Q: Why should the outside rather than the inside of my home be treated for pests?
A: 90% of all pests come from outside. By treating the exterior of your home, pests can be stopped in their tracks before they ever get inside and invade your family's living space where they can potentially cause problems and even damage.
Q: How long does a perimeter pest treatment last?
A: The perimeter pest control treatment our company uses is microencapsulated and releases over a period of approximately two months. A big plus: Since the exterior of your home is being treated, you don't have to be home for the technician to make the bi-monthly treatment.
Q: Where exactly does the perimeter program take place?
A: On the initial pest control service, we treat the inside of your home along with the perimeter treatment which includes: a band in the soil, mulch and lawn surrounding and adjacent to your home's foundation (depending on your individual situation), window sills that can be reached, door openings, splash blocks, garbage cans, and garage door openings. These are where pests are usually found and can gain entrance into your home.
Q: Will the treatment harm the grass, shrubbery, of flowers around my home?
A: No. Even with direct contact you never have to worry about the product we use harming the soil or lawn.
Q: What Are The Benefits Of A Perimeter Pest Control Program?
A: Here are just a few reasons why we recommend and use a perimeter pest control program for our customer’s homes:
- Keeps unwanted pests from invading your home.
- Isn't harmful to soil, flowers, bushes, or lawns.
- Controls many different types of pests.
- Takes place outdoors - you don't have to be home during treatment.
- If you need us on the inside just call - no extra charge.
