Termite Inspection & Treatment in Richmond, VA
Free Termite Inspections Through Active Infestation Elimination, Backed by a Satisfaction Guarantee
Richmond sits in a moderate-to-heavy termite infestation probability zone on the USDA Forest Service scale, one of the higher-risk tiers in the continental United States. The eastern subterranean termite, responsible for the vast majority of structural damage across Virginia, can forage actively for nine to ten months out of the year in this climate. Standard homeowners insurance excludes termite damage, which means the full cost falls on the homeowner. Pest Authority of Richmond, VA gives Richmond homeowners a clear path forward whether they’re unsure if they have a problem, dealing with an active infestation, or protecting a structure before construction begins.
We offer Free Termite Inspections with no obligation, Active Infestation Elimination, and Preventative Treatments, all backed by our 100% satisfaction guarantee.
Termites don’t wait, and neither should you. Call (804) 910-0897 to schedule your Free Termite Inspection in Richmond today.
Termite Services We Offer
Not every homeowner is in the same situation. Some want confirmation before they act. Others already know something is wrong. Our services are structured to meet you where you are.
Free Termite Inspections
Our technicians assess your property at no cost and with no obligation. We identify whether termites are present, determine the extent of any activity, and walk you through what we found before recommending any treatment.
Active Infestation Elimination
For homes where termites have already moved in, we design a treatment plan using liquid termiticide and bait station solutions based on what the inspection reveals. The approach addresses the infestation at the colony level, not just surface activity.
Preventative Treatments
If your home is currently termite-free, keeping it that way requires ongoing monitoring and protection. Preventative Treatments establish a barrier and help identify early activity before it becomes structural damage.
Pre-Construction Treatments
For new construction, soil treatment applied before a foundation is poured creates a protective barrier from the ground up. Contact us to confirm availability for your build location.
Signs of a Termite Infestation Richmond Homeowners Should Know
Termites work from the inside out. By the time damage is visible, a colony may have been feeding for months. Knowing what to look for puts you in a position to act early.
- Flying swarmers: Winged reproductive termites emerge from soil and wood, typically in spring after rain. Cast-off wings near doors, windows, or on floors indicate nearby colony activity and warrant an immediate inspection.
- Damaged wood: Infested wood sounds hollow when tapped and is soft enough to pierce. Blistering or holes may appear on the surface, but much of the damage stays hidden. Structural members may be compromised well before anything looks wrong.
- Shelter tubes: These pencil-width mud tubes, built from soil, wood particles, and saliva, allow termites to travel without exposure to open air. Check foundation walls, crawl spaces, attics, and floor joists. Finding mud tubes can be a clear sign of active subterranean termite movement.
Eastern subterranean termites can remain active at relatively low soil temperatures, so don’t assume a cold stretch means you’re in the clear. Infestations can develop year-round.

How We Approach Termite Treatment
Every treatment starts with an inspection. Before any product is applied, our technicians assess the property to identify where termites are active, how extensive the infestation is, and what conditions are making the structure vulnerable. That assessment drives the treatment plan.
We use two primary methods: liquid termiticide and bait station solutions. Liquid termiticide is applied as a soil treatment, creating a barrier between termite foraging zones and the wooden structure above. Bait station solutions are installed around the property perimeter; termite workers find the bait and carry it back to the colony, addressing the infestation at its source rather than only the activity visible at the surface.
Subterranean termites forage underground, which is why soil-level treatment is central to addressing the colony rather than just what’s visible inside the home. The plan we design addresses the active infestation and works to help prevent new ones from establishing.
