Springfield is the seat of Greene County, and its houses cover about 150 years of building. The Walnut Street Historic District holds more than 150 wood, brick, and stone homes built between roughly 1870 and 1940, and Midtown's tree-lined grid is full of houses from around 1900. Rountree and Phelps Grove filled in with bungalows and Tudor cottages in the 1920s and 1930s. Most of the city's homes went up after 1940, and about four in ten date from 1970 to 1999. In the older houses, loose window frames, gaps around old pipes, and worn foundations give mice and spiders an easy way in.
The city sits on limestone and dolomite, rock that slowly dissolves into caves and sinkholes, and Greene County has thousands of sinkholes on record. Many of those low spots fill with water after a heavy rain, which gives mosquitoes a place to breed. The James River runs down the east side of the city into Lake Springfield, while Wilson's Creek, Galloway Creek, Jordan Creek, and Fassnight Creek wind through town along greenway trails. The Springfield Conservation Nature Center keeps 79 acres of woods and trails inside city limits. The last frost usually comes in early April and the first in late October, so mosquitoes and ticks get a long season.

Services
Pest Control Services We Offer in Springfield
RIDD provides the following services to Springfield residents and businesses. Each links to a full service page with detailed information, pricing, and booking.
- 01
General Pest Control
We visit quarterly or bi-monthly to treat ants, spiders, roaches, and wasps, in an 1890s Walnut Street house or a 1980s subdivision. Each visit also covers the eaves, the overhanging edge of the roof, since many companies treat only the lower walls. Starting at $49/month.
- 02
Spider Control
Brown recluses live under rocks outdoors, and in Springfield homes they settle in basements and rarely opened closets. We treat those spots and the base of the outside walls, where rock borders and stone steps give them cover, and clear webs from basement windows.
- 03
Mosquito, Tick & Flea Control
Mosquitoes breed in still pools along Galloway and Wilson's creeks, and lone star ticks climb the brush beside the greenway trails. From late April through October, we spray the shaded plants where both rest, and each round keeps working for three to four weeks.
- 04
Rodent Control
About one in eight Springfield homes predates 1940, and mice get into those houses around old pipes and worn foundations. We set bait stations and traps along the walls and pipe runs mice follow, and before leaving we walk you through the openings to close.
- 05
Wasp & Hornet Control
Paper wasp queens spend the winter inside building walls, then start new nests on Springfield porches and in open sheds around April. Yellowjackets often start in an old rodent burrow under the lawn, so we treat active nests in the ground and on the house.
- 06
Ant Control
Carpenter ants nest in wood that stays damp, like a leaky window sill in an early-1900s Midtown house, and push out coarse, sawdust-like shavings. We treat their nests, along with the nests of odorous house ants that trail into kitchens after heavy rain.

Common questions
Pest Control FAQs for Springfield Residents
Do you service all of Springfield?
Yes. RIDD covers all of Springfield, including zip codes 65802, 65803, 65804, 65806, 65807, 65809, and 65810. Pricing and services are the same across the entire city.
When is tick season in Springfield?
Adult and young lone star ticks are active from early spring through midsummer, and newly hatched ticks, often called seed ticks, show up in late summer and early fall. That means a September walk on the Nature Center trails, or along your own back fence, can still bring home ticks.
Is pricing the same in Springfield as in RIDD's other markets?
Yes. RIDD uses the same pricing across the entire service area. Pest 4 starts at $49/month, Pest 6 at $69/month, and RIDD Package 4 at $89/month. No travel fees regardless of your address, and every plan includes our 100% satisfaction guarantee, backed by free re-services.
Can a sinkhole in my Springfield yard breed mosquitoes?
It can. The City of Springfield says bowl-shaped sinkholes usually fill with water in a heavy rain. Some drain fast through an opening in the bottom, but a clogged one can hold water longer than the 7 to 10 days mosquitoes need to grow from egg to adult.
