Residential pest control in St. Michaels
St. Michaels is a residential community, and most of our work here is in homes. The mix of older properties and newer construction means we see a wide range of pest problems. Scorpions and rodents are the top calls, followed by termites and cockroaches. Families here want treatments that are safe for kids and pets, and they want the problem solved, not just sprayed. We run quarterly service plans for most homes, with monthly options during peak season. Every visit includes a perimeter treatment, interior crack-and-crevice work, and monitoring.
- Quarterly pest control plans โ Our quarterly plan covers ants, spiders, crickets, and cockroaches with a full exterior perimeter treatment and interior spot work. We monitor with glue boards and bait stations between visits. Most St. Michaels homes see a significant drop in pest activity after the first two visits. The plan includes a warranty between services.
- Scorpion exclusion and treatment โ Scorpions are the top concern for St. Michaels homeowners. We treat the exterior perimeter, seal weep holes and door gaps with exclusion mesh and caulk, and set glue boards to monitor activity. This is a two-part fix: kill the existing population and stop the next one from getting in.
- Rodent exclusion and trapping โ Roof rats and pack rats are common in St. Michaels attics and garages. We seal entry points with steel wool and copper mesh, set snap traps along travel paths, and treat for the fleas and mites that come with rodents. Most jobs take two visits to confirm the attic is clear.
- Termite inspections and treatment โ Slab-on-grade construction in St. Michaels gives termites easy access through expansion joints and plumbing penetrations. We use termite detection devices and thermal imaging cameras to find activity, then treat with liquid termiticides or bait systems. Annual inspections are recommended for homes in the area.
