Common signs

• Pests entering around doors, windows, and the foundation
• Seasonal activity along the exterior
• A pattern of indoor sightings after weather changes
• Pests appearing indoors along baseboards, around windows, and near doors
• Activity concentrated where the foundation meets the ground and around utility openings

Common causes

• Gaps and cracks around the foundation and utilities
• Vegetation and mulch against the home
• Seasonal pressure from the yard
• Cracks, gaps, and utility penetrations that let pests move from outside in
• Mulch, vegetation, and moisture against the foundation that stage pests near entry points

How perimeter protection fits your home

Most household pests begin outside and cross into the home through a narrow band where the structure meets the ground — foundation cracks, gaps under doors and windows, and openings around utility lines. Conditions right against the house, like mulch, dense plantings, and moisture, stage pests near those entry points. Exterior perimeter service focuses on that band, reducing the pressure before pests get inside, and it pairs well with sealing the gaps that give them a way in.

Our inspection approach

We assess the exterior perimeter, entry points, and conditions like vegetation and moisture against the home.

Exterior perimeter service is preventive — it focuses on the band around the home where pests cross from outside to inside. We look at the foundation, doors, windows, utility openings, and the conditions staging pests nearby, then treat the exterior perimeter to reduce entry.

Treatment overview

Service focuses on the exterior perimeter and common entry points to reduce the pests that make it indoors.

Specific products, application rates, intervals, and re-entry guidance are confirmed at your inspection and follow product label directions. [PENDING_COMPLIANCE_APPROVAL — treatment specifics]

What to expect

You get a clear view of the perimeter conditions and the ongoing plan.

Preparation

• Trim plants back from the foundation where possible
• Note exterior areas with recurring activity

Follow-up

Recurring perimeter visits keep the protective zone consistent through the seasons.

Prevention

• Seal foundation and utility gaps
• Keep mulch and plants off the foundation
• Reduce exterior moisture and clutter

FAQ

Is exterior service enough on its own?
For many homes it is the core of prevention; interior service is added when conditions call for it.

What does exterior perimeter service cover? It is preventive treatment around the outside of the home to reduce common pests entering through foundations, doors, windows, utility openings, and other common entry points.

Is this the same as HomeGuard? Exterior perimeter treatment is one part of ongoing protection. HomeGuard provides recurring exterior and interior coverage for common household pests; we can explain how they fit together during the inspection.

Do you treat inside too? Perimeter service focuses on the exterior. If there is interior activity, we assess it during the inspection and recommend the right approach.

What can I do to help? Keeping mulch and vegetation off the foundation, sealing obvious gaps, and directing water away from the house all support perimeter treatment and reduce entry points.

How often is perimeter service done? It is typically part of ongoing, seasonal protection so the barrier stays effective as weather and pest pressure change. We will recommend timing after the inspection.

Does perimeter treatment replace sealing gaps? No — they work together. Treatment reduces pressure at the perimeter, while sealing entry points removes the openings pests use. The inspection identifies both.
