Maryland Pest Season Calendar
Subtropical conditions with warm summers, mild winters, and moderate humidity support a wide variety of pests with a long active season. Peak pest season runs March through October.
Spring
Termite swarms begin in early spring — watch for winged insects near windows and lights.
Summer
Heat and humidity drive peak pest populations; monthly exterior treatments help maintain control.
Fall
Overwintering pests seek shelter indoors — seal cracks and gaps before temperatures drop.
Winter
Mild winters keep many pests active; quarterly service maintains effective barriers.

What Customers Are Saying in Maryland
Changed providers BECAUSE they do NOT get to the root of the problem, they send random techs that do not seem skilled in the trade. They come change bait stations, well its like a flat tire every Monday, yes you can fill that tire every week but eventually you need to know the source of the flat tire! They do NOT DO that! The techs do the BARE minimum. So your service just runs in circles and to no resolve. I went with another local provider and the tech had so much knowledge and a game plan and

We take all feedback seriously, and we are sorry that we were unable to resolve your concerns. We hope you keep us in mind for future pest control needs.
All Star Pest Management came right out and quickly resolved our yellow jacket and wasp issue! Each person we were in contact with was kind and knowledgeable. Would recommend and call again! The price for a one-time yellow jacket removal was very reasonable and we appreciated how quickly the dangerous issue was resolved. This issue seems to be common this year (2024), and the companies we called prior to All Star Pest Management said, specifically because they were getting many calls about yello

Franki!, we are soo glad we were here to help!
My sister referred me and I'm so glad she did. Dave came today to inspect our house and I couldn't have asked for a better experience! He went through every room answering all my questions I had about mice. Every time he called something out, he let me take a look at what he was seeing and what he'd be doing to fix it. This really reassured me. The inspection was thorough and he was a wealth of knowledge all while having a positive demeanor which truly exceeded my expectations. As a new homeown

RDS, we're happy you found our staff to be so supportive during your experience here at Ehrlich Pest Control.
I spoke to a very friendly lady and she was so helpful. We needed someone to give us an estimate for termite treatment. We had a home inspection done and they said the house needed treated. She helped answer all my questions and explained how they are done. Scott came out the next day and not only did he not find termites, he found that it was dead ants that the inspector saw. Very honest and friendly... we will refer everyone to them. Thank you both! Just an update... they also helped us find

Thank you Tonya
They saved our cats life. She was stuck inside an air duct under the floor in our house for 30 hours. An HVAC company spent 2 days looking inside our ductwork before giving up. I then called multiple other places to come help but they all said no. But Abracadabra Pest Solutions were willing to give it a try. They spent over 3 hours searching and never gave up. The cat was silent so that made things more difficult. After using a stethoscope and cameras in the air ducts, they finally found her. Sh

Thank you so much Darlene. It was a pleasure working with you and figuring out the issue.
My husband and I slowly but surely found out through the grapevine that the home we purchased was previously treated for a roach issue back from when it was used as a rental. Woody’s seemed to be the original owners choice, and we thought we might as well try if they trusted them and boy are we glad we did. Wayne was INCREDIBLY KIND and just amazing to come out and see us and take care of our concerns to continue with a quarterly treatment plan which is amazingly priced I might add as well and I
