The Kaiser shipyards built 747 ships here during World War II. Additions and remodels can leave hidden voids where pests nest, especially where old and new framing meet. Point Richmond has older homes on hillsides.
Subterranean termites are common in Northern California, and spring swarms are often the first sign. The Richmond-San Rafael Bridge starts here.

Quick answers
Which parts of Richmond can you help with?

Who pays for pest control if I rent?
In many places, it's the landlord's responsibility. Check your lease and local codes. Report the problem in writing and keep a copy, since that record helps if the issue keeps coming back.
How do I prevent mice?
Seal gaps around pipes and doors, store food in sealed containers and keep clutter down. Mice can squeeze through a gap about the width of a pencil, so small holes around pipes and vents matter.
Any Richmond details worth mentioning when I call?

Quick note on how this works: VendorReach passes requests along and doesn't do repairs. Whoever comes out is an independent pest control company working for themselves, not for us. Talk through the estimate before anything gets taken apart. The pro gives you a price before any work starts, and it's your call whether to go ahead.
