What is Perimeter Pest Control?
Prevention is always the best remedy for any problem, including pest problems. Perimeter pest control is a plan to implement a protective barrier around your home and foundation in order to reduce uninvited pests from getting indoors. The main purpose of perimeter pest control is to keep as many unwanted pests from getting inside your home, but it’s also good news for gardeners. Effective perimeter control can also protect plants and landscaping from insects that would feed on them.
Can You Do Pest Control Yourself?
Professional pesticide treatment is often what comes to mind when most people mention, perimeter pest control, but there are quite a few effective steps you can take yourself:
- Keep your lawn mowed, and trees and shrubs trimmed at least 6 to 12 inches away from the side of your house.
- Eliminate standing water in your yard as much as possible (e.g., areas on your property where rainwater collects, as well as buckets, old tires, pet dishes, etc. where standing water may accumulate).
- Keep woodpiles, trash, and mulch as far away from the side of your house as possible–at least 20 feet.
- Keep your yard clear of leaf and grass clutter, as well as trash/boxes of any kind.
- With caulking, seal up cracks, crevices, and holes around your home, around windows, doors, etc. Make sure door and window screens are in good repair, and holes where cables/pipes enter your home are screened over or stuffed with steel wool to eliminate pest entry points. Door sweeps and weatherproofing should also be kept in good repair.
- Eliminate leaks around (and inside) your home, i.e., hoses, faucets, pipes, etc.
- Replace outdoor white lighting with yellow lighting when possible to help reduce the attraction for flying pests.
