What is a perimeter pest?

Perimeter pests enter buildings throughout the year with the intent of finding a sheltered place in order to survive the frigid temperatures. Think ants, cockroaches, and spiders, oh my! Mosquito Joe of Metro East IL now offers services to help prevent and remove these nasty critters from inhabiting your home.

What pests we’ll treat for:

  • Crickets
  • Ants
  • Cockroaches
  • Spiders
  • Millipedes
  • Centipedes
  • Pill bugs
  • Stink bugs

How does our treatment work?

Our certified and trained technicians will start with a thorough inspection to identify any areas where these pests could harbor and take shelter. This allows us to make accurate and thoughtful recommendations about sealing cracks and holes that may contribute to infestations. We’ll then treat your foundation, eaves, windows, doors, flower beds, and likely spider webs with our solution and state-of-the-art compressed air sprayer. Our technicians will take it a step further and treat all cracks and crevices of your home.

When do I need to worry about perimeter pests?

It’s best to schedule your perimeter pest service prior to the temperature falling below 55 degrees to avoid overwintering. What is overwintering you might ask? This means these pests will seek warm shelter in or around your home and survive the winter. I think we can all agree these are not the ideal tenants to be moving in but don’t worry. Mosquito Joe of Metro East IL can help!

Just like our mosquito control services, all perimeter pest services can be scheduled at your convenience and around your schedule. Simply give us a call at 618-215-3785 or fill out the quote request form for more information or for a free quote.
