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.

Battling an infestation of pests can be frustrating, expensive and time-consuming. Avoid problems by having a barrier treatment applied to your home throughout the year. Seasonal treatments are important, because newly active insects in the spring will be heading inside to avoid sudden cold snaps or find a handy source of food for the season, Summer treatments fight newly hatched crickets and fleas. In the fall, barrier treatments will prevent spiders and millipedes from getting inside to seek shelter from the cold.
