A perimeter pest spray treats the outside of the home, where most crawling insects start their journey inside. In Brisbane, cockroaches, ants, spiders and silverfish all come in from gardens, paths, drains and sub-floors, so treating that outside edge cuts down on how many make it through the door. It is a common choice for people who would rather not have a full indoor treatment, or who want an extra outside visit between their yearly indoor ones.
The crew we book walks the outside of the house and treats the areas insects cross on their way in. That covers the base of the walls, weep holes, door and window frames, gaps around pipes and cables, paths and patios, garden edges, and the eaves where spiders build webs. On high-set homes, the stumps and the ground under the house are included, since that is where many insects shelter and climb up.
- Base of walls and weep holes treated
- Door frames, window frames and sliding door tracks sprayed
- Paths, patios and garden edges treated
- Eaves brushed and sprayed for spiders
- Stumps and ground under high-set homes included
Perimeter sprays suit the low-set brick and weatherboard homes common in Annerley, Moorooka and Holland Park, where ants and cockroaches tend to come in from the garden, as well as townhouses with small courtyards. Rain and garden watering wear the treatment down over time, so many households in Brisbane book it once or twice a year, usually in spring and again in late summer.
Keep people and pets off treated areas until they are dry, and hold off on hosing the walls and paths for a little while. To book a perimeter pest spray, call 07 3543 7764 and tell us about the home and yard.
