I had Green T Lawn Care treat my lawn for 2 years and then stopped last year to save money - not because their service was expensive but just had other needs to focus on that year. My yard looked terrible for the year I stopped their services. I just started using them again and it already looks 1000 times better like it used to. The techs are professional and give great explanation to any questions I have. I will never cancel .

What a great company! My lawn wasn't looking too good last year. I tried TruGreen with not very good results. I saw the reviews for Green T Lawn Care and decided to give them a try. Am I glad I did! My yard hasn't looked this good in many years. They take their time and do a great job making sure your entire yard is treated. I highly recommend them!

Fabulous service! Joe and John make a great team. I like that they shared what they were doing, how it was going to be applied, the instructions to follow to get the best results. I appreciate their knowledge and skills. They went above and beyond to accommodate the client. Thank you for the great service. Highly recommend them for a beautiful lawn done the right way 🙂

How did you hear about us?

How can we help you?

Don't bug out. Let's answer your questions about perimeter pest control.

What exactly is perimeter pest control and how does it work?

Perimeter pest control targets the outer edges of your property, creating a barrier that pests can’t cross. It keeps insects like spiders, ants, and cockroaches away. Technicians treat the first few meters around the perimeter of your house, focusing on areas where pests love to hide. This deals with pests before they have a chance to come inside.

Is perimeter pest control safe for pets and children?

Absolutely. As your trusted local lawn care company, safety is our top priority. The products we use for perimeter pest control are tough on bugs, but gentle on your family and pets. This way, your treatments will dry quickly and are safe. Just to be extra cautious though, it’s a good idea to keep pets and children inside during application and for a short period after.

How often should perimeter pest control be applied?

To maintain a strong barrier against pests, plan out treatments every 35 days during peak seasons. This makes sure that the protective barrier around your home stays intact, especially during warmer months when pests like mosquitoes, ticks, and fleas are most active.

Can perimeter pest control help with mosquito and tick problems?

Definitely! Mosquitoes and ticks can ruin your outdoor fun and bring health risks. The right perimeter pest control treatments will significantly reduce these pests around your home. By targeting areas where mosquitoes breed and ticks hide, you can decrease their numbers, making your garden a safer place for family activities.

What types of pests does perimeter pest control target?

You can use a perimeter pest control service to deal with a wide range of insects that are common around homes: ants, spiders, cockroaches, earwigs, and fleas. It stops these critters from crossing into your home, so you can enjoy a pest-free indoor environment without unwanted guests.

Will I see immediate results after the first perimeter pest control treatment?

You might notice less pest activity shortly after the first treatment, but it usually takes a couple of applications to see significant results. Pests like ants and spiders can be persistent, so consistency is key to keeping them out for good.

What should I do to prepare my garden for perimeter pest control?

To get the most out of each treatment, clear your garden of any debris like leaf litter and stacked wood. Also, trim bushes or tree branches that touch your house to stop pests from sneaking in.

Are there any natural alternatives to perimeter pest control chemicals?

If you prefer a more natural approach, there are different methods you can consider. Planting pest-repelling plants, like lavender and marigold, can help deter insects. Also, maintaining a clean yard, removing standing water, and keeping grass cut can naturally reduce pest populations.

What happens if it rains after you've applied the perimeter pest control treatment?

Don’t worry about a little rain washing away your bug shield. Treatments are designed to withstand moderate rain once they’ve dried, which usually takes about an hour. If it rains immediately after application, you can request a follow-up to make sure your perimeter is effectively protected.

How can I ensure the perimeter pest control remains effective between visits?

Keeping your garden tidy is important. Remove standing water and seal up cracks and gaps in your home’s exterior. You can also manage your landscape to remove pest hiding spots. Regular maintenance supports the treatments and helps prevent new pests from settling in.
