You can address all your pests with one service visit. Treatments can be applied to your home’s exterior and yard to help deal with mosquitoes, ticks, ants, spiders, fleas, and other insects.
Dealing with different pests one at a time is a special kind of exhausting. You buy one product for ants and another for spiders. Citronella candles to shoo off mosquitoes, tick sprays to keep ticks off the dog. None of them work particularly well, and none address the bigger picture—the ecosystem your home sits in.
Perimeter pest treatments work in a different way. Instead of going after individual pests, these treatments target the areas around your home where pests live, travel, and enter. That includes the foundation perimeter, door and window frames, eaves, and the underside of decks, garage entries, and the vegetation immediately surrounding the house. When pests cross these treated zones, the product controls them regardless of species.
The many, many pests of Southern Massachusetts can take up a lot of your attention. Mosquitoes and ticks are the ones that get the most attention, and there is a good reason for that, but they’re far from the only problems here. You also have ants (pavement ants, carpenter ants), spiders, earwigs, millipedes, fleas, and other crawling insects. All of them respond to perimeter barrier treatments. That means with a single service, you can tamp down on multiple problems at once.
The treatment works best when done on a regular schedule. A single application breaks down over time, and new pest pressure comes from the surrounding environment continuously. Repetition is part of what makes the treatment as effective as it is. Pest problems are population problems, which means you need to stop pests from rebuilding their numbers after one big treatment.
