What to Expect From Your Initial Perimeter Pest Control Treatment

If you're looking to keep pests from entering your inside space, you'll want to sign up for a perimeter pest control service. While you may know what this service is designed to do, you may not know what to expect during the initial treatment. During their initial visit, they will apply an exterior treatment that targets common pests in Texas like ants, spiders, roaches, fleas, ticks, and more, as well as remove any wasp nets or spider webs that are attached to your home or business. They will then treat the interior space, targeting areas like bathrooms, kitchens, laundry rooms, and garages. After applying this initial treatment, you may notice some activity within 12-24 hours due to the pests reacting from the treatment; however, after that, you should see a significant drop-off in pest activity! Then, after about 30 days, professionals will return to apply a follow-up treatment to help establish a footprint and minimize the amount of pests that you'll see.

What can you expect during an initial perimeter pest control treatment?

A perimeter pest control service includes several treatments throughout the year to protect your property from pests. When you schedule this service, here's what you can expect during the initial visit:

• Exterior Treatment: During the initial visit, a liquid spray is applied on the exterior walls of your home or business to create a barrier that protects against pests. This process also includes a bulb duster that applies a treatment inside the weep holes around your building, which leaves a light film that will eliminate insects that come into contact with it. A web pole is also used to brush up to two stories high to remove wasp nests, spider webs, and more. Additionally, the interior of your yard will also be treated for optimal protection.
• Interior Treatment: Once they have treated the outside of your home or business, they will come inside to apply a liquid spray inside your bathrooms, kitchen, laundry room, and garage to eliminate any existing pests and prevent new ones from infesting those areas as well.

You might notice a little bit of activity right after the initial perimeter pest control treatment is applied.

After the initial perimeter pest control treatment is applied, you may start seeing some signs of pest activity almost immediately. That's because perimeter pest control treatments are quick-knockdown treatments, meaning they work quickly to target pests in their hiding spots. So, once it's applied, it will go to work targeting pests that are currently hiding inside your home or business. Because these treatments work so quickly, you may notice an increase in pest activity for about 12-24 hours as they start reacting to it, but after that, you should start noticing a significant decrease in pest activity.

Professionals will return to your property after 30 days to apply a follow-up perimeter pest control treatment.

When you enroll in a perimeter pest control program, professionals will return to your property 30 days after the initial treatment for a follow-up visit. During this visit, they will reapply their treatments to the outside of your property to help establish their footprint on your property and minimize the amount of pests that you'll see. After that, they will return regularly throughout the year to reapply their treatments to provide ongoing protection.
