When you schedule a pest control service, one common question that often comes to mind is: where exactly will the technicians spray? Knowing this can help you better prepare your home and understand how the treatment keeps pests away. Pest control professionals focus on specific areas both inside and outside your home to create an effective barrier that helps eliminate pests and prevent future infestations.

Pest control often starts outside your home because many pests enter through small gaps, cracks, and openings. Technicians will spray around the foundation of your house, near windows, doors, and other potential entry points. By treating the perimeter, they can stop pests before they even make it inside. This step helps create a shield, reducing the chances of bugs, rodents, or other critters finding their way in.

Inside the Home: Targeting Common Pest Areas

After securing the exterior, pest control professionals move indoors to focus on key areas where pests are known to hide or gather. Some of the most commonly treated areas inside your home include:

• Kitchens: Kitchens are a prime spot for pests like ants, cockroaches, and pantry moths due to the presence of food. Technicians will often spray around baseboards, under appliances, and inside cabinets to address and prevent infestations.

• Bathrooms: Pests like silverfish and drain flies are attracted to the moisture in bathrooms. Treatment typically involves spraying around drains, under sinks, and near pipes to target these water-loving pests.

• Bedrooms and Living Rooms: While these areas may not see as much pest activity, if you have problems with fleas, bed bugs, or other pests, professionals will spray around mattresses, carpets, and furniture to keep them at bay.

• Attics and Basements: These less-visited parts of your home can be a haven for pests like spiders, rodents, and termites. Technicians will often spray around the edges and entry points of these areas to stop infestations from spreading.

Specialized Areas

Depending on the specific pest problem, professionals may also treat more specialized areas, such as:

• Cracks and Crevices: Pests often hide in small, hard-to-reach places like wall voids or gaps behind appliances. Spraying into these spaces helps eliminate bugs that are difficult to see but can cause significant issues over time.

• Crawlspaces and Foundations: For certain pests, such as termites or ants, the crawlspace or foundation of your home might need attention. Spraying these areas can help protect the structure of your home from damage.

Outdoor Structures

If you have sheds, garages, or other outdoor buildings, these structures may also be treated. Pests like mice, wasps, and spiders often find shelter in these places, so spraying inside and outside these areas can help keep them pest-free.

When pest control comes to your home, they target specific areas that pests frequent both inside and outside the house. From the exterior foundation and entry points to kitchens, bathrooms, and even wall voids, every spot treated helps create a safer, pest-free environment. By understanding where pest control professionals spray, you can better prepare your home and ensure long-lasting results
