Benefits of Green Pest Control
Well, we’re back on the property and I wanted to quickly share with you an example of one of the benefits of our planet-friendly pest control methods.
Today is August 26, and this house has already had two perimeter treatments, two tick treatments, and it’s already had two what we call bee-friendly barrier treatments on the shrubbery. Right here in front of me is a milkweed garden and on it is one of the most favorite insects that this client tries to propagate, which is the monarch butterfly.
There are dozens and dozens of very healthy monarch butterfly caterpillars here. It’s actually very exciting to come back and check all this out and see how healthy this environment is. This client also has lots of other butterflies in many gardens around the home, but their very favorite one is the monarch butterfly.
You know, it is so satisfying to come back to the property and see a healthy population of monarch caterpillars like this, you know, right in a transition zone where we do treatments. Here in a little bit we’re going to see more monarch butterflies. Very, very exciting. I hope you guys have a great rest of your summer. Take care and I’ll see you in the fall.
Bug-Free Home Service FAQs
Common questions about the Eco-Smart Perimeter Protection Plan.
The Eco-Smart Perimeter Protection Plan provides three treatments a year — spring, summer, and fall — creating a protective barrier around your home that targets over 40 common pests like ants and spiders to keep them from getting inside.
Built for homes with pets: we begin with an inspection, address exterior conditions first, and use targeted treatments only where needed. All products are applied according to their labels, which helps limit unnecessary pesticide use and indoor exposure.
The plan focuses on crawling insects, including ants and spiders, and also treats wasp nests attached to your home. Overall, it handles 40+ common household pests.
Usually, interior treatments aren't necessary — the exterior perimeter barrier is designed to stop pests before they enter your home. For specific issues like roaches or bed bugs, additional interior treatment may be required.
Every treatment includes a detailed inspection of your home and yard, removal of exterior spider webs, and a written report highlighting any findings or recommendations.
