What is the correct order of areas to spray in the standard treatment sequence?

• A. Eaves
• B. Base
• C. Yard
• D. Eaves, Base, Yard

Answer: (D)

Think about how the standard treatment sequence is designed to intercept pests where they start and to build a protective barrier step by step. Spraying the eaves first targets pests at entry points and above-ground harborage, reducing the chance they’ll move toward the home or enter interior spaces. Next, treating the base along the foundation creates a continuous barrier right at the perimeter, preventing pests from crossing from outside into the structure. Finally, applying to the yard addresses outdoor pest activity and lowers the overall population near the home, helping prevent re-entry from behind the outer perimeter. This order—Eaves, Base, Yard—works together to maximize effectiveness and safety.
