Protect your home from crawling insects with SavATree’s HomeShield Pest Barrier.

A mild winter often leads to a surge in pest and insect activity come spring—especially ants, spiders, and beetles. These pests seek warmth and food indoors, slipping in through tiny cracks and crevices. SavATree’s HomeShield Pest Barrier service is your first line of defense, designed to stop bugs before they enter your home.

What is HomeShield?

HomeShield is a preventive, perimeter-based insect barrier applied outside your home. This outdoor-only application is safe for soil, lawns, and ornamental plants, while minimizing exposure indoors—no need to treat your living space. It protects against a wide range of common pests including ants, earwings, spiders, scorpions, beetles, crickets, centipedes, sow bugs/pill bugs, and tarantulas.

Tailored by Region

HomeShield services vary by region and local branch. Our Bozeman, MT team can also help control pests like mice, voles, cockroaches, bed bugs, and more. Reach out to us to learn what’s covered in your area.

How does HomeShield work?

We create a shield of protection around your home to stop crawling invaders before they get inside. HomeShield uses a two-part approach:

Perimeter Spray: A protective barrier is applied around the outside of your home to stop pests at the source.
Targeted Baits: Strategically placed baits attract pests and control them where they live—away from your living spaces.

This combination defends your home from ants, spiders, earwigs, beetles, and more—without disrupting your landscape or indoor space.

Why choose HomeShield?

Outdoor Application, Indoor Protection: Stops pests before they get inside.
No Disruption: You don’t need to be home for service.
Kid & Pet Friendly: Applied only outdoors, away from indoor living areas.
Safe for Landscapes: Won’t harm your lawn, flowers, shrubs, or soil.
Seasonal Defense: Multiple visits keep your barrier strong year-round.

Ready for a bug-free home?

If you noticed ant trails, spider webs, or beetles last year—or you're already seeing them this spring—now’s the time to act. Let’s set up an inspection or get your first HomeShield treatment scheduled. Don’t let insects move in—let HomeShield keep them out. Contact us for a consultation.

Erik and team at Sav a Tree did a great job with our Christmas Lights! Our neighbor called and said the entire block looks amazing because of the beautiful lights they put up on our trees and house! Thank you Erik and Team!

I was just leaving for an appointment when the truck pulled up with the technician so I was not home to see what was done. A review of work done was left for me. Happy my trees have had an initial treatment.

Kevin did a first rate job of grinding down the tree stump in our front yard. He was extremely proficient in handling the heavy equipment and finished the job very quickly. His cleanup of our front yard was amazing. Your employees are true professionals. Thank you!

I have had an outstanding experience with SavATree on various projects over multiple years. Robert is exceptionally knowledgeable and always extremely patient in understanding the issues and putting in place very practical, effective solutions. Being a certified arborist, he clearly knows what he’s talking about — no guesswork involved! 5 stars!

As always knowledgeable, efficient and great cleanup! I've used SavaTree since they bought out Ping's Tree Service. SavaTree keeps my old trees, including my 32 year old Blue Spruce, safe and healthy as possible. I appreciate the work and the customer service. Thank you to Botanist Ryan Lough and Justine, head of the work crew for what you did today.

Mr. Amoto Lawn and Tree Service did a wonderful job in our yard this year. Matt heard what we wanted done, and the crew carried out our wishes just as we hoped. We couldn't be more pleased.

We've used Savatree for years because they take such good care of our trees. Today Billy came out and did a preventative treatment for our crabapples. He was polite, friendly and efficient, and I've found that to be true of all of the employees when they come out. It's nice to deal with a company whose employees have such a good attitude!
