Nothing is more irritable to a homeowner than realizing chewed pipes and wires or discovering an army of termites in your cupboard. However, there is no need to worry because that is what we exist for. For over 20 years, we have been providing pest and vermin control services to residential areas and commercial properties. The experience we have amassed over those years has helped us to position ourselves as the leading pest exterminators.
We take care of all forms of pests such as bedbugs, mosquitoes, and termites just to name a few. Our pest control company in Skagway AK has skillful and experienced professionals who offer 24/7 emergency services. If you require your property to be protected from future invasions or notice signs of an infestation, notify us immediately and our team will take care of your pest problem.
Our pest control services comprise several stages, each tailored to the client's needs.
The initial visit involves one of our well-trained exterminators inspecting the situation to see if there is already an infestation. The technician treats both the inside and outside of the building taking note of the hotspots and pests expected as per the environment and seasons. They will finally come up with a protection plan that is tailored to your household.
Our protection plan involves year-round pest control services to the premises ensuring you are not caught off guard. With adequate information collected in the initial stage, we provide treatments based on the four seasons, depending on the pest activities and changes they have adapted to. Retreatment of the property occurs every season, and we treat both outdoors and indoors to ensure you are protected from pests all year round. If pests make a comeback, contact us through our 24/7 emergency service, and we will treat your property.
We do these treatments according to the four seasons and the pest behaviours.
Since this is the breeding season, our treatment at this time prevents breading or cuts it short, ensuring there is no new infestation.
With the heat, pests are very active during summer. Our treatment at this time involves terminating the pests and securing the property from re-infestation.
Pests will most likely for a warm place as temperatures go down, which can be your home. Treatment during this time keeps them outside.
With the cold outside, pests may look for warmth inside your house during summer. Our summer treatment ensures your home is protected.
Bees are some of the most aggressive pests and can be dangerous if not handled well or provoked. One should never try to treat a bee infestation by themselves as there is a high risk of attacking. For such problems, contact our pest control company in Skagway AK on our 24/7 helpline, and we will sort it out without causing harm.
Just like the bees, wasps can be very aggressive and dangerous when provoked. They attack in groups, and the stings can be excruciating. The sting can also be a threat to the lives of those who are allergic. If you see a nest, it is best to contact us, and we will take care of the situation and scan for others on your property.
These are some of the most destructive pests to have in your home. Rodents like mice and rats can cause a huge as they can eat almost anything from foodstuffs to clothes, carpets and even the walls. To make matters worse, rodents also carry and transmit diseases and carry other pests like mites. Rodent problems require quick action to control.
Thanks to our experience and quality equipment, we won’t stop until pest infestations become a thing of the past in your life. We will be glad to relieve you from pest problems, no matter the condition.
To reduce carpenter ant attraction, fix leaks, replace moisture-damaged wood, improve drainage, and keep wood debris or firewood away from the structure. Carpenter ants are strongly drawn to damp, softened wood, especially around windows, decks, and trim.
To make your porch less attractive to wasps, clean sweet spills quickly, inspect corners and eaves regularly, remove old inactive nests, and reduce insect-attracting lights where possible. A porch that offers less food and fewer protected nest spots is usually less appealing.
To discourage wasps around patios and porches, clean up food and drink spills quickly, keep trash sealed, inspect eaves early for small nests, and avoid leaving sugary beverages uncovered outside. Early prevention is much easier than dealing with a developed nest later.
Rodents thrive where food and shelter are easy. Heavy garage clutter, open food storage, overflowing trash, and quiet storage zones all increase the chance that mice or rats stay active longer. That usually means more trapping, more monitoring, and more follow-up over time.
Seasonal pests like mosquitoes, wasps, ants, or overwintering bugs often need timing-based service rather than one isolated visit. If pressure is tied to weather cycles or repeated outdoor activity, follow-up frequency becomes part of the real cost picture.
When rodents are involved, treatment is often only part of the job. Exclusion work such as identifying and sealing access points can add time, materials, and complexity. In AK, the difference between “remove the mice” and “stop the mice from coming back” is often where pricing changes.
As the weather warms, boxelder bugs often emerge from overwintering spots and collect near sunny windows, siding, and indoor light sources. They are mostly a nuisance, but in numbers they are annoying enough to earn a file in your memory.
For light spring activity, vacuum them up instead of crushing them, because crushed bugs can stain and smell. Wipe window sills and frames with mild soap or vinegar water, and reduce easy entry points with simple caulking around screens or trim. Outdoors, trimming back nearby seed-bearing trees where practical may help reduce pressure over time. If swarms keep entering the same areas, Richard's Pest Control can inspect the structure and identify the likely access points.
Carpet beetles often become noticeable in spring as adults gather near windows and larvae continue feeding in fabrics, stored textiles, or lint-heavy areas. The adults are the visible part; the damage usually comes from the larvae.
For light activity, vacuum rugs, baseboards, closet edges, vents, and under furniture thoroughly. Wash or store sensitive fabrics properly, and reduce lint and pet hair buildup. Cedar storage or sealed bins can help protect vulnerable items. If beetle activity continues in multiple rooms or stored textiles show damage, Richard's Pest Control can help pinpoint the source around your Skagway property.
Earwigs often move indoors during damp spring weather, especially into bathrooms, laundry rooms, and lower-level spaces. They look dramatic, but in light numbers they are usually responding to moisture and hiding spots.
For mild activity, reduce dampness, ventilate bathrooms, wipe up water around tubs and sinks, and remove clutter near floors. Outdoors, avoid mulch piled directly against the house and reduce leaf litter near entry points. Rolled-up damp newspaper traps can sometimes help collect a few overnight. If earwigs keep turning up despite moisture control, Richard's Pest Control can help find where they are sheltering around your Skagway home.

Yes. Effective roach control usually requires inspection, targeted products, sanitation guidance, and follow-up. Results improve significantly when food, water, and hiding places are reduced behind appliances and under sinks.
Single sightings can happen, but repeated activity, droppings, unusual odors, new damage, or pests appearing in multiple rooms often indicates a larger issue. A professional inspection can confirm what is going on.
Yes. Many modern products are low-odor, and effective pest control also includes non-chemical measures like exclusion, sanitation, and moisture control. Ask Richard's Pest Control about an IPM-based approach.
Most standard services take about 20 to 60 minutes, depending on property size and the pest issue. Complex cases (rodents, termites, bed bugs) can take longer due to inspection and setup needs.
Bed bugs hitchhike on luggage, clothing, used furniture, and visitors. Cleanliness is not the cause. Early detection and rapid action reduce the scope and cost of treatment.
If pests are entering through several gaps, cracks, vents, utility lines, or roofline openings, the job becomes more complicated. More entry points usually mean more time spent finding the pattern, recommending fixes, and building a realistic long-term plan. Easy access for pests usually means more work for everyone else.
If a property has a history of repeat roaches, recurring rodents, or years of ant pressure, that usually changes the starting point. It often means prior treatments did not fully address the source. History helps explain why the job may need more than a basic visit this time.
Some pests reproduce faster, hide better, or respond less predictably to casual treatment. Others are easier to isolate and control. The combination of pest biology, structure conditions, and client habits often determines whether a job is simple or stubborn.
Early treatment usually means the pest activity is still localized. That often reduces labor, materials, and follow-up needs. Once pests spread into more rooms, more voids, or larger exterior zones, the treatment plan usually becomes broader and the final cost tends to rise with it.
Food residue, grease buildup, clutter, standing water, and neglected trash areas can keep feeding a pest problem even after treatment begins. When sanitation issues are strong, pest activity often rebounds faster, which can increase the need for follow-up and slow down the overall result.
