Serving Richmond homeowners
Pest control in Richmond, Virginia
Richmond splits its pest problems by century. In the Fan and Church Hill, brick row houses with shared walls, English basements, and 120-year-old drain lines host the classics — American roaches out of the sewers, mice on the block-long superhighway of connected foundations, termites in original timber. Out in Short Pump and Chesterfield, it's new-construction pressure: ants and termites working fresh-graded, irrigated lots at the woods' edge. Both sit in Virginia's humid, termite-productive fall-line climate. Our Richmond technicians treat each vintage of house for what it actually is.
What Richmond homes are up against
Humid subtropical at the fall line of the James — hot sticky summers, mild winters, plenty of rain. Historic row houses in the Fan and Church Hill with shared walls and old brick foundations; sprawling newer suburbs in Short Pump and Chesterfield. The result is steady local pressure from the region's usual suspects:
- eastern subterranean termites
- odorous house ants
- American cockroaches in older drains
- mosquitoes along the James River lowlands
- camel crickets in basements
- rats and mice in the urban core
Year-round home protection
Richmond's humidity keeps household pests productive from March frost-out to Thanksgiving, and the city's housing spread — Fan row houses to Chesterfield cul-de-sacs — means no single pest playbook fits every home. Our Richmond home protection adapts to the structure: shared-wall urban houses get one strategy, wooded suburban lots another, and both get a maintained barrier through Virginia's long warm season.
- Whole-home initial service, interior and exterior
- Recurring exterior barrier treatments, every season
- Web and wasp-nest removal from eaves and entryways
- Interior treatment whenever you need it — just ask
- Free re-services between visits if pests return
- Written service report after every visit
Our services in Richmond
-
Rodent Control in Richmond
Catching mice isn't the hard part — keeping them out is. Real rodent control is removal plus exclusion: we find the entry points and seal them, permanently.
-
Termite Control in Richmond
Termites do their damage silently, hollowing wood from the inside. By the time you see evidence, the colony has usually been feeding for years — protection starts with a professional inspection.
-
Mosquito Control in Richmond
You shouldn't have to choose between your backyard and getting bitten. Season-long mosquito service targets where they rest and where they breed — not just where they fly.

General Pest Control questions from Richmond homeowners
Which areas of Richmond does Urbanex serve?
Our local Richmond team serves homeowners across the metro, including The Fan, Church Hill, Short Pump, Midlothian, Mechanicsville and surrounding communities.
What pests does the home protection plan cover?
The plan covers the common household invaders: ants, spiders, cockroaches, wasps, crickets, silverfish, millipedes, and mice, among others. Termites, mosquitoes, bed bugs, and German cockroach infestations are specialized services with their own treatment protocols and separate pricing — we'll tell you plainly if what you have needs one of those instead.
Do I need to be home for every service?
No. After the initial visit, recurring services focus on the exterior barrier, so most customers don't need to be home. If you'd like interior attention on any visit, let us know and we'll schedule it when you're there.
Is the treatment safe for kids and pets?
We use EPA-registered products applied by licensed technicians according to their labels, with targeted placement rather than blanket spraying. Your technician will tell you exactly what was applied, where, and any short re-entry intervals — typically just letting treated surfaces dry.
What if pests come back between visits?
We come back the same or next day, free. Re-services between scheduled visits are unlimited and included in the plan — no fine print, no per-trip charge.
