Healthy Homes Exterminating offers exterior pest control for residents who want an outdoor solution to stop outdoor intruders from entering their homes.
What Is An Exterior Pest Control Plan?
Exterior pest control with an inside as-needed treatment is a great option for families with young children and pets because it does not require the use of any chemicals inside the home unless an interior problem exists. Instead, a chemical barrier is placed around the outside of your home.
At Healthy Homes Exterminating, we use only the best chemicals and products that have been proven to stop pests from moving inside your home. According to OSU extension, certain pests found outside may be eliminated before they enter the home. However, they also said some insects live entirely within the home, where they must be controlled by applying sprays, dust, baits, or aerosol pesticides to areas where they are most frequently found. If the infestation is severe and widespread, it is advisable to employ the services of a pest control company that has pesticides and application equipment not generally available to homeowners.

How Does Exterior Pest Control Work?
As mentioned, exterior pest control involves using chemicals and concentrated products that are applied around the perimeter of the home. The perimeter creates a barrier that most insects and small pests will find deadly to cross. Therefore, as long as the chemical barrier is in place, pests will stay where they belong- outside of your home.
What Type of Pests Does Exterior Pest Control Combat?
Exterior pest control can eliminate a wide variety of pests which include.
- Spiders
- Ants
- Cockroaches
- Wasps
- Scorpions
- Fleas and Ticks
- Crickets
- And many others
If it crawls or squeezes through cracks into your home, the chemical barrier can put an end to the invasion.
How Often Should I Schedule Outdoor Pest Control?
Outdoor pest control is only effective if you make it a routine part of your scheduled home maintenance. Once pests are inside your home, then more extensive measures will need to be taken. The goal of outdoor pest control is to prevent any pests from breaching the perimeter of your home.
It is a good idea to have a routine pest inspection completed before beginning exterior pest control. An inspection will simply ensure that there are no surprise pests already occupying your home. Having an interior treatment before beginning a routine maintenance program would be best.
In terms of frequency, every home has its own pest control needs. At Healthy Homes Exterminating, we use the results of our inspections, the trends of your neighborhood, and your personal preferences to determine the best frequency for Exterior pest control.
