The summer temperatures in Tennessee can get pretty high, and it's nice to be able to go inside to escape the heat and enjoy the air conditioning. Unfortunately, pests such as spiders, earwigs, ants, and more have the same idea and they'll try to make their way into your home or business as the temperatures rise. If you want to keep these pests outside where they belong, your best bet is to schedule perimeter pest control treatments from a reliable pest control company. Before you pull the trigger and hire a company, make sure that they will return to apply their treatments throughout the year because pest control treatments are only effective for so long and need to be reapplied to keep pests out of your home or business all year long.

Pests will try and get inside your home or business to escape the summer heat.

The best way to keep pests out of your home or business is to schedule perimeter pest control treatments.

Seeing pests inside of your home or business can be unnerving, and they can make you feel uncomfortable in places where you should be able to relax. If you're looking to ensure that pests are unable to get inside your property, you'll want to schedule perimeter pest control treatments. When you schedule professional perimeter pest control treatments, a company will come out to your property to create a barrier of protection around your home or business using powerful pesticides to prevent pests from making their way inside. They will create this barrier by spraying a few feet up the side of your foundation and a few feet out onto your lawn to ensure that there are no spots where pests can enter.

Hire a pest control company that will return to reapply treatments throughout the year.

While hiring a professional pest control company to apply perimeter pest control treatments is a great way to keep pests out of your home or business, a single treatment can only keep them out for so long. That's because pesticides start to lose their potency after some time, and they will need to be reapplied to continue providing protection throughout the year. Before you hire a pest control company, make sure that they will return to reapply their treatment before the previous one wears off so that there will never be a lapse in protection. If the company you're thinking about hiring doesn't come out to reapply treatments, it's best to move on from that company and keep looking for one that will.

A typical perimeter pest control treatment is usually effective for about 90 days.
