Humid summer nights can bring plenty of unwanted insects to your home. These insects can surround the perimeter of your home when you least expect it! Common insects can include ants, crickets, spiders, centipedes, and other various multi-legged insects. To keep your home safe, a perimeter insect control program is suggested to decrease the chance of unwanted insects entering your home.
What is a Perimeter Pest Control?
Perimeter Pest Control is an outer barrier protection plan to reduce bugs from entering your home and foundation. Since the treatment is performed outside, perimeter insect control is a safe method since no chemicals will be applied inside your home. In fact, most perimeter insect control treatments do require anyone to be present inside the house.
Although perimeter insect control is mainly focused on getting rid of unwanted insects, it can also protect your plantings and landscape from various insects seeking food. Each lawn care professional has different steps for the perimeter insect control program, so it is important to call your local lawn care professional for additional details.
Protect your Family’s Health
With a perimeter insect control program, you are also protecting your family from any possible health concerns. Some insects can cause your family and pets allergic reactions from a bite or sting. This can lead to serious health injury and a hospital trip you wished never happened.
For instance, ticks can cause Lyme disease, which has a circular red bite mark with symptoms to cause extreme fatigue. If rodents enter your home, they pose as a serious threat. Rodents contaminate most objects they touch and cause allergic reactions. Since rodents carry bacteria, you can develop salmonella if a insect control program has not been implemented. Other insects that can affect your health are cockroaches, mosquitos, ants, and fleas.
