PERIMETER PEST CONTROL
In making your home comfortable for your family, you also make it attractive to insects searching for a pleasant environment. Some insects enter through open doors and holes
in window screens, but even greater numbers may enter through untreated openings that you don’t even think about. A barrier treatment of your home’s perimeter can help protect your home against pest invasion. Insects can invade your home through cracks
in the foundation, loose dryer vents, partially open mortar joints, loose-fitting window
frames, drains, sump pumps or any other openings from the outside. Some crawl across
your door sills and slide under ill-fitting storm doors or entry doors. Successful perimeter pest
control depends on the application of a barrier treatment to all possible points of entry.
