The most important part of keeping your home pest free is to have the exterior perimeter of your property treated. This includes perimeter structures, pavers, patio area, front door area, etc. Having those areas treated for barrier protection against insects will keep them out of your South Florida Home.

The barrier protection can come in a liquid or granular form. Using a liquid application will leave a residule on the application area that will serve as a protective barrier against insects. The granular application is very effective in South Florida. Granular pellets have an extended release formula and is activated with water. This means even when it rains the granules will keep your home protected.

Most insects are coming from the outside and crossing over to the inside of your home. Having a residual protection on the perimeter structures a very important part of pest prevention. The granular application spreads pellets along the perimeter of the home. Combing those two types of barrier protection has proven results for many years, especially in the South Florida area. Good perimeter applications yield such great results, that when performed correctly the interior of the home will not even need to be treated.

.The first thing to do when insects have crossed to the inside of your home is to identify the areas of concern. Once that is completed the source causing the issue will be easier to trace. When the source has been identified and removed the treatment process should follow immediately after, for the best results. Our technicians are trained to strategically install baits & traps in the areas of concern to target the problem. Usually, when an infestation is present and baits have been installed, the insect nest will become agitated and you will start to see an increase in activity. It may take a couple services but once the problem is under control and pests are not active on the interior, you may not need it treated in the traditional fashion. When the perimeter is properly treated it will only need limited spraying and strategic baiting for the most effective results.

If there is no active problem on the interior it may not need to be treated as often. Under the condition that the perimeter is properly treated, the interior will only need strategic spraying, baiting, and trapping when insect activity is present.

Keeping up with routine perimeter services is the proven method for keeping insects out of your South Florida home. Frequent rain storms often wash away liquid applications after a while and its important to regularly have you perimeter treated to keep up your barrier protection against insects. The South Florida weather plays a crucial role for insect activity, making it a year-round season for insect activity. Not to mention the life cycles of insects are very quick and new insects are born every seven days. If a perimeter barrier is not properly maintained it will provide easier access for insects to cross into the inside of your South Florida home.
