A Seasonal Barrier Where Embers Land
In a wind-driven fire, embers can travel well ahead of the flames and land on dry plants, decks, and fences right next to your home. Our seasonal spray program coats those high-risk surfaces with a professionally applied, non-toxic fire retardant so they’re harder to ignite. It’s one layer of a plan, and it works best alongside Zone 0 cleanup and home hardening.
What We Treat and Why It Matters
Near-Home Vegetation
We treat shrubs, grasses, and ornamental plants close to the house, where one ember can become a flame against your wall.
Decks, Fences & Wood Attachments
Wood that ties into the house can carry fire straight to it. We scope which decks, fences, and trim on your lot need coverage.
Timed for Fire Season
We schedule applications ahead of peak Santa Ana weather. Spray is seasonal, so we’ll recommend when to reapply based on weather and your property.
Non-Toxic Products
We use non-toxic products meant for occupied homes and landscaping, and your assessment confirms the right fit for your surfaces and plants.
Documented for Insurance
Every visit is logged with dates, notes, and photos you can share when a broker or carrier asks for proof of mitigation.
Pairs with a Defense System
Spray goes on ahead of time. A remotely activated defense system adds active protection when you’ve already evacuated.

Spray makes the most sense when your home sits near wildland fuel and you want protection in place before the worst weeks of the year.
- Homes in high fire hazard areas of San Diego, LA, Orange, and Riverside counties
- Properties with wood decks, fences, or dense plants near the house
- Owners facing non-renewal or a broker asking for documented mitigation
- HOAs and property managers who need a repeatable seasonal program
Spray doesn’t replace clearing Zone 0 or fixing vents. It works alongside them.
Spray, Defense System, or Both?
Spray is a seasonal coat with no permanent hardware. A wildfire defense system is installed off-grid and activated remotely when fire gets close. Many homeowners start with spray and add a system later. Your assessment shows which fits.

What Is Fire Retardant Spray?
Fire retardant spray is a coating applied to vegetation and exterior surfaces around a home to make them harder to ignite from embers and radiant heat during wildfire season. Ember Pro’s version is a professionally applied, non-toxic product used on a seasonal schedule. It’s a temporary barrier, not a permanent system, so it’s reapplied as recommended and paired with Zone 0 cleanup, home hardening, and, when it fits, a remotely activated wildfire defense system.
Fire Retardant Spray FAQ
How long does fire retardant spray last?
It’s seasonal. Weather, rain, and irrigation wear it down over time, so we set a reapplication schedule for your property and let you know when it’s time.
Is it safe around kids, pets, and plants?
We use non-toxic products meant for occupied homes and landscaping, and we confirm the right product for your plants and surfaces during the assessment.
Can spray replace a wildfire defense system?
Not really. Spray is applied ahead of time, while a defense system is installed and activated remotely when fire is near. Many homes use both. Compare the defense system.
Will spray help with my insurance?
It can help. Insurers often look for documented mitigation, and our application records add to that file. No treatment guarantees a renewal or a rate.
