Garden Soon provides pest barrier spray in Industry, Beaver County — $85–$125 per visit for most residential properties. Industrial-era housing stock on modest lots is the defining character of the borough. We treat the full foundation perimeter in Industry on every visit: foundation band, door frames, window frames, eaves, and utility penetrations.
It usually starts with ants in the kitchen sometime in May. Not a few — a trail running from the back of the cabinet to wherever they found something worth traveling for. You wipe them up, spray some store stuff, and they come back in a different spot two days later. For a lot of people, that's when they call us. For others, it's the wolf spiders that show up in the basement every September without fail, or the earwigs turning up in the bathroom in wet weather, or the centipedes that appear on the wall when the nights start cooling off. These aren't emergencies, but they're annoying enough that people stop putting up with them. The common thread is that these insects are coming in from outside — finding gaps around windows, under doors, through utility penetrations — and a properly applied perimeter treatment interrupts that entry cycle before it gets going. That's what we're set up to do.
For Industry specifically: river proximity moderates extremes throughout the year. Green-up in early April is typical; first frost mid-October. Summer humidity near the Ohio River creates conditions favorable for fungal disease in dense turf, particularly in areas with reduced air circulation.
Each visit covers the full exterior foundation perimeter — three feet up the wall and three feet out on adjacent soil or mulch — plus all door frames, window frames at ground level, utility penetrations, eaves, and garage door frames. Interior treatment is not included in the standard service and would be a separate add-on for severe indoor activity. Rodent control, bed bug treatment, active wasp nest removal from wall voids, and subterranean termite treatment are not part of this service and require different approaches.
Before we come out, customers usually describe the same few things: ants appearing along the kitchen counter in spring, spiders in the corners of windows, or earwigs showing up in the bathroom after heavy rain. We ask about pets so we can plan dry-time communication, and whether there's anything specific they've noticed — entry points, concentrated activity in one area. On treatment day, we walk the perimeter, apply the product to all the key zones, and typically wrap up within 45 minutes. Pets and kids should stay off exterior surfaces until they're dry — 30 to 60 minutes in normal conditions. In the two to four weeks after the first treatment, some customers notice they're seeing more insects than before, or finding dead ones along the foundation. That's expected and it's a sign the product is working — insects are contacting the treated surface as they move through it. Activity typically drops noticeably after that initial period. We ask customers to give it a full two to three weeks before drawing conclusions, and to let us know if they're still seeing heavy indoor activity after that window, because there may be an entry point we should revisit.
Per-visit pricing for the quarterly program lands between $85 and $125, with the range reflecting property size — a smaller ranch with a simple foundation footprint costs less than a large two-story with multiple structure attachments and a long garage. Customers who sign up for the quarterly program pay $300 to $450 for the full year of four visits. One-time single treatments outside of a program are available at $110 to $140 per visit. For properties with a significant existing pest issue at the first visit, we sometimes assess a first-time knockdown fee of $50 to $100 on top of the standard rate — that's for situations where we're dealing with an established ant trail or heavy perimeter activity that requires more product and more time to address properly. Interior crack-and-crevice treatment is a separate add-on and is priced based on the scope of indoor activity. Rodent control, termite treatment, and wasp nest removal are separate services not included in barrier spray pricing.

Once the product dries — typically 30 to 60 minutes after application — it's safe for pets and children to return to the treated areas. We use synthetic pyrethroid products standard in professional pest control. We confirm dry time after each visit and note anything specific worth flagging about your property in Industry.
Timing the spring treatment matters more in Beaver County than people often expect. River-adjacent properties see ant activity start earlier in spring because of moisture and the way the river corridor warms, and getting the first application down before ants have already established indoor trails makes the treatment considerably more effective than waiting until you're already seeing them inside. We aim to get spring visits in April for Beaver County customers rather than waiting until May.
A single visit runs $85 to $125 for most homes, and the quarterly program — four visits per year — is $300 to $450 annually. One-time treatments without a seasonal program run $110 to $140. Properties with heavy existing pest activity at the first visit may have an additional knockdown fee of $50 to $100 for that initial application.
Once the product is fully dry — typically 30 to 60 minutes after application — it's safe for pets and children to be back in the treated areas. We use synthetic pyrethroid products that are standard in professional pest control, and the main precaution is keeping pets and kids off treated exterior surfaces during that drying window. We'll confirm dry time when we finish each visit.
A lot of our pest barrier spray customers have vegetable gardens, and the first thing they ask is whether the spray is safe near their food plants. It's a fair question and we take it seriously. Most of what we use for perimeter barriers is formulated to dry on hard surfaces and stay well away from edible crops — but where exactly the beds are, how close the treatment zone runs, and what's planted matters. Those conversations about garden layout and proximity often turn into broader discussions about what's working in the garden and what isn't.
Most customers who schedule pest barrier spray in Industry also use at least one of these services:
Year-round turf health — fertilization, weed control, grub prevention, and winterizer timed to the growing season.
Weekly or biweekly mowing with edge trimming and blowdown. We cut at the right height for cool-season turf and adjust for growth rate.
One-time reclamation for neglected or jungle properties. We bring equipment rated for heavy material and haul everything out.
Spring and fall cleanup — leaf removal, debris, bed edging, ornamental cutbacks, and disposal.
Vegetable garden design, site assessment, planting plans, and seasonal coaching.
