Termite Control in Richmond, VA
Termites are a serious threat to homes throughout Richmond and Central Virginia. Our region’s moisture-rich soil, older housing stock, and long warm seasons create ideal conditions for subterranean termites to thrive—often unnoticed until costly damage has already occurred.
RichPro Pest Control provides professional termite inspections, treatment, and long-term prevention plans designed to eliminate active infestations and protect your home for years to come.
Our Termite Control Process
We believe termite control should be clear, thorough, and never rushed. Here’s what you can expect when you work with RichPro:
- In-Person Termite Inspection: We schedule an on-site inspection to assess current termite activity, risk factors, and the construction of your home.
- Customized Treatment Recommendation: Based on our findings, we recommend the most effective solution, liquid treatment, baiting system, or a combination, tailored to your property.
- On-Site Quote & Follow-Up: You’ll receive a quote during the inspection, followed by a written service agreement emailed for review. If a decision isn’t made immediately, we’ll follow up by phone or email.
- Professional Treatment Application: Once approved, we schedule a separate appointment for treatment. Our trained technicians apply the selected solution with precision and care.
- Ongoing Protection & Monitoring (If Enrolled): Recurring plan customers receive scheduled inspections, monitoring, and preventative maintenance to keep termites from returning.
Our Termite Control Services in Richmond, VA
We offer both one-time termite treatments and ongoing protection plans, depending on your home, construction type, and level of risk.
Termite Defender Service Plan (Recurring Protection)
Our most comprehensive option, the Termite Defender Plan, is designed for homeowners who want year-round peace of mind. This plan includes:
- Annual on-site termite inspection
A thorough inspection of your home and property to check for termite activity and conditions that attract termites. - Remediation guarantee
If termite activity is discovered that requires additional treatment, RichPro will re-treat the affected area at no additional cost. - Preventative treatment schedule
- With Termidor® liquid treatment, we perform a booster application every 5 years to maintain protective levels in the soil—at no extra charge.
- With the Sentricon® Bait System, we monitor and maintain bait stations annually to ensure continuous protection.
This plan is ideal for Richmond-area homeowners looking for long-term defense against termite reinfestation.
One-Time Termite Treatment
For homeowners addressing a current issue or preparing to sell a home, we also offer one-time termite treatments using industry-leading products such as:
- Termidor® SC (liquid soil treatment)
- Sentricon® Bait System (bait-based colony elimination)
- Bora-Care® (wood treatment, when appropriate)
Our inspectors will recommend the most effective treatment based on your home’s construction and the severity of the infestation.
Sentricon® Termite Protection & Damage Coverage
The Sentricon® System is a highly effective, bait-based solution that eliminates entire termite colonies at the source. For qualifying homes, we can also offer termite damage coverage with the Sentricon plan.
Because eligibility depends on construction type and property conditions, damage coverage is discussed during your inspection to ensure proper qualification and expectations.

Frequently Asked Questions
Do we need to leave the house during the treatment?
For most termite treatments, you can remain at home. Liquid applications are made to the soil around your foundation, and bait stations are placed outside, so interior access is rarely needed. If drilling or interior treatments are required, our technician will let you know beforehand.
How long does the treatment take?
A typical liquid Termidor application or Sentricon installation takes 2–6 hours, depending on your home’s size, construction type, and the extent of the infestation. We’ll provide a more accurate timeframe after the inspection.
How quickly will the termites be gone?
Liquid barrier treatments like Termidor SC can start working within 24 hours, but complete elimination may take several weeks. Baiting systems such as Sentricon rely on termites feeding and sharing the bait, so full control can take a few weeks to a few months depending on colony size.
Is this treatment safe for my kids and pets?
Yes. Our technicians apply products according to strict label directions, using methods designed to protect your family and pets. Whether we’re using Termidor SC for a liquid barrier or the Sentricon® Baiting System, the application process keeps exposure risk low. As a precaution, we recommend keeping kids and pets away from treated soil or bait stations until the work is complete and any liquid has dried—typically 1–2 hours.
Will the treatment prevent future infestations or just kill the termites I have now?
Both. Our Termidor liquid barrier remains active in the soil for years, protecting your home from future attacks. Sentricon bait stations are monitored year-round to intercept termites before they reach your home. Annual inspections are included with both methods to ensure your protection stays in place.
