A perimeter spray treats the outside of the home, where most crawling pests start. On the Sunshine Coast, ants, cockroaches, spiders and silverfish live in garden beds, mulch, paving and wall cracks, then move indoors when it rains or the weather changes. Treating the outside walls and entry points helps catch them before they reach the kitchen or bedrooms.
This service suits homes where the pests are mostly outside, or where people want a lighter treatment between full inside and outside visits. It is also popular with landlords who want the outside of a rental treated without disturbing the tenant indoors. When you call, we ask about the size of the block and the type of home, give you upfront pricing and book a nearby independent crew. The crew we book will usually spray:
- The base of outside walls and around weep holes
- Eaves, window frames and door frames
- Garden edges, paths and paving joints
- Fences, garages, sheds and carports
- Pipes, vents and other places pests get in
Stay off treated paths and keep pets out of garden beds until the spray has dried, which usually takes a few hours. Heavy rain soon after a treatment can wash some product away from exposed spots, so the crew may suggest a time that avoids a storm. Keeping mulch pulled back from the walls and trimming plants that touch the house also helps.
Many coast homes book a perimeter spray each spring before the wet season. To book a perimeter pest spray anywhere on the Sunshine Coast, call 07 3543 7764 and we will give you a price first.
