Pest Control Services

Perimeter and Foundation Pest Control Treatments

Ants. Spiders. Creepy-crawlies. Bugs. Crickets. Little things with lots of legs. You don’t have to know exactly what they are for Lawn Doctor to help get rid of them and prevent them from returning. We can identify your insect pest problems and eliminate them from your home with our Perimeter Pest Control program, treating the edges of your home to create a barrier of protection. Treating the perimeter means no treatment inside the home is necessary, so you don't even have to be home at the time of service.

Pests and Your Health

Many of these pests are not only annoying or scary but can actually affect your health or the health of your family or your pets. For example, bugs such as centipedes, field ants and spiders can bite or sting and may cause allergic reactions or carry diseases that can make you ill or even become deadly. Insects can also destroy your property including paper (as in books or documents), furniture, fabrics including drapes, furs and food.

The list of pests controlled by our treatments includes:

• Ants
• Millipedes
• Centipedes
• Earwigs
• Boxelder bugs
• Crickets
• Fleas
• Ticks
• Spiders
• Snowbugs
• Clover mites
• Silverfish
• Non-nesting carpenter ants

Perimeter Pest Control Maintainer Program

Whether they’re in the yard or starting to enter the home, we can help with our Maintainer program for pest control. On every service, we will inspect your property and provide recommendations for remedying conditions that contribute to pest infestations. We begin with a free evaluation, followed by inspection, diagnosis and treatment in a series of sessions.

This Diagram Shows the Areas our Maintainer Pest Control Treatments Address:

Diagram Key

1) Our local experts begin with a complete inspection of the outside of your home, identifying areas where pests may gain entry into your home and environmental conditions that may lead to insect infestations.

2) Your local professionals apply a broad spectrum control to the perimeter and foundation of your home, particularly addressing the areas around doorways, windows and entry points.

3) Lawn Doctor treats areas such as shrubbery, ground covers and mulch where insects like to hide.

4) Our local professionals eliminate spider webs from around doorways and windows.

Your local Lawn Doctor experts know which pests are most common in your area and after inspection, suggest appropriate solutions that go beyond our treatments such as:

• Moving firewood piles farther from the house
• Sealing cracks around windows and doors
• Cleaning up garbage areas
• Identifying sources of excessive foundation moisture (such as a poorly directed downspout)

Sealing entry points around the home and eliminating places where insects may harbor is key to controlling future infestations. Let your local Lawn Doctor become your Perimeter Pest Control company of choice.

Targeted Pest Control – Custom Care Services

To target bugs before they become a threat to the house, we can treat the yard for pests as well, since many bugs live and breed in the lawn before seeking out inside spaces. See our Lawn and Yard Custom Care pages for additional yard pest services.

Most homes require a three-service pest control program.
