Do I Have to Spray Pest Control Indoors?

Spraying pests where we see them doesn’t address the problem where it began.

It’s natural to assume that indoor pest control is the answer when you find a spider in a hidden corner or ants in the kitchen. And indoor pest infestations typically do call for an indoor exterminator.

But the truth is most household pests originate outside the house. That’s where they live, feed, and reproduce. You’ll find them in areas close to the home, like along patios and foundations, within landscaping, and inside the garage. That’s why Mosquito Squad Plus of Austin takes a broader approach to pest control. We identify pest activity at its outdoor sources and formulate an ideal treatment regimen to strengthen your home’s defenses against indoor invasions.

When Is Indoor Pest Control Necessary?

No doubt, if pests have established themselves inside a home, an exterminator is likely needed for targeted indoor treatment. An active ant colony or significant cockroach infestation cannot always be resolved through exterior pest control treatments alone.

And while indoor treatment helps address the immediate problem, where pests are present, it will not address their origin, leaving outdoor populations untouched.

Truly effective pest control must consider both the immediate concern, as well as the conditions that brought it about. This includes outdoor breeding sites, nesting areas, and potentially vulnerable points around the home by which pests might enter.

Can Outdoor Pest Control Help Keep Bugs Out of the House?

Proactive outdoor pest control can absolutely help reduce the number of pests living throughout your property, including landscaped areas, wooded edges, outdoor living spaces, and areas close to your home.

Austin’s temperate climate additionally allows pests to remain active for much of the year. Ants will build outdoor colonies before beginning their march into your kitchen. Spiders will begin to gather near exterior lights and sunny corners, where other insects are apt to gather. Fleas and ticks will occupy shady, grassy spaces, and cockroaches will seek food, water, and ample shelter near or inside your home.

Our Complete Home & Yard pest control plan is a year-round approach, specifically designed to address areas where pests begin, as well as areas around the home, where they might attempt to enter. Rather than relying exclusively on a single indoor exterminator visit after outdoor pests get inside, this service offers protection against more than 40 pests at their source of origin.
