Ant Control in Richmond, VA

Treatment That Targets the Colony

Ant trails often lead to a colony nearby. Species identification guides bait selection and treatment, with follow-up to check activity.

OUR PROCESS

Our Process for Thorough Ant Control

We target the colony, not just the ants you see.

1. Uncovering How Ants Get In
Throughout November, you can wipe up food residue and check around doors and utility openings before ant activity returns. We inspect the full perimeter, interior, attic, and crawlspace for trails, nests, and entry points. Our team looks behind appliances, under sinks, and along baseboards. You know exactly how and where ants are getting in, no guessing.

2. Targeted Ant Treatment at the Source
We treat where ants live and breed, not just the ants you see. Our team fixes what attracts them and seals every way in. Ants cannot return because entry points are closed and their colony is gone. You get real protection, not just a quick spray.

3. Long-Term Ant Protection
Ant control works best when the source of the problem is addressed. By targeting colonies and reducing access points, treatments provide reliable protection beyond the initial service. If ant activity continues, additional service is available to ensure the issue is resolved.

Greenshield provided prompt, courteous, and reasonably priced service. We had a huge European hornet nest in the top of our old shed. It was about the size of 3 basketballs. Michael and Jacob came and took out the nest. They were both very friendly, polite, professional, and knew what they were doing! They also will be doing a free follow-up visit in a week to make sure the hornets are gone for good. Cindy was also very friendly and courteous. She made communication and scheduling easy. I highly recommend them if you have a pest problem.

Discovered a large hornets nest on the side of my house on Sunday. About 24 hours later, it’s gone. Outstanding service.

I have been with Greenshield for over 5 years. They are knowledgeable and professional. When I had concerns they explained how it would be addressed. They have also come by between regular visits to address ants and hornets. I highly recommend them.

Charles did an excellent job. He was very thorough in making sure all spider webs were removed from the outside of the house and also when performing our general service outside and spraying for mosquitoes. When he came in the house to spray, he went over everything he did and explained what he found in our crawl space and explained how pests and mice could be getting into the crawl space and that they fix all those problems as well as just exterminating them. All around did an excellent job. We will be having a quote done by Greenshield to protect our crawl space! We've only been using this company for a few months since we've moved into our new home and they have been knowledgeable, friendly and thorough every time. We love this company! Would recommend to anyone looking to keep their home free of all critters!

Ant Control FAQs

Frequently Asked Questions About Ant Control

Everything you need to know before your inspection.

What does ant control service cost in Richmond?
The cost of ant control depends on your home and how much ant activity our team finds. Every situation is a little different, so we start with a free inspection to identify the ant species and see where they are getting in. From there we build a custom plan and give you an exact quote for your home. New clients also get $100 off, so reach out and we will set up your free inspection.
If ants return between your scheduled visits, we come back and re-treat at no extra cost. Your technician adjusts the treatment to target any new activity so the problem does not keep recurring. That re-service is included with every plan.
We offer same-day inspections in most cases across the Richmond metro area. Call us and we will get you on the schedule right away. If you need a specific day or time, we will work with your availability.
Yes. Your inspection and quote are free, with no commitment. We assess your property, identify the ant activity, and give you a clear price before any work begins.

Yes. Our ant treatments are kid and pet friendly once dry, which is usually just a short wait. After that, your kids and pets can be in treated areas as normal.
