It’s Sean from LOCAL Bug Guy again!

We’ve been providing pest control services in California and Utah for years now. That means we’ve developed a strong system to keep your home safe from common pests.

We want to give you a little peek of how we make our five-star pest control services happen. The following are our six barriers for protecting your home from pests, including spiders, ants, wasps, and more.

Barrier One: The Foundation

We lay the foundation of pest control with the (you guessed it) foundation. You’ve probably sprayed your foundation with a typical store bought product like Ortho Home Defense. Good. Treating your home’s foundation makes a huge difference in providing long-lasting pest control.

When we treat your foundation for pests, we use our EPA-approved pesticide to spray around your foundation’s edge to create a barrier pests don’t want to cross. This effort alone covers a great deal of creepy crawlies that will try to get into your home through the tiniest cracks.

Barrier Two: The Eaves

Eaves are great because they can help protect the sides of your home from snow and rain. But these are also spots that wasps and spiders love to call home.

LOCAL Bug Guy technicians are trained to inspect eaves carefully for wasp nests or spider webs, using special products to get rid of them and make sure they don’t come back.

Barrier Three: The Yard

You don’t just live inside your home. During the warm months, you’re more than likely spending time in the yard playing games, hosting barbecues, or just generally enjoying time with your family.

Your LOCAL Bug Guy technician will pass through your front yard and backyard looking for signs of ants, wasps, and black widows. Our reps know what signs to look for to ensure your yard stays a safe place to gather and play.

Your home's yard is where a lot of bugs can make their home.

Barrier Four: The Fence Line

You might be wondering, “The fence line? Why all the way out to the fence line?” Because we want to protect you from your neighbor's pests as well. When we treat the fence line, it keeps any potential pests your neighbor has from creeping their way to your place.

Barrier Five: The Garage

Pests love your garage. There are lots of places to hide, and it’s shielded from the elements. Garages are especially popular for spiders and cockroaches.

We recommend getting your garage treated for pests on our first visit. This will help keep the black widows away and make your garage a safer place.

Barrier Six: The Home’s Interior

We only do this when it’s needed, but treating your home’s interior provides an added measure of cleanliness.

Some people are tempted to treat the inside of their home when they find pests inside. But sometimes, when you spray the interior of your home, you can actually create a barrier that keeps pests in. Our highly trained pest control techs will look for the signs to make sure your home’s interior is treated properly.
