A perimeter pest spray is an outside-only treatment that puts a barrier around the walls of the home. It is aimed at crawling insects such as cockroaches, ants, spiders and silverfish before they get inside. Many Palm Beach households book one between general treatments, or when pests are mostly coming in from the garden rather than living indoors.
The crew we book walks the outside of the house first. They look at where garden beds meet the slab, where mulch is piled against walls, where weep holes and gaps around pipes give easy access, and where downpipes and drains keep the ground damp. Then they treat along those lines with a spray made for outdoor surfaces.
- A walk around the outside walls, paths and garden edges
- A band of spray along the base of walls and the slab edge
- Treatment of weep holes, door frames, window frames and eaves
- Attention to fences, sheds and outdoor furniture near the house
- Advice on mulch, garden beds and gaps to seal
A perimeter spray works on the outside only, so it does not deal with pests that are already breeding indoors, such as German cockroaches in the kitchen. If the crew sees signs of an indoor problem, they will say so and explain the options. Rain can wash some product off exposed surfaces, so a dry forecast for a day or two after the visit helps.
When you call, tell us the size of the home, whether it is on a slab or raised, and what pests you are seeing outside. We give you upfront pricing on the phone. To book a perimeter pest spray in Palm Beach, call 07 3543 7772 and a local crew will be lined up.
