How Perimeter Pest Control Protects Your Home from Unwanted Invaders

Your home should be your safe space—not a playground for pests. Unfortunately, insects like ants, spiders, roaches, and beetles see cracks and entry points around your foundation as an open invitation. That’s where perimeter pest control comes in.

This proactive service creates a powerful, invisible barrier around your home, keeping bugs outside where they belong.

What Is Perimeter Pest Control?

Perimeter pest control is a specialized treatment applied around your home’s exterior to prevent insects from entering. Instead of reacting to infestations inside, this method focuses on blocking entry before pests get in.

At Anointed Lawn Care, we treat the base of your home’s foundation, windows, doorways, and other key areas where bugs are most likely to sneak in.

Why Perimeter Pest Control Works Better Than Indoor Sprays

Most homeowners wait until they see pests indoors before taking action—but by then, it’s too late. Indoor sprays only kill the bugs you see, not the ones nesting nearby.

Perimeter pest control stops the invasion before it starts by:

• Targeting outdoor nesting and breeding areas.
• Creating a residual barrier that lasts for weeks.
• Reducing indoor pesticide use for safer pest management.

The result? A pest-free home—without the hassle of constant interior treatments.

Common Pests Controlled by Perimeter Treatments

Professional perimeter pest control protects against a wide range of household invaders, including:

• Ants (fire ants, carpenter ants, sugar ants)
• Spiders (black widows, house spiders, wolf spiders)
• Beetles and earwigs
• Crickets and centipedes
• Cockroaches
• Wasps and hornets nesting near entryways

With regular treatments, your home stays protected season after season.

When to Schedule Perimeter Pest Control

The best time to start perimeter pest control is early spring—just before insects become active. However, regular applications every 2–3 months maintain consistent protection year-round, especially during hot Texas summers when pests thrive.

If you notice increased bug activity, trails near baseboards, or nests around doors and windows, it’s time to refresh your treatment barrier.
