A perimeter pest spray puts a treated band around the outside of your home to stop crawling pests before they get in. It is a popular booking in Mill Park, where many homes back onto parkland, reserves or open land, and ants, spiders and cockroaches are always close by. It suits people who mostly see pests coming in from outside rather than breeding indoors.
The crew we book walks the outside of the house and treats the places pests use to get in. That covers the slab edge and weep holes, door and window frames, the eaves, the base of fences, and around downpipes and electricity boxes. Pergolas, decks, garden sheds and garage doors can be added too, depending on your yard.
- Treatment along the slab edge and weep holes
- Spraying of eaves, door frames and window frames
- Treatment around downpipes, electricity boxes and pipes
- Optional treatment of the shed, pergola and deck
- Pointers on garden beds and mulch against the walls
Keep children and pets off treated areas until the crew says they are dry. If rain is forecast, mention it when you book, since heavy rain straight after a spray is not ideal and the crew may suggest another day. Pulling mulch and garden beds back from the walls also helps the treatment work better, as it removes a sheltered bridge into the house.
Many households book a perimeter spray in early spring and again in late summer, or add one to a general pest visit for the inside of the home. Call 03 7053 9824 to book a perimeter pest spray in Mill Park with upfront pricing.
