Our pest control services are quick, safe and effective since we understand various pests and responsive extermination solutions. We offer extermination services on rats, mice, bugs, flies, cockroaches, ants and birds.
Here is how our quarterly pest control service works:
Our friendly technicians will examine your home from the ceilings to the walls and cabinets to uncover nesting areas for critters. We can quickly identify their hiding areas and nesting places. We will also examine your garage and the yard to identify entry points in and out of your house. From the initial assessment, our experts will develop a customised protection plan.
Since pest infestation happens throughout the year, our experts will develop a plan that protects in all seasons. Based on the pest activities in every season, we can provide control measures to pest-proof your home.
After developing a full-year plan, our technicians will visit your home or business premises four times during the year for treatment. The visit happens during summer, spring, autumn and winter to prevent infestation. The most important visit is during spring, which is the breeding season for most pests.
Our pest control company in Universal IN is experienced with handling all types of pests. Some of the pests that we exterminate include:
Of all pests, termites are the most damaging and costly pests. These insects feed on the organic fibrous matter in plants and wood which means that they can literally feed on your house. This means that they need to be exterminated as soon as they are spotted. Notify us immediately you see them, and we will get rid of them safely and effectively from your property.
Bedbugs are tiny, oval-shaped insects that depend on human or animal blood for survival. Even if bedbugs can't fly, they can move swiftly over walls, ceilings, and floors. They reproduce rapidly and due to their flattened bodies, they can hide in tiny spaces. We are experienced in getting rid of bedbugs on a domestic scale as well as on a commercial scale.
Mosquitoes are infamously known to be carriers of diseases like malaria. These bloodsuckers reproduce fast which means that they can get out of control easily. Completely eliminating mosquitoes requires professional help because most DIY treatments do not eradicate mosquitoes at each stage of their lifecycle. Contact us today and your mosquito problem will be taken care of.
To keep firewood from attracting pests, store it off the ground and away from the house, and avoid bringing in more wood than you plan to use quickly. Firewood stacked against the structure is a classic shelter zone for ants, spiders, rodents, and more.
To reduce rodent activity in garages, store pet food and birdseed in sealed bins, remove clutter along walls, inspect garage door corners for gaps, and avoid leaving trash or food residue nearby. Garages often become the first stop before rodents move deeper into the home.
To make window areas less attractive to overwintering pests, repair screens, seal trim gaps, and keep sills and tracks clean. Many nuisance insects in IN first gather at warm sunny windows before moving deeper into the house.
Good sanitation does not make a home magically pest-proof, but it often reduces the intensity and persistence of many problems. When food, moisture, and clutter are controlled well, treatment tends to hold better and follow-up demand may stay lower over time.
Not every small bug is the same problem. Correct identification affects everything from treatment method to follow-up schedule to expected difficulty. That is why real pest control pricing often depends on what the pest actually is, not just what it looked like from across the room.
No two pest problems are exactly alike. Property size, pest type, severity, follow-up frequency, entry points, and sanitation issues all change the scope. That is why serious pricing is usually built case by case rather than pulled from a generic flat-rate fantasy.
Millipedes often come inside during wet spring conditions, especially through door gaps, garages, and basement edges. They are usually a moisture-driven nuisance rather than a true indoor infestation.
For light activity, reduce dampness near the foundation, clear leaf litter and mulch away from the exterior wall, and use door sweeps where needed. Indoors, vacuum visible millipedes rather than crushing them. The goal is to make the exterior less damp and the interior less accessible. If they keep entering after rain in Universal, Richard's Pest Control can help identify the main harborage 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.
As temperatures rise, fruit flies find overripe fruit, damp sponges, recycling bins, and forgotten drink residue faster than most humans find their keys.
For light spring activity, remove ripe fruit from counters, rinse bottles and cans before storing them, clean the trash area, and replace damp kitchen sponges. A simple apple-cider-vinegar trap can catch adults, but it only helps if the breeding source is removed. Check under appliances and inside recycling bins too. If the problem keeps resetting every few days, Richard's Pest Control can help determine whether it is fruit flies, drain flies, or another small fly issue in Universal, IN.
In spring, moisture is one of the biggest pest magnets in IN. Watch for these five issues:

Frequency depends on pest pressure, property conditions, and your goals. Many homeowners choose monthly, bi-monthly, or quarterly service for prevention, with adjustments for seasonal peaks.
Yes. Food-focused environments need strong sanitation alignment, monitoring, and clear records. We can set up a plan designed to reduce pest pressure while supporting compliance and operational needs.
Policies vary, but good practice is simple: give notice as early as possible so the route can be adjusted. Richard's Pest Control can confirm current scheduling policies when you book your appointment.

Droppings, scratching sounds in walls or ceilings, gnaw marks, greasy rub marks along baseboards, and shredded nesting material. If rodents are seen during daylight, activity may be significant.
Pests stay longer where food, water, shelter, and clutter stay available. Poor housekeeping does not create every pest problem, but it often makes the environment more forgiving for pests. That can turn a one-step service into a longer, more expensive control process.
Commercial spaces usually have different risk patterns, sanitation demands, traffic volume, and structural layouts than homes. A restaurant kitchen, warehouse, office, or retail space may need a more structured plan, more documentation, or more frequent visits than a typical residential property.
Recurring infestations often mean the original driver was never fully removed. That could be missed entry points, hidden nesting, sanitation problems, exterior harborage, or untreated adjacent areas. When a problem keeps coming back, more diagnostic work is usually needed before the right solution can hold.
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.
Rodent jobs often involve more than just removing activity. They also require inspection of entry points, trap placement, monitoring, sanitation guidance, and sometimes exclusion planning. In Universal, the long-term solution usually depends on stopping access, not just catching what is already inside.
