"They seem to do a good job on the pest control. The treatments seem to be working. The technicians seem curteous. We have asked them to make morning appointments and they usually come in the afternoon. I feel they should have it in their system that we like to take the morning appointments."
"Went well. Took 2 treatments to eliminate hornets. Second hole was tough to get to, but Art did a good job eradicating the insects. Price seemed a bit high to me ($125), but perhaps that is reasonable for pest control."
"Very friendly tech came to examine our house. He was really late, but this did not matter - lost his way. The cost was way beyond what we are willing to pay for pest control (over $1000) but we do have a fairly problematic carpenter bee problem."

"Called at the end of October and made and appt for Oct. 28th. We were told that the price would be $200.00 but that they would offer us the coupon rate of $175.00 after asking if we had a coupon, which we didnt. We got a call from the office Friday the 28th stating that the technician scheduled to come out had to go to the hospital and could they reschedule. We told them sure, no problem. They reschedule with a date of Nov 1st at 12:00 pm and my husband verified time as he works the afternoon shift. He called me with time and date to mark the calendar. On Tuesday the 1st he called me around 1:00 at work and said they had not shown or called. I told him to call them and and see what was going on and that we would need to reschedule. He called and we were then told that they had Wednesday, Nov 2nd on their sheet or our appt.. He told them that he had been told the 1st and that it was too late that day anyway as he needed to get ready for work. They were due out around 11:00 or 11:30 on Wednesday. My husband called me again Wednesday when they were an hour or so late and I told him to call them again to see if they were on their way since he had to be at work by 3:00 and if they werent to just cancel and I would call someone else. He called them and was told they would be there soon. They did arrive and as far as their work, it was done timely and well and my husband said they were very professional and seemed to know what they were talking about. When it came time to pay the bill he told my husband it would be $200.00. Since we usually pay in cash we always have the correct amount for payment before anyone arrives. My husband told him that we were told $175.00. He asked if we had a coupon and my husband said not that he knew of and the tech stated that they sometimes give the coupon rate when booking the appt. so that would be fine. We understand that things happen beyond our control and we had no problem with the first appt cancellation but with the other problems with times and dates of appts and trying to schedule around to make sure my husband could be at work on time, we felt that follow ups and/or phone calls to let us know when someone is running late would have been the proper thing to do. I also feel that the coupon rate or any rate quoted to a client should have been noted somewhere on our paperwork so that there was no question as to the amount we were to pay."
"I have a contract with them so I have to use them again. It pays for itself eventually if you get good repair people. You don't control who they send."

Richlands homeowners increasingly favor pest control solutions like moisture barriers in crawl spaces, native landscaping to deter pests, and fine-mesh screens for vents and windows. Integrated pest management is popular, combining targeted bait stations for termites, rodent-proofing entry points, and pet-safe deterrents. Eco-friendly options, such as essential oil sprays and diatomaceous earth, are also trending for safer, long-term pest prevention.
Helpful?
For pest control in Richlands, keep a sturdy flashlight for attic and crawl space inspections, a caulk gun with weatherproof sealant for sealing gaps, and heavy-duty gloves for handling traps or chemicals. Stock diatomaceous earth, boric acid, and sticky traps for insect control, along with steel wool for rodent exclusion. A dehumidifier and weather stripping help manage moisture, a key factor in preventing pest infestations in Richlands’ climate.
Helpful?
In VA, immediate action is needed for termite swarms, active wasp nests near entryways, or rodent sightings indoors, as these can escalate quickly. Issues like minor ant trails or occasional spiders can be monitored. Spring is ideal for termite inspections, while fall is best for sealing entry points. Consider your home’s history and location to prioritize pest control tasks effectively.
Helpful?
In Richlands, signs like mud tubes on basement walls, piles of sawdust-like frass from carpenter ants, or gnawed insulation point to potential structural damage. Hollow-sounding wood, recurring rodent droppings, or persistent musty odors in crawl spaces also signal underlying moisture or pest issues. Addressing these early helps prevent extensive repairs and supports effective termite prevention and rodent exclusion.
Helpful?
In Richlands, be cautious of pest control quotes that lack detailed service descriptions or skip on-site inspections. Avoid providers who guarantee total pest elimination or pressure for immediate decisions. Reliable professionals explain their methods, outline plans for termite prevention and rodent exclusion, and provide local references. Comparing at least three quotes ensures you find a provider familiar with Richlands’ unique pest challenges.
