General

• Residential Pest Control
  PermaTreat Pest and Termite Control offers residential pest control to target pest problems in your attic. Your attic is a rarely used area of the home, which means that a pest problem can thrive for a long time before you notice it.
• Commercial Pest Control
• Pest Identification
  Identifying your potential pest infestation is paramount to providing permanent, lasting treatment. That’s why PermaTreat offers the online Big Book of Bugs, a comprehensive pest identification source with a specific focus on the environment of Virginia.

Insects and Spiders

• Ants
  Ants are located throughout the world and survive off insects, seeds, honeydew, honey, bread, meats, nuts and cheese. Ants are most commonly found living under or inside pavement cracks, or within holes or cracks in your home.
• Spiders
  Common household pests enter the home during the fall in the attempt to find a warm environment for winter. No matter how clean or organized your house may be, spiders can be found in most households, due to their hardiness and ability to adapt.
• Termites
  Eastern Subterranean Termites are the most widely distributed and common termite species in Virginia. These social insects live in colonies that range from 100,000 to 1 million members. Colonies will forge up to 150 feet in search of a food source which results in connecting a network of feeding sites both above and below the soil surface. Termites travel in earth colored mud tubes as a protected runway which can be built both under the soil and along foundation walls.
• Bed Bugs
  Like their name suggests, bedbugs are most often found within the crevices of homeowners’ beds. These elusive and nocturnal creatures often hide in suitcases, boxes and shoes until it is time for them to feast on a meal of blood.
• Fleas
  You might think of fleas as something that only your pet gets, but fleas can affect you too. Discover what to know about fleas with these four common questions that homeowners ask about flea pest control.
• Cockroaches
  Restaurants and retail stores are the kinds of customers that are typically serviced during their slow times or as they are closing or opening. A restaurant requires a well-trained technician, a technician with a keen eye for not only places that the roaches and mice might hide but places they might move to if they are not treated and sealed. PermaTreat technicians are trained well in hands-on situations and they know that is just as important to point out places that create harborage for vermin such as mice and roaches as it is to eliminate the pests. Informing our customers that they are creating situations favorable to pests with clutter or grease and trash buildup is an important part of our pest programs.
• Silverfish
  PermaTherm is an EPA labeled pest control insulation, treated with pure boric acid. Although deadly to may insects, PermaTherm is acceptable for use around humans and pets. PermaTherm eliminates self-grooming insects, where it is installed, upon contact. Insects cannot build up a tolerance to PermaTherm, and it never needs retreating. PermaTherm helps control ants, cockroaches, silverfish, termites and other insects.
• Bees
  PermaTreat Pest and Termite Control can help you handle attic pest infestations in a variety of ways. For insects such as termites, ants, and bees, we can inspect for damage, install traps, and spray insecticides. We can also inspect the attic and correct any problems that are letting pests into your home.
• Wasps
  Stinging insects, such as bees, hornets and wasps, can pose as potential threats to homeowners and business owners due to their aggressive defense of their nests. If you are currently in need of a prevention or elimination plan in regards to stinging insects, please call our team at PermaTreat Pest and Termite Control today to schedule a service with our crew.
• Ticks
  Summer is one of the best times of the year to enjoy being outdoors. Gathering with family, cooking out on the grill or taking a swim are all wonderful things to enjoy. It’s important to keep your family and pets safe from mosquito and ticks. The team at Permatreat is ready to help you enjoy your backyard oasis! Call us today to schedule service.
• Earwigs
• Mosquitoes
  Certain times of the year, mosquitoes and other flying pests become more than a nuisance. They can become unbearable. PermaTreat’s exterior treatment focuses on areas of harborage. We can make recommendations for removing or correcting those conditions conducive to breeding.
• Flies
  Flying insects are annoying to homeowners due to their elusive nature. Call PermaTreat for control over your flying insect problem. Click to Identify Your Pest
• Beetles
• Hornets
• Stink Bugs
  Stink Bugs enter homes seeking a nice, warm place to shelter and lay eggs over the cold winter months. Since they are attracted to light and warmth, homes can be a very attractive place to hibernate. Additionally, they gather in groups when they hibernate, so if one is seen, that is an indication that there are many more.
• Pantry Pests
  These pests are common and are usually introduced to the home from an infested package or food source. If not identified quickly, population sizes can increase rapidly. Click to Identify Your Pest
• Stinging Insects
  Stinging insects are common nesters, and often create nests either above ground or in cavernous areas such as eaves and attics. These insects become incredibly aggressive when they fear that their nest is in danger.
• Gnats
  In an office setting, you have people with many different pest tolerance levels. One gnat seen in the kitchen might initiate a call for service while another person may have an office full of fungus gnats from their plants and not think it's an issue. This, coupled with the different sensitivities people may have, creates an interesting situation for the PermaTreat technician. PermaTreat technicians are prepared to handle the situation by educating the people about how to eliminate breeding sites and using “green” products to solve the infestation. Our technicians are always available to work around the schedule of the business for which we work.
• Sow Bugs
  Professional pest control is performed with fully integrated pest management (IPM) programs. These treatment plans include much more than just applying pesticides to control spiders, earwigs, sow bugs, ants, fleas, ticks, roaches, mice and a long list of pests we call occasional invaders.

Animal Control

• Bats

• Raccoons
  You might think of raccoons as cuddly and cute creatures. However, these rascally creatures will make your attic their permanent home if you aren’t aware of them or remove them.

Bird Control

• Birds

Rodent Control

• Rodents
  Attics are warm, dry, and cozy, which makes them a perfect habitat for local animals. Add to that the fact that attics are framed with wood, and you have the perfect nesting ground for rodents and insects alike.
• Mice
  Mice and rats are an unwelcome sight in your home. And even with strategically placed traps, you may not be able to eliminate the problem on your own. If you see a rat or mouse in your home, call PermaTreat Pest and Termite Control in Richmond, VA, right away. Our mouse and rat control services will leave your home free of pests in no time.
• Rats
  While this is not a comprehensive list of pests that can invade your attic, these are common pests you may find because your attic is the perfect home for them. Attics are dark and safe, which makes them tempting for bats, raccoons, mice, and rats. Attics are secluded, which makes birds love them. And attics framed in wood provide a habitat and food source for insects that eat and nest in wood.
