A perimeter pest spray creates a treated barrier around the outside of your home, so crawling insects meet the treatment before they get inside. It suits Caroline Springs homes where most pests come in from the garden, such as ants, spiders and cockroaches, and it is a popular choice before summer or after new landscaping. It can also be booked on its own for homes that have had an inside treatment recently.
The crew we book walks the outside of the home and treats the base of the walls, weep holes, door and window frames, eaves, downpipes, electricity boxes and the edges of paths and paving. Garden beds and mulch against the walls get attention too, as they hold moisture and shelter insects. Where there is a gap under a door or around pipes, the crew points it out so you can seal it.

- Tips on keeping the treated zone clear
A perimeter spray works well when the edge of the house stays clear. Keep mulch, soil and pot plants back from the walls, trim shrubs so they do not touch the house, and avoid hosing the treated strip for a few days after the visit. Keep pets and children off treated areas until the crew says they are dry. Most homes book a perimeter spray once or twice a year, often in spring.
Many people pair it with an inside treatment as part of a general pest visit. To book a perimeter pest spray at your Caroline Springs home, call 03 7053 9836. We will give you upfront pricing and book a local crew.
