What is Perimeter Pest Control?
Perimeter Pest Control is a preventative pest management service designed to stop insects and pests before they enter your home. Rather than treating an active infestation inside the house, Perimeter Pest Control treatments focus on creating a protective barrier around the exterior of your property.
This Typically Includes Treatment Around:
● Entry points
● The foundation
● Cracks and crevices
● Any other areas where pests commonly enter
Perimeter pest control treatments focus on the areas where insects and other common pests are most likely to live, hide, and enter your property. By treating these high-activity areas, our technicians create a strong defense that helps keep pests from making their way into your home.
Perimeter Pest Control Typically Targets:
● Ants
● Spiders
● Earwigs
● Centipedes
● Pill bugs
Perimeter Pest Control treatments are designed to target the most common pests that frequently invade homes and create ongoing problems for homeowners. By creating a protective barrier around your property, these treatments help reduce pest activity and support long-term prevention throughout the year.
Most Standard Perimeter Pest Programs Are Not Designed For:
● Severe infestation
● Termite treatment
● Rodent removal
● Bed bug extermination
● Large scale extermination issues
While Perimeter Pest Control treatments are highly effective at preventing and reducing common pest activity around your property, they are not intended to eliminate established infestations. If pests have already become deeply rooted inside your home or property, an extermination or targeted treatment plan may be necessary.
How Much Does Perimeter Pest Control Cost at Oasis Turf & Tree?
At Oasis Turf & Tree, pricing for Perimeter Pest Control is simple. The only factor that affects the cost is whether you bundle the service with one of our lawn care plans.
Our standard Perimeter Pest Control service is priced at no more than $87.50 per treatment. However, when bundled with a tree and shrub plan or mosquito control, the cost is reduced to just $40.50 per treatment.
With other companies, the cost of Perimeter Pest Control may vary based on:
● Home size
● Pest frequency
● Frequency of treatments
● Whether or not the Perimeter Pest Control service is bundled with lawn care or tree care services
What Do You Get with Oasis Turf & Tree’s Perimeter Pest Control Service?
At Oasis Turf & Tree, every 5-6 weeks, one of our trained technicians will come to treat your home.
These treatments will include:
Exterior perimeter application
Our exterior perimeter treatment focuses on the areas surrounding your home's foundation where pests are most likely to gain entry. Our technicians carefully treat common access points, including cracks, crevices, and other vulnerable areas, creating a protective barrier that helps keep unwanted pests outside where they belong.
Monitoring for recurring pest activity
Every visit includes a thorough inspection for new or increased pest activity around your property. Our technicians document their findings, keep homeowners informed of any concerns, and provide the appropriate treatment based on what they observe. Consistently monitoring pest activity helps prevent small problems from becoming larger infestations.
Homeowners may also receive guidance on environmental conditions that may contribute to pest problems, such as:
● Excessive moisture
● Debris buildup
● Overgrown vegetation near the home
Our approach combines effective treatments with customer education, providing homeowners with the knowledge and guidance they need to reduce the conditions that attract and support common pests. By working proactively, we help create a healthier, more pest-resistant environment around your property.
Is Perimeter Pest Control Worth It?
For many homeowners, Perimeter Pest Control isn’t about addressing infestations after they happen, it's about taking proactive steps to prevent problems before they become unmanageable.
That distinction is important.
Treating a serious pest problem after it spreads inside your home is often:
● More expensive
● More disruptive
● More time consuming
● Requires more chemicals
In many cases homeowners are paying for:
● Peace of mind
● Consistency
● Reduced pest activity
● Protection from infestations
Perimeter Pest Control isn’t necessary for every homeowner. However, if you feel it’s the right fit for your home and the thought of a pest-free environment gives you peace of mind, it can be an excellent solution.
If skipping Perimeter Pest treatments leaves you imagining an ant colony expanding from a crack in your sidewalk into your kitchen, swarming your pantry and covering your family's favorite foods, then the added protection of a preventative pest control program may be well worth the peace of mind. By addressing pest activity before it becomes a serious problem, you can greatly reduce the risk of a small issue turning into a stressful and disruptive infestation.
When Might Perimeter Pest Control Not Be Enough?
Perimeter Pest Control is a preventative service, in some situations additional more advanced treatments may be necessary.
These situations include:
● Interior infestations
● Termite problems
● Rodent activity
In these situations, perimeter treatments may not be enough, and you may need to invest in targeted corrective services.
How to Know if Perimeter Pest Control is Right for Me?
