Pest Control
Pest control firm with a Richmond base on River Road, run by a technician active in BC's structural pest management association. Handles rodents, wasps and hornets, ants, bed bugs and wildlife for homes as well as commercial and industrial sites.
Treat exclusion as the actual job. Killing what is already inside without sealing the route in buys you a few weeks and nothing more, so an inspection worth paying for ends with a list of gaps, vents and crawlspace openings to close rather than a note of where bait went down. Ask for that list up front. A firm that will not produce one is selling you a visit instead of a solution.
Rodents are a fact of life on a delta. Richmond sits low and flat with farmland along its edges, drainage ditches running through the middle of it, and winters that never get cold enough to knock populations back, so rats move indoors in autumn and households discover them in January. That is the seasonal rhythm of the trade here, along with wasp and hornet nests in July and ants arriving every spring without fail.
This firm works from a River Road base in Bridgeport and covers the range: rodents, wasps and hornets, ants, bed bugs and wildlife, for houses as well as commercial and industrial sites. Pest control is a trade where the gap between a professional and somebody with a sprayer comes down to knowing where things live and what is legal to use against them, so licensing and association membership are fair things to ask about. Older houses near the dykes and the farm edges deal with all of this far more than the towers do, and a crawlspace is usually where the story starts.

Longer reads from the editor, with the places worth a detour linked inside them.
The Night Market's final season is the loud story. The quieter one: free admission at the Cannery ends Monday, Britannia keeps summer hours through Sunday, and Steveston does sunsets better than anyone.

Nothing on Alexandra Road is a secret. It is just in a strip mall with bad signage and no patio, which is why visitors never find it. Here is how I actually use Richmond's plazas and food courts, which specialists are worth the drive, and when not to bother.

The West Dyke Trail is about five and a half kilometres of flat gravel between Terra Nova Rural Park and Garry Point, and I ride it most mornings. Here is what is actually at the north end, which way to walk so the wind is on your side, and why winter is the better season for it.
