Pests Our Perimeter Barrier Targets
- Ants: trails along foundations, patios and sidewalks that lead into kitchens and bathrooms.
- Spiders: webs around eaves, windows, porches and garages.
- Fleas and ticks: a concern for families with pets and kids who spend time in the yard.
- Earwigs: hide in mulch and damp areas near the house and wander in through gaps.
- Chiggers: tiny mites in grassy and overgrown areas that leave itchy bites.
Also dealing with mosquitoes?
Perimeter pest control is for the pests that move from the yard toward your foundation — ants, spiders, fleas, ticks, earwigs and chiggers. Mosquitoes are a different problem. They breed in standing water and rest in shady shrubs, fence lines and low spots after a storm, and they can make evenings outside miserable even when the foundation is treated.
Hometown Turf also offers mosquito control for Indianapolis homes. If biting mosquitoes are the main issue in the yard, ask about adding mosquito service when you request a quote, or see our mosquito control in Indianapolis page. We’ll explain the plan for your property in plain language.
How a Perimeter Barrier Works
Most of these pests live outdoors and come inside looking for food, water or shelter, especially when the weather turns. A perimeter treatment focuses on the zone where yard meets house: the foundation, entry points and the areas around them. Treating that border helps stop pests as they move toward your home, instead of waiting until you find them indoors.
Why Pests Move In Around Indianapolis
Central Indiana’s seasons push pests around. Warm, humid summers bring ants, spiders and chiggers out in force. Heavy spring rain can drive ants and earwigs out of saturated soil, and the first cool nights of fall send many insects looking for shelter along foundations. Mulch beds, leaf piles and dense plantings next to the house give pests a place to hide close to your door.
What to Expect From Service
When you add perimeter pest control, we’ll talk with you about the pests you’ve been seeing and where, whether that’s ants in the kitchen, spiders in the garage or ticks after the kids play in the yard. Treatments focus on the outside of your home and are applied according to product labels. Because many pests are seasonal, ongoing service keeps the barrier working as conditions change through the year, instead of reacting after pests have already moved in.
If you have pets or young children, let us know. We always use the best and safest products we can, and we’re happy to answer questions about what we apply and when.
Help Keep Pests Out
- Pull mulch and leaf litter back a few inches from the foundation.
- Trim shrubs and branches so they don’t touch the house.
- Fix leaky outdoor faucets and clear clogged gutters, since moisture attracts earwigs and ants.
- Seal gaps around doors, windows and utility lines.
- Keep grass mowed, because tall, overgrown areas are where chiggers and ticks wait.
