible application in mind.
Ongoing in-house and advanced specialty training keeps our technicians prepared for difficult work.
Covered plans include follow-up treatments at no additional charge during the coverage period.
We will not pressure you into unnecessary contracts or services. Every property gets a thoughtful assessment, a clear plan, and honest expectations about what the service can achieve. When a covered pest returns during the coverage period, we come back and re-treat at no additional charge.
Built by the Sarnese family and carried forward by a trained local team.
Richland Pest & Bee Control was founded in 1974 by Rick Sarnese, whose commitment to dependable work established the company’s reputation across Connecticut. As the business grew from a few towns to statewide service and parts of Western Massachusetts, the family kept the same standards at the center of every job: honest communication, thorough service, and personal accountability. Today, the second generation leads a team of licensed technicians, office professionals, and specialty crews trained in general pest control, rodents, wildlife, exclusion, stinging insects, termites, and home services.
Richland occupies a rare position in Connecticut: large enough to bring deep training, specialized crews, and the equipment required for difficult work, while remaining family-owned and personally accountable.
We tailor each program to the structure, pest biology, season, and customer’s priorities. That approach supports everything from everyday ant and rodent service to high-access stinging-insect work, premium exclusion, wildlife management, and termite protection.
For more than five decades, Connecticut families and organizations have trusted Richland for straightforward guidance and dependable service. Our team combines local accountability with the training and capability to handle both everyday pest problems and complex property-protection work.
