Narragansett Pest Control

How It All Started
1979, Jim and Peggy Siligato started Narragansett Pest Control as a family business. Jim, having a background in construction, building maintenance, and landscaping, and Peggy with a college background, teaching degree, and advanced specialization in plant sciences and entomology, all combined to provide the best pest preventive expertise.

It was a perfect match to start a business that would strive to provide the best service in Rhode Island. Our initial goal was to provide honest, dependable services using the safest methods that would provide long-term control of pests.

We did not desire to be the biggest company in the state, but to be the best.

By 1983, we were full time in business with employees providing services in Rhode Island, Connecticut, and Massachusetts. In 1984, the Surfing Rat was born. This was a logo created by artist Brother Michael Dundin of Narragansett, and later became a five foot rat character, a proud and friendly mascot, that can be spotted anywhere in the state.

Over the last 25 years, we have been fortunate to have super employees that have helped us carry out our quest to provide top-notch pest control services. Our employees have helped us build an outstanding business that is oriented toward safety, customer satisfaction, and quality work.

Growing Every Day
In 1999, we expanded the business with the acquisition of All Outdoors Power Equipment at our location at 4060 Tower Hill Rd. in South County, RI. Our goal was to provide an option to reduce pest problems through proper landscape maintenance. We found that most pest problems can be prevented through proper maintenance in the landscape, or around the home. Today, our two unique businesses are located in South County RI on US Route 1.
