Ants, roaches & spiders at the foundation

Low-Toxicity Perimeter Barrier

Keeps pests outside, before they find the kitchen.

Every quarter we band the foundation, siding and entry points that odorous house ants, smoky brown roaches, spiders and camel crickets use to get in. Once it dries, the treated areas are safe for kids and pets.

Pests already indoors

Targeted Gels & Baits

Placed where pests travel, not sprayed across the room.

Charlotte's humid summers push roaches and ants toward water, so we place low-odor gels and baits in moisture zones like kitchens, bathrooms and basements. It takes less product, leaves little odor, and you don't have to leave the house.

Fire ants, fleas & ticks in the yard

Pollinator-Friendly Yard Treatment

Applied away from blooms where bees and butterflies feed.

Fire ants keep pushing into Mecklenburg County. We treat turf and mulch beds for fire ants, fleas and ticks and keep product away from flowering plants, so mounds stay off the lawn and pollinators stay safe.

Low-Toxicity Perimeter Barrier

What do we do?

We apply a low-toxicity barrier along the foundation, siding and entry points that Charlotte's odorous house ants, spiders and smoky brown roaches use to get inside. It goes on as a band at the edges of the house, not across the whole lot. You can read more about our exterior pest control service.

How often do we come?

Quarterly, with each visit running 30 to 60 minutes. You don't need to be home for the exterior.

Why is our solution better?

Stopping pests at the perimeter means far less product goes indoors. Once it's dry the barrier is kid-friendly and pet-friendly, and we choose formulas that go easy on the beneficial insects around your home.

How much does it cost?

Pricing depends on your property size and the plan you choose. Get an online quote or call Charlotte at 704-396-5582. If you only need help with one specific pest, see our eco-friendly exterminator page.

Targeted Gels & Baits

What do we do?

We treat interior moisture zones and hiding spots, mostly kitchens, bathrooms and basements, with low-odor gels and baits placed in cracks and along baseboards.

How often do we come?

Light activity usually clears in one visit. Active roach or ant infestations typically need 2 to 3 follow-up visits spaced 2 weeks apart.

Why is our solution better?

Humid Charlotte summers send pests to water first, so that's where we start. Bait reaches the nest instead of the one bug you saw, uses far less product than a room-wide spray, and nobody has to empty a cabinet.

Pollinator-Friendly Yard Treatment

What do we do?

We treat turf and mulch beds for fire ants, fleas, ticks and aphids, and we keep the application off blooming plants where bees and butterflies feed. See our flea and tick yard treatment and pet-friendly lawn care pages for more.

How often do we come?

On a seasonal schedule through Charlotte's warm months, with visits of 30 to 60 minutes. If activity picks up between visits, we come back and re-treat at no added cost.

Why is our solution better?

Fire ants are pushing into Mecklenburg County, and a recurring program keeps mounds from coming back. Once it dries, the yard is safe for the kids and dogs who use it every day.

Our Commitment

Protecting your home and the good bugs around it

Not every bug in a Charlotte yard is a problem. Bees pollinate your beds, and predators already handle plenty of pests. We target the ones that threaten your home and use materials that meet our standards for human and environmental health, so your kids, your pets and your neighbor's garden stay safe.

General
Questions

Is the treatment safe for kids and pets?

Yes, our treatments are kid-friendly and pet-friendly once dry, as we use a low-toxicity solution designed to minimize risk to your family and the environment.

Will the treatment harm bees, butterflies, or other beneficial insects?

No, our treatments are designed to be pollinator-friendly. We use low-toxicity, eco-friendly solutions that target mosquitoes while minimizing risk to beneficial insects like bees and butterflies.

How soon will I see results?

You will notice an immediate difference after the first treatment, with mosquitoes being killed on contact.

What if mosquitoes return between my scheduled visits?

We offer a no-contract promise. If you notice increased activity before your next service, just let us know and we will return to re-treat your yard at no additional cost.

Do I need to be home during the treatment?

Only if you've asked us to treat inside your home. Most household pest control actually occurs around the perimeter of your home, but if you are noticing any issues inside your home we are happy to inspect and treat as needed. If you've requested an interior treatment, we'll confirm scheduling with you to ensure someone is home for our service.

How is Backyard Care different from national pest control chains?

Local teams provide faster response times, direct communication, and treatments tailored to specific regional pest patterns.

When does your service season run?

Most of our services run spring through fall, with year-round options available. We'll recommend a schedule based on your property and the services you choose.

Can I bundle multiple services together?

Absolutely. Many homeowners combine mosquito control, lawn fertilization, and exterior pest control into one plan. Bundling keeps your whole yard protected and is often the best value.
