Need to spray ahead of the season for bugs. Do you spray outside around perimeter etc first OR do you spray inside first?

Re: When you spray bug spray

If I spray outside, I can often avoid spraying inside at all.

Re: When you spray bug spray

We have a service and they only spray outside unless we are seeing ants or something inside - then they treat that with those little puffers.

I never spray inside unless I've already found some ants (or whatever) inside the house.  I already know where they come in (back door off of kitchen), so I periodically spray around the door jam, but especially at the bottom of the door on the outside.  That seems to keep them out.

@goldensrbest  Yes, I spray outside at the base of the back door and around the door jams, because that's where I've seen them trying to come in (ants).  You have to respray after a rain, of course, but it works for me.

We have monthly service with Dodson Pest Control; we treat the perimeter, garage and basement, but NO inside spraying.
