MEMPHIS, Tenn., July 16, 2020 /PRNewswire/ -- TruGreen, the nation's leading lawn care provider, today announces the launch of its latest service offering, Perimeter Pest – an exterior treatment targeting unwanted bugs and insects where they live and reducing their ability to become a problem inside the home. This new pest control program enhances TruGreen's comprehensive slate of services – amplifying its current pest program, while complementing current lawn and horticultural treatments.

Available in select markets across the nation, Perimeter Pest consists of four seasonal, exterior treatments applied by TruGreen specialists with localized knowledge and science-backed training.

The product targets a variety of pests including ants, boxelder bugs, centipedes, cockroaches, earwigs, kudzu bug, lady beetle, millipedes, mud daubers, stink bugs, paper wasps, scorpions, sow bugs, and spiders.

This new service offering will be available in 72 branches spanning several states across the country, including Alabama, Florida, Illinois, Indiana, Kentucky, Maryland, Michigan, New Jersey, New York, North Carolina, Ohio, Pennsylvania, South Carolina, Texas and Virginia.
