Caring for Your Foundation: Protecting Your Home with Perimeter Barrier Sprays

Perimeter barrier spray protects your home's foundation.

Your home’s foundation is arguably its most important structural component. It supports the entire weight of your house and serves as a barrier from the elements for your basement. That’s why it’s important to take measures to protect your foundation from damage. One way to do this is to use a perimeter barrier spray to ward off insects.

What is a Perimeter Barrier Spray?

A perimeter barrier spray is a type of insecticide that is applied around the perimeter of your home. Lawngevity technicians apply this spray in a three-foot perimeter around your home’s foundation. We also spray window wells and around porches to deter pests. This creates a barrier that helps prevent insects from entering your home. Foundation insect control is effective against a variety of insects, including ants, spiders, and earwigs.

Benefits of Foundation Insect Control

There are many benefits to using a perimeter barrier spray. Some of the benefits include:

  • Creates a Protective Barrier: The spray creates an invisible shield around your home, deterring insects like ants, spiders, roaches, and even some stinging pests from crossing the line.
  • Reduces the Need for Indoor Treatments: By stopping pests before they get inside, you lessen the need for potentially harmful indoor insecticides, which is especially important if you have kids or pets.
  • Year-Round Protection: Professional foundation sprays are designed to last for months, offering consistent defense against seasonal pest pressures.
  • Targets Common Entry Points: Foundation sprays focus on areas where pests are most likely to sneak in – cracks, crevices, and gaps around windows and doors.
  • Protects Your Home’s Structure: Some insects, like termites, can cause significant damage to your foundation. A barrier spray helps prevent costly repairs.

How Often Should I Apply a Perimeter Barrier Spray?

The frequency with which you should apply a perimeter barrier spray will vary depending on a number of factors, including the type of insects you are trying to prevent, the climate you live in, and the severity of the infestation. In general, most perimeter barrier sprays will last for several months.

Lawngevity’s foundation insect control service includes up to seven applications from March through November, each one four to six weeks apart. We notify you before each application so you can make any necessary arrangements, such as unlocking gates and keeping pets inside.

How to Choose a Perimeter Barrier Spray

When choosing a perimeter barrier spray, it is important to select a product that is effective against the types of insects you are trying to prevent. You should also choose a product that is safe for your family and pets.
