Perimeter Pest Control Service

Treatments are repeated throughout the year because weather breaks the barrier down over time, and because different pests press on the house in different seasons. Skipping the fall round is how stink bugs and mice end up indoors for the winter. We keep you on a rotation rather than waiting for a call.

Ants, spiders, crickets, earwigs, millipedes, silverfish, roaches that wander in from outside, stink bugs, boxelder bugs, and the beetles that pile up under porch lights. Anything that lives outdoors and drifts toward the warmth of your house is in range.

Yes. The treatment band is narrow and applied to hard surfaces and soil at the foundation, not broadcast over turf or sprayed into beds. Nothing in it harms grass or ornamental plants at label rates. If you have vegetables planted against the house, point them out, and we’ll keep clear.

Within a few days for most homes. There’s often a short stretch where you see more activity, not less, as insects already inside the walls move out through treated areas. That settles down within a week or two, and the difference is obvious by the next visit.

Yes, though for different reasons. Ants pick up the material as they travel their trails along the foundation. Spiders are hit both directly and indirectly; treating the insects they feed on removes the reason they set up near your doors and eaves in the first place. Knocking down webs during the visit helps, too.

House perimeters get treated across Haymarket and Gainesville, along with Northern Virginia neighborhoods within reach of both.
