Why should the outside rather than the inside of my home be treated for pests?

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.

How long does a perimeter pest treatment last?

The perimeter pest treatment stops pests in minutes of the application but it is difficult to say how long the application will last for you home. Many conditions factor in when an application schedule is set up. Many areas have different climates, infestations types, the types of grounds around your home, etc. When we make the initial inspection we can tell you best how often your treatments will be needed.

What should I do to prepare for a perimeter treatment?

That is the beautiful thing about our service. You need not be there or even do anything to prepare. If you have a gate or dangerous pet you may wish to make arrangements but other than that we are entirely self-sufficient. Your notice will be left letting you know the application was made.
