BIG HOUSE, BIGGER BEDS
What a perimeter plan covers on a large Southlake property
The house and a band of ground around it, which on most lots here is a smaller share of the property than owners expect. Home Defender treats the full foundation and three feet up the wall, sweeps eaves, soffits and door frames with a web pole, dusts every brick weep hole with Delta Dust, and broadcasts a granular barrier about 25 feet out. Four visits a year, fire ant bait included, month to month.
Southlake is the one town on our map where that boundary matters most, because a back yard here often carries more planted square footage than an entire lot in some of the towns west of us. Dense, irrigated, shaded ornamental beds are perfect harborage for spiders, roaches, crickets and scorpions, and a great deal of that planting sits well outside the ring.
76092 NUMBERS
What Southlake homes actually pay, and why they sit high
Most land in the top two bands, because the plan is priced on the square footage of the house and houses in 76092 are large. A 4,000 square foot plan is $38 to $46 a month on Home Defender; a 5,200 square foot one is $46 to $54. Anything over 6,000 square feet is quoted individually rather than forced into a band, and plenty of Southlake homes are.
The whole-yard version, Complete Home & Lawn Defense, runs $51.50 to $62 on that 4,000 square foot house and $62 to $73.50 on the 5,200. Neither plan carries a contract, a startup fee or a cancellation fee, retreatment between the four scheduled visits is free, and one interior treatment is included if something has already made it inside.

BE HONEST ABOUT IT
Where a foundation barrier disappoints a Southlake owner
The ring is the weak point on acreage-sized lots. Twenty-five feet from the wall is a real, useful band on a compact lot and a modest fraction of a property backing the Bob Jones corridor. If the biting and the webbing are happening at the far hedge line rather than at the back door, the base plan is not aimed where your problem is.
It is also not a tick program. Properties on the north side pick up ticks and chiggers from the natural areas and the Grapevine Lake corridor in a way most towns near here never deal with, and ticks belong to the Mosquito, Flea & Tick program, billed per visit every 21 days from April through September. Mosquitoes are in that same program and not in this one.
And it does not seal the house. Every weep hole gets dusted on each visit, which does real work, but closing them permanently with copper mesh is a separate add-on. Rats and mice are separate too: rodent control is $25 a month added onto a year-round plan, and it begins with exclusion rather than spray.
MISTER VERSUS BARRIER
You already have a misting system. Does this overlap?
Barely, and that is the useful answer. A misting system fires into the air on a timer and is aimed at flying insects; it does nothing about the ants under the mulch, the scorpions in the weep holes or the wasp nest under the soffit. Those are ground-level, structural problems, and they are what Home Defender is built around.
Where the two genuinely do overlap is the far corners of a big lot, and there the misting system is usually the one falling short, because nozzle lines rarely reach the property line. If you already run one, tell us and we will point out which parts of a plan would be redundant rather than quietly selling you both.

How the technician works a large property
Mapping what you do not want treated
Before anything is applied we want to know where the pollinator plantings and blooming beds are, because we work around them and do not treat flowers in bloom. On a Southlake property with heavy ornamental planting that conversation takes a few minutes and saves arguments later.
The structure itself
Liquid barrier around the whole foundation and three feet up, web pole through eaves, soffits, porch ceilings and door frames, Delta Dust into every weep hole in the bottom course. Long foundation runs are why square footage sets the price.
Out into the beds and turf
Granular product goes about 25 feet out on Home Defender, or across the whole lot if you took the upgrade, and fire ant bait goes down with it. Larger properties take longer on site and the visit is scheduled with that time built in.
