## The honest read

Primitive Pest Control's website describes exclusion-first pest control by Colin Markowich, who it says has over 10 years in the trade, and lists a service area that includes Bristol, Farmington, Plainville, Southington, Wolcott and West Hartford. It holds 5 stars from 13 Google ratings.

A recent customer said Collin took a last-second call and sprayed their garden for Red Lantern Flies, and that the flies were gone in a day. A recent customer said Colin used insecticide on an ant infestation and explained himself clearly. A recent customer said Colin first took a walk around the home with them, answered questions and explained the whys behind what was happening and what the solution was. A recent customer who hired Colin described him as an owner operator and said they will be using him for a maintenance program.

A 2026 customer with a mice infestation said other pest control specialists had offered temporary solutions, and that Primitive Pest Control closed off the areas they were entering. A 2026 customer with mice in an apartment said Colin came back multiple times to help and that they had been mice-free for weeks.

Connecticut lists its pesticide applicator licence, PMBR.05383, as active, held by Primitive Pest Control.

**Strengths:**
- Mouse entry points sealed — a 2026 customer said entry areas were closed off
- Garden spray — a recent customer said the flies were gone in a day
