Keep Pests Where They Belong: Outside

A beautiful lawn should make your home feel more comfortable, not give pests an easy path to your doors, windows, garage, and foundation. In Virginia, ants, spiders, earwigs, centipedes, millipedes, silverfish, mosquitoes, fleas, and ticks can all become a problem when warm weather settles in.

Virginia Green’s perimeter pest control service helps protect the inside of your home by creating a treated barrier around the foundation. The goal is simple: help repel and deter common crawling pests before they move indoors.

Why Perimeter Pest Control Matters

Most pest problems do not start in the middle of your living room. They often begin outside, around the foundation, mulch beds, lawn edges, entryways, utility openings, windows, and doors.

A perimeter treatment focuses on those exterior areas first. Instead of waiting until pests show up inside, Virginia Green applies treatment around key entry points to help block pest activity before it becomes an indoor issue. For homeowners, that means less guesswork and fewer surprise pest sightings near kitchens, bathrooms, basements, garages, and entryways.

What Virginia Green's Perimeter Pest Control Service Includes

Virginia Green’s Perimeter Pest Control Program is built for seasonal protection during the months when pests are most active. The service creates a barrier around the home’s foundation to help repel and deter crawling pests.

The program targets common pests such as:

• Ants
• Spiders
• Earwigs
• Centipedes
• Millipedes
• Silverfish
• Clearance of Cobwebs
• Other crawling nuisance pests

Our Perimeter Pest Control Program includes six applications spaced throughout the spring and summer months. This ensures that treatments are carefully timed to match peak pest activity.

What About Mosquitoes, Fleas, and Ticks?

Perimeter pest control helps with crawling pests around the foundation, but mosquitoes, fleas, and ticks need their own approach.

Virginia Green additionally offers a mosquito control program that is built to target areas where mosquitoes are most likely to breed and thrive, including the perimeter of the property. The program includes nine applications timed with peak mosquito activity for season-long coverage.

Virginia Green’s flea and tick control program is built to create a barrier on your lawn to help repel fleas and ticks. This program includes five applications spaced throughout the spring and summer months, timed with peak flea and tick activity.

Want all 3, we offer a bundle consisting of mosquito, flea, and tick services.
