Our experts will uphold the highest health and safety standards and exterminate the pest with minimal business disruption.

Our Proven Pest Control Concept

Our pest control services comprise several stages, each tailored to the client's needs.

The initial visit to the premises

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.

We guarantee our services all year round

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.

4 treatments per year

We do these treatments according to the four seasons and the pest behaviours.

Spring

Since this is the breeding season, our treatment at this time prevents breading or cuts it short, ensuring there is no new infestation.

Summer

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.

Fall

Pests will most likely for a warm place as temperatures go down, which can be your home. Treatment during this time keeps them outside.

Winter

With the cold outside, pests may look for warmth inside your house during summer. Our summer treatment ensures your home is protected.

Common pests we come across

mice

Bees

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 Selma IN on our 24/7 helpline, and we will sort it out without causing harm.

Wasps

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.

Rodents (rats and mice)

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.

Prevention tips

How to reduce stink bug entry in cooler months

To reduce stink bug entry in cooler months, inspect screens, seal window and siding gaps, and check attic vents and soffit lines for openings. Stink bugs often gather outside before slipping in through very small structural gaps.

How to make your yard less attractive to mosquitoes

To make your yard less attractive to mosquitoes, reduce standing water, trim dense vegetation, refresh decorative water features often, and improve airflow around seating areas. Small hidden water sources are one of the biggest mosquito drivers in IN.

How to keep rodents out of sheds and storage buildings

To keep rodents out of sheds and storage buildings, seal gaps at the base and roofline, store seed and pet food in hard containers, and reduce clutter where mice or rats can nest. Outdoor storage areas often become staging points before rodents move toward the house.

Cost drivers

Why sanitation and clutter often increase rodent costs

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.

Why repeat infestations can cost more over time

If a pest problem keeps coming back, the total cost often increases because the original driver was never fully removed. That could mean missed entry points, untreated source areas, ongoing sanitation issues, or untreated adjacent zones. Repeat infestations rarely stay cheap forever.

How crawl spaces and attics affect labor and pricing

Attics and crawl spaces increase the difficulty of a job fast. They can be hot, cramped, dusty, or hard to access, and they often hide the real source of rodents, insects, or moisture-related activity. More difficult access usually means more technician time and more careful inspection work.

Spring problems in Selma

Carpenter bees drill into exposed wood

Carpenter bees often return in spring to untreated or weathered wood around decks, fascia boards, railings, and sheds. You may notice neat round holes and hovering bees inspecting the same area repeatedly.

For mild activity, keep exposed wood painted or sealed, inspect for new holes early, and reduce attraction by maintaining older wood surfaces. Hanging small decoy items or using citrus-based sprays on non-sensitive exterior wood may discourage some activity, but maintenance is the more reliable step. If new holes keep appearing or the same trim is repeatedly targeted, Richard's Pest Control can help assess the extent of the issue in Selma, IN.

Silverfish appear in bathrooms, closets, or storage boxes

Silverfish often become more visible in spring where humidity remains high. Bathrooms, basements, closets, and stored paper or cardboard are typical trouble spots.

For a light infestation, lower humidity, improve airflow, reduce stacks of cardboard, and vacuum baseboards and shelf corners. Cedar, dry bay leaves, or sachets placed in closets can help as mild deterrents, and sticky traps can help monitor whether the activity is actually increasing. If silverfish keep turning up in multiple rooms, Richard's Pest Control can help identify the moisture source and pressure points in IN.

Cockroaches begin showing up in warm, humid areas

Spring warmth can increase cockroach activity, especially in kitchens, utility areas, and around hidden moisture sources. A light infestation usually starts with occasional sightings at night rather than daytime chaos.

For mild activity, remove food crumbs nightly, dry sinks, fix leaks, vacuum under appliances, and reduce cardboard storage. Sticky monitors can help determine whether the issue is getting worse or just starting. Cleanliness alone does not solve every roach problem, but for low-level activity it matters a lot. If you see repeated sightings or daytime roaches, skip the optimism and call Richard's Pest Control for a proper inspection in IN.

FAQs

What areas do you service?

Richard's Pest Control provides pest control in Selma and surrounding communities across IN. If you’re unsure whether you’re in our service area, contact us and we’ll confirm quickly.

Do you treat fleas in homes and yards?

Yes. Successful flea control typically requires treating the environment and coordinating pet treatment with a veterinarian. Since fleas have multiple life stages, follow-up and thorough vacuuming/laundry are often necessary.

Will treatment leave an odor or stains?

Most modern products are low-odor when applied correctly. We avoid staining sensitive surfaces and focus on crack-and-crevice or targeted areas. If you have specific concerns, tell us before service.

How do I choose a good pest control company?

Look for clear inspection practices, transparent pricing, strong prevention focus (exclusion and sanitation), and documented follow-up policies. Ask what is included, how results are measured, and what support exists between visits.

Do you handle mice and rats?

Yes. Rodent control works best with exclusion first (sealing entry points), then trapping/monitoring and sanitation. We also advise on typical entry locations like utility penetrations and garage door gaps.

Pricing FAQ

Why do attic and insulation problems increase rodent-control cost?

Attic rodent activity often involves insulation disturbance, scattered droppings, multiple travel paths, and hidden access points. That turns the job into more than just trapping. It often requires careful evaluation of how the rodents are moving, where they are nesting, and what needs to change to keep them out.

Why does exterior perimeter size matter?

Exterior perimeter matters because it changes how much structure must be inspected and protected. For barrier treatments, ant control, spider reduction, or rodent pressure around the building, a larger perimeter often means more labor and material use.

Why do wasp or yellow jacket jobs sometimes vary in price?

The location of the nest matters a lot. A small visible paper wasp nest in an easy spot is very different from yellow jackets in the ground or a hidden nest inside a wall or roof void. Access, safety, and the level of nest activity all influence the final cost.

Why can a clean home still have a higher quote?

A clean home can still have structural issues, hidden entry points, attic activity, exterior harborage, or difficult pest biology. Cleanliness helps, but it does not eliminate risk. In some cases, a very tidy home still needs a larger treatment plan because the source is architectural or external.

Why do problem histories matter when pricing a service?

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.
