 Roaches are a serious threat to health and sanitation in Richmond VA homes. We specialize in eliminating the highly reproductive German Roach, which requires expert attention to remove from kitchens and bathrooms. Our service also targets large invaders like the American Roach and the Smokybrown Roach, along with the lesser-known, moisture-loving Brown-Banded Roach.  We also handle the seasonal nuisance of the Pennsylvania Wood Roach. Our licensed pest control team guarantees effective Richmond VA roach control, deploying strategic baits and growth regulators for complete eradication.

Spider Extermination


 Spider infestations in Richmond VA often involve common, harmless species like the messy cobweb-building House Spider, the long-legged Cellar Spider, and the large, ground-hunting Wolf Spider. However, safety is our primary concern, as Virginia is home to the dangerous Black Widow.  Though the Brown Recluse is rare in our area, misidentification is common, so professional inspection is key. We also manage outdoor Orb Weavers. Our tailored Richmond VA spider control service focuses on exclusion and web-sweeping, giving your family a guaranteed, web-free environment. 

Pest Control for Hornets

Hornet Extermination


Hornets pose a significant danger, especially to those with allergies. In Richmond VA, we frequently encounter two major threats: the aggressive Bald-faced Hornet, known for large, oval-shaped aerial nests, and the damaging European Hornet, which often nests in voids and hollow spaces near homes. Never attempt DIY nest removal. Our licensed Richmond VA pest control team provides rapid, safe, and guaranteed hornet and wasp nest removal. We eliminate the colony at its source and treat the area to prevent their return, offering immediate protection for your family and pets. 

Pest Control for Wasps

Wasp Extermination


The nuisance of stinging pests is a common concern in Richmond VA. We specialize in removing the highly common Paper Wasp, known for building small, umbrella-shaped nests under eaves and railings. While these wasps are generally not aggressive unless disturbed, their stings are painful. We also manage the large, intimidating Cicada Killer Wasp, which, despite its size, is rarely a threat to humans but can create damaging burrows in lawns and gardens. Our effective Richmond VA wasp control service includes complete nest treatment and preventative measures to protect your property safely and efficiently.

Mice Extermination


 Mice are notorious for causing damage and spreading disease in Richmond VA homes. The persistent House Mouse often seeks warmth and food indoors, while exterior invaders like Field Mice (Deer Mice) can gain access through surprisingly small gaps. Both species contaminate surfaces and chew through essential wiring. Our guaranteed Richmond VA mice control service begins with a comprehensive inspection to locate all entry points. We focus on expert exclusion—sealing access with professional materials—combined with safe trapping and monitoring to ensure these destructive and unsanitary rodents are permanently removed from your property. 

Pest Control for Rats

Rat Extermination


 Rats are a severe and highly destructive threat to properties in Richmond VA, demanding immediate professional attention. We manage both primary species found in the area: the large, ground-dwelling Norway Rat and the agile, climbing Roof Rat, which commonly infests attics and upper structures. Both species pose significant fire hazards by chewing through wires and transmitting serious diseases. Our specialized Richmond VA rat control and rodent removal service focuses on expert exclusion and targeted baiting to eliminate active populations and seal your structure against future intrusion, providing peace of mind.

Carpenter Bee Extermination


 Carpenter Bees are often mistaken for bumblebees but are identifiable by their smooth, shiny black abdomen. These solitary pests bore perfectly round holes into exposed wood—decks, eaves, and fascia—to lay their eggs, causing cumulative and costly structural damage over time in Richmond VA. We provide targeted treatment to eliminate the adult bees and protect vulnerable wood. Crucially, as a licensed pest control provider, we include detailed documentation of this activity in your WDI Inspection (Wood-Destroying Insect) report, ensuring your property is protected and compliant during real estate transactions.

Pest Control for Termites

Pest Control for Mosquitos & Ticks

Termite Extermination

 

Termites are the single greatest structural threat to homes in Richmond VA. The primary culprit is the common Eastern Subterranean Termite, which silently damages wood from underground via distinctive mud tubes.  While currently rare, we are vigilant against the highly aggressive, invasive Formosan Termite. Our licensed Richmond VA termite control provides comprehensive WDI inspections and advanced treatment solutions, including liquid barriers. We guarantee to eliminate the colony and provide a solid warranty, protecting your largest investment against these wood-destroying insects.

Mosquito Extermination


 Mosquitoes and Ticks are more than just a nuisance; they are vectors for serious diseases like West Nile Virus, Lyme Disease, and Rocky Mountain Spotted Fever, making seasonal yard treatment essential in Richmond VA. We reduce the population of biting mosquitoes by targeting breeding sites and treating perimeter foliage where they rest. For ticks, we focus on high-risk, wooded areas of your property. Our comprehensive, family-safe mosquito and tick control service is designed to reclaim your outdoor spaces, letting your family and pets enjoy your yard safely throughout the warmer months. 

Pest Control for Centipedes

Centipedes & Millipedes


 Finding a House Centipede or groups of Millipedes inside your home can be startling. These two pests are categorized as occasional invaders in the Richmond VA region, meaning they enter structures seeking shelter or moisture, rather than establishing a full infestation.  House Centipedes are fast-moving predators of other insects, while Millipedes feed on decaying organic matter. Our service focuses on exterior treatments and crucial moisture control strategies in basements and crawl spaces, eliminating the damp conditions that attract these unique, though generally harmless, pests indoors.

Cave Crickets


 Spider Crickets, commonly called Cave Crickets or Camel Crickets, are startling, high-jumping pests that thrive in dark, cool, and damp environments like basements, sheds, and crawl spaces across Richmond VA. They do not bite, but their presence is a nuisance, and their droppings can stain surfaces.  Since they are strongly tied to moisture, effective long-term control goes beyond simple sprays. Our strategy targets perimeter entry points and focuses on essential moisture control measures to eliminate the humid conditions that attract these unique, occasional invaders into your home environment.

How We Ensure Results from Pest Control in Richmond VA

Our Proactive 3-Zone Pest Control Process in Richmond VA

As a homeowner in Richmond VA, you deserve clear, effective pest control without unnecessary stress. While every property is unique—and we always tailor our approach to your specific home's needs—our proven system focuses on a straightforward, three-zone strategy designed to deliver guaranteed results and maximum rodent exclusion.

Our 14 years of industry experience allow us to simplify the process for you while maintaining the highest level of professional rigor. We stop pests by protecting your home from the roofline to the crawl space or basement.


Zone 1: The Exterior Barrier – Stopping Pests Before They Enter


This is the foundation of our Integrated Pest Management (IPM) service. By creating a multi-layered, non-stop defense around your property, we prevent common Richmond VA invaders like ants, spiders, and mice from ever crossing your threshold.

  • Foundation Treatment: We establish a long-lasting, protective barrier by treating your foundation wall two feet up and two feet out from the structure. This non-repellent with an IGR (Insect Growth Reguator) additive creates a crucial kill zone for insects and ensures reproduction stops.
  • Perimeter Granular Baiting: Just outside the liquid barrier, we strategically apply attractive granular baits. This prevents cross-contamination and targets outdoor pests, particularly ants and roaches, ensuring they pick up the product and carry it back to their colonies.
  • Web and Nest Removal: We remove all accessible spider webs and wasp nests on the first level of the home. We immediately treat those areas such as, eaves and gutter down spouts, applying a residual product to discourage spiders and wasps from returning.
  • Conducive Condition Reporting: As we treat, we perform a complimentary exterior inspection, scanning for conducive conditions, moisture issues, and all potential entry points in the foundation or around windows and doors.


Zone 2: The Interior Living Areas – Targeted, Discreet Treatment


Interior treatment is about precision and safety. We never broadly spray living areas. Instead, we use highly targeted products placed discreetly to eliminate pests and stop new ones from entering, all while keeping products out of your family’s view.

  • Crack and Crevice Treatments: We apply a repellent product to baseboards and potential access points, creating an invisible, lasting barrier that stops pests at the source.
  • Strategic Glue Board Placement: Glue boards are placed out of view (e.g., behind appliances, inside utility closets) to monitor pest activity and intercept invaders before they reach your living spaces.
  • Targeted Baiting: For specific issues like roaches, we use advanced baits precisely placed within cabinets and other hidden areas of kitchens and bathrooms.
  • Rodent Exclusion: If mice or rats are active or to prevent future issues, we work to close accessible entry points found in kitchen cabinets, utility closets and various other places.


Zone 3: Crawl Spaces & Attics (As Needed) – Moisture and Rodent Control


The structural voids of your home—the crawl space and the attic—are where many pest problems begin. We treat these areas to address the conditions that attract pests in the first place.

  • Power Treatment for Voids: Depending on the home's needs, we may "power treat" the crawl space foundation walls and support pillars using a gas-powered skid sprayer, creating a deep, lasting barrier against roaches, centipedes, etc.
  • Discreet Baiting: Alternatively, we use specialized granular baits placed in corners and along foundation walls to avoid contact with poly vapor barriers, protecting against moisture pests like millipedes and spider crickets.
  • Moisture and Ventilation Assessment: We look for conducive conditions that attract pests, such as standing water or inadequate ventilation, which are critical to sucessful long-term Richmond VA pest control.


This systematic, three-zone approach is why we consistently resolve pest problems. We address current activity and eliminate the root causes, providing guaranteed pest control that gives you back your peace of mind.
