If you're seeing millipedes, centipedes, ants, spiders, pill bugs, earwigs, or other crawling insects making their way into your home, your foundation may be providing the perfect entry point.

Our exterior perimeter treatments are designed to reduce crawling insect populations before they enter your living space, helping you enjoy a cleaner, more comfortable home throughout the year.
Whether you're dealing with a seasonal surge of millipedes after heavy rain or recurring ant and spider activity, our customized foundation spray services provide dependable protection where pests begin.
What Is a Foundation Spray?
A foundation spray is a professional exterior perimeter treatment applied around the base of your home and other key entry points where crawling insects are most likely to travel.
Rather than waiting until pests invade your home, foundation sprays create a protective barrier that helps stop many insects before they get inside.
Our treatments target common pest activity around:
- Foundations
- Exterior walls
- Doorways
- Garage entrances
- Window wells
- Crawl space vents
- Utility penetrations
- Patios
- Sidewalk edges
- Porch foundations
This proactive approach helps reduce indoor pest problems while addressing insect activity outside.

Central New York's changing seasons and periods of wet weather can lead to increased activity from crawling insects. Moisture-loving pests often gather around foundations before entering homes in search of shelter.

- Spiders
- Earwigs
- Pill bugs (roly-polies)
- Sow bugs
- Crickets

Every property is different, so we tailor our treatment plan to your home's specific conditions and pest concerns.
Why Are Millipedes Invading My Home?
Millipedes thrive in cool, damp environments and often become more noticeable after periods of rain or high humidity.
They commonly enter homes through:
- Foundation cracks
- Basement walls
- Door thresholds
- Garage doors
- Window gaps
- Crawl space vents
- Utility openings
While millipedes don't bite, sting, or damage your home, large numbers indoors can quickly become a frustrating nuisance.
Professional foundation treatments help reduce outdoor populations before they migrate inside.
Common Signs You Need a Foundation Spray
You may benefit from a professional perimeter treatment if you notice:
- Millipedes inside your basement
- Ant trails entering your home
- Spiders around windows and doors
- Earwigs in bathrooms or kitchens
- Pill bugs near foundation walls
- Crawling insects after rainfall
- Seasonal pest activity every spring or fall
- Bugs gathering near exterior lights
- Frequent insects in garages or crawl spaces
Addressing the problem early can help prevent larger infestations later.

Frequently Asked Questions
What insects does a foundation spray help control?
Foundation sprays are designed to reduce many common crawling pests, including millipedes, ants, spiders, centipedes, earwigs, pill bugs, crickets, silverfish, and other occasional invaders.
Will a foundation spray keep millipedes out of my house?
While no treatment can guarantee every insect will stay outside, a professionally applied perimeter treatment significantly reduces the number of millipedes and other crawling pests entering your home.
How often should foundation sprays be applied?
Many homeowners benefit from seasonal applications, especially during the spring and fall when crawling insect activity tends to increase. We'll recommend a schedule based on your property and pest pressure.
Are foundation sprays safe for my family and pets?
We use professional products according to label directions and provide clear guidance about any temporary precautions following treatment.
Why do I have so many bugs after it rains?
Rain forces many insects out of saturated soil and mulch, causing them to seek higher, drier ground—including your home's foundation and interior.
Can foundation sprays help with spiders?
Yes. Because spiders feed on other insects, reducing the insect population around your home often helps reduce spider activity as well.
Protect Your Home Before Crawling Insects Move Inside
Millipedes, ants, spiders, earwigs, and other crawling insects often begin their journey around your home's foundation. By creating a professional protective barrier where pests enter, you can reduce infestations before they become an indoor problem.
