Services
Pest Control
Our annual general pest control treatment targets ants, cockroaches, spiders, and silverfish across residential properties. Technicians apply sprays, powders, and gel baits to internal and external areas, including roof voids and sub-floors. The service includes a 12-month warranty for ongoing protection against common pests.
Termite Inspection
Comprehensive termite inspections involve a 1.5-2 hour assessment of properties using advanced detection methods. Our licensed technicians identify active termite activity, damage, and conducive conditions, providing detailed reports and recommendations. Annual inspections are required to maintain termite management warranties.
Termite Treatment
We offer chemical soil treatments and baiting systems for long-term termite protection. Treatments target subterranean nests and include follow-up monitoring. Our methods address species like Coptotermes and Nasutitermes, with solutions for both existing infestations and preventive measures.
Ant Control
Specialist ant control addresses severe infestations, including funnel ants and fire ants. Our technicians use targeted baits and perimeter treatments to eliminate colonies. The service includes identifying entry points and implementing preventive strategies to avoid re-infestation.
Cockroach Control
Focused cockroach control targets German cockroach infestations through gel baiting and residual sprays. Treatments include thorough inspections of kitchens and hidden areas, with a 3-month warranty for follow-up treatments. Preventative advice is provided to reduce recurrence risks.

Report
We highly recommend the guys at Richards Pest Control. They have assisted us with finding termite nests in the ground that could have been a potential disaster for us. They treated them and installed a barrier around our house. We get them to inspect every 12 months and if we have any queries in between time, they always listen to our concerns and have no hesitation in checking on things for us. Great quality work ethic and they are easy to deal with. Wold have no hesitation in recommending for any type of pest inspection, treatment or problem. :)
