What is a perimeter pest?

Perimeter pests enter buildings throughout the year with the intent of finding a sheltered place in order to survive the frigid temperatures. Think ants, cockroaches, and spiders, oh my! Mosquito Joe of Northern Prince William County now offers services to help prevent and remove these nasty critters from inhabiting your home.

What we’ll treat for:

    • Crickets
    • Ants
    • Cockroaches
    • Spiders
    • Millipedes
    • Centipedes
    • Pill bugs
  • Stink bugs

How does it work?

Our certified and trained technicians will start with a thorough inspection to identify any areas where these pests could harbor and take shelter. This allows us to make accurate and thoughtful recommendations about sealing cracks and holes that may contribute to infestations. We’ll then treat your foundation, eaves, windows, doors, flower beds, and likely spider web sites with our solution and state-of-the-art compressed air sprayer. Our technicians will take it a step further and treat all cracks and crevices of your home.

When do I need to worry about perimeter pests?

There are two times when treating for perimeter pests makes sense. The first time is in the fall prior to the temperature falling below 50 degrees to avoid overwintering. What is overwintering you might ask? This means these pests will seek warm shelter in or around your home to survive the winter. I think we can all agree these are not the ideal tenants to be moving in but don’t worry. Mosquito Joe of Northern Prince William County can help! The second time (even if you did think about stopping the pests in the fall) is in the early springtime. This is when these pests will be leaving your home and heading to the bountiful water and food supplies that are awakening in your yard.

Mosquito Joe prescribes two treatments in both the Fall and Spring to rid your home and yard of these pests!
