Perimeter Insect Barrier Treatment
What is Perimeter Insect Control?
Perimeter Insect Control is a liquid application of insecticide designed to place a protective barrier around your home.
To help prevent infestation, a barrier of soil four to six feet around the structure, as well as two to three feet up the foundation wall, is treated. These areas are where insects are generally most active and where they may find entrance to your home.
