Services
Pest Control
Our comprehensive pest control services target ants, rodents, termites, bed bugs, and other common pests. Using advanced techniques, we eliminate infestations and implement preventative measures to protect homes and businesses. Our licensed technicians ensure safe, effective solutions tailored to each client's needs.
Bee Barrier
The Bee Barrier service prevents wasps and wood-destroying bees from nesting on structures. A safe liquid application repels pests while protecting property. This preventative solution offers year-round protection against stinging insects, ensuring safety for families and commercial spaces.
Mosquito Control
Our mosquito control services reduce populations through targeted treatments. By eliminating breeding grounds and applying barrier sprays, we create safer outdoor environments. Seasonal preventative plans protect Connecticut and Massachusetts properties from mosquito-borne diseases and nuisances.
Rodent Maintenance
Annual rodent maintenance plans include exclusion methods, trapping, and repellent applications. Our four-treatment program prevents infestations while addressing existing issues. Natural repellents and exclusion techniques protect properties from damage caused by mice and rats.
Stinging Insect Removal
Professional stinging insect removal services address wasps, hornets, yellow jackets, and carpenter bees. Our technicians safely eliminate nests using specialized equipment. Preventative treatments reduce future risks while ensuring compliance with environmental regulations protecting honeybees.

Report
Matt was timely, professional and knowledgeable during the extermination and treatment of an exposed wasp nest that sat about 25 feet high on my roofline. He listened to specific concerns that I had about the effected area and tackled them to the best of his ability. He explained the benefits of the company's bee barrier service but was not at all pushy about closing a deal on it, which I greatly appreciated as I prefer to commit to things on my own time.
The price was fair and scheduling/payment were simple and easy. The office/customer service staff were very pleasant to deal with over the phone during the initial scheduling and final payment processes. I would reccomend this company and will absolutely consider them for future pest control needs that require a professional touch.

I am extremely impressed with the personal, professional service I received from every single person I worked with at Richland regarding Bee Barrier services (which deters bees from trying to enter my home without harming them). From Casey and Mikayla who I dealt with briefly when calling, to Kim who provided very thorough, knowledgeable answers to all my questions before making my decision, to James and Will who actually did the work. Amazing! James especially was extremely patient, knowledgeable and respectful while on site giving us a great peace of mind that we made the right decision.
And today I spoke with Joni to clarify some confusing billing information on my customer portal, another very positive experience. I did quite a bit of research online before making my decision and I was impressed by the family ownership and longevity of the company right off the bat. I will be sure to use your company again in the future and recommend you highly to others.

The entire experience from first call to application of treatments is entirely professional, friendly, and effective. First used them about 2 years ago for a major bee problem. They prepared me for what to expect following the treatment and what they said basically happened. Signed up for preventative maintenance for the following year and it was the first time in 18 years of being in our house that we had ZERO issues with bees or ants or spiders.
We live in a heavily wooded area next to wetlands and have seen it all. They just came out today for our annual service. Donald Aliff was our service tech and he called us prior to arrival, rang the doorbell and introduced himself when he arrived, and took a walk around the house with me so I could point out some areas that might need some extra attention. He was quick and efficient and friendly. I should have done this 18 years ago. It would have saved me so much frustration! Would highly recommend!
