The Fort Bend county seat has some of the oldest housing in the county downtown and brand-new master-planned tracts at the edge, on opposite ends of the pest-entry spectrum.
Pest or wildlife problem at your Richmond home? Yellow Rose covers Richmond, from the old downtown, some of the oldest housing in the county, to new Aliana and Harvest Green. We handle the pests and the Brazos River wildlife that the range of housing brings, in the Fort Bend county seat.
Richmond was laid out in 1837 and its downtown historic district holds genuinely old buildings, from an 1840s cottage to the 1908 courthouse. Old structures mean more gaps, crawlspaces and roofline openings than a new subdivision, which is exactly what roof rats and smokybrown roaches exploit. At the other end, Aliana and Harvest Green are 2010s construction with a different set of issues. We read the age of the home first.
Richmond sits on the west bank of the Brazos, which crested at a record during Harvey and floods the bottoms regularly. Standing floodwater breeds mosquitoes, and Fort Bend County's program is surveillance-only, no spraying on request, so the yard-level work falls to a private service. We treat those sources.
The George Ranch and the Brazos corridor put a real wildlife load at Richmond's edge, alligators and all, and raccoons, opossums and squirrels move from that habitat into nearby attics. We remove them and then seal the roofline so the space cannot be reused.
