Pest Control in Elkridge MD

Miche Pest Control provides extermination services that get rid of ants, spiders, cockroaches, and more from homes and businesses in Elkridge, MD. We get rid of pests fast by using a combination of highly effective treatment methods, using the best products available for the specific pests that you're seeing. Our most popular plan in Maryland is our quarterly pest control service. Included in each quarterly service from Miche Pest Control:

• Spider Web Removal

• Wasp & Hornet Nest Removal

• 4 to 6 Foot Barrier Spray For Crawling Insects

• 10 Foot Granular Barrier To Push Bugs Away From The Home

• Detailed Crack & Crevice Treatments

This service is designed to be thorough enough on the outside that you shouldn't need inside treatment, but the inside is always included when needed and/or requested. We use products that are registered with the EPA, and labeled for use in and around homes, hospitals, day cares, and pet kennels. The first service gets rid of any current pest issues, and immediately starts working to keep pests from coming back after they've been eliminated. A few months later, once the products break down and egg sacs start hatching, the pests usually come back - that's why we do four services per year, and more if you need. If you're having issues with covered pests in between regular services, just let us know and as needed, we'll go back out in between services at no extra cost.

According to the Health Department of Howard County, the type of rat most commonly found in Elkridge MD is the Norway rat, though it may be referred to as a brown rat, house rat, sewer rat, wharf rat or barn rat. Norway rats have bodies that are 7 to 10 inches long, with tails between 6 and 8 inches long. They have coarse hair that is usually brown or dark grey, with lighter-colored fur on their bellies.

Norway rats in Elkridge MD can be vectors for Typhus, Leptospirosis, Trichinosis, Salmonellosis, and Rat Bite Fever, among other diseases.

Norway rats are peri-domestic, which means they like to live close to people. They burrow to make nests underneath buildings, beneath concrete slabs, along stream banks, around ponds, in garbage dumps, and any other location that can provide enough food, water, and shelter. These rats rarely venture more than 150 feet from their nest, but can frequently be found searching for food 100 to 150 feet from their nest.

A rat infestation is a violation of the Howard County Code, Section 12.110. The responsibility for the abatement of rats belongs to the person who owns or rents the property on which the infestation exists.

Rodents such as mice and rats are some of the most common property-invading pests throughout Virginia and Maryland. To keep rodents out of your Elkridge home or business, implement the following rodent prevention tips:

• Remove pet food from the floor and store it away when not in use.

• Clean up crumbs off of your counters and out from under heavy appliances.

• Equip your trash bins with tight-fitting lids and store them away from your exterior walls.

• Remove potential entry points by sealing cracks and crevices with caulk or steel wool.

• Reduce clutter on the interior and exterior of your property to minimize possible hiding places. 

• Store leftover food items in plastic containers or the refrigerator.

Rodents multiply quickly, which is why professional rodent control services are vital. Protect your Elkridge home or business from rodents by reaching out to us at Miche Pest Control.

Elkridge is an unincorporated community and census-designated place (CDP) in Howard County, Maryland. Founded early in the 18th century, Elkridge is located at the confluence of three counties, the other two being Anne Arundel and Baltimore counties. Elkridge is located in the eastern corner of Howard County, bordered to the north by Ilchester, to the northwest by Columbia, to the southwest by Jessup, to the southeast by Anne Arundel County, and to the northeast, across the Patapsco River, by Halethorpe (part of the Arbutus CDP) in Baltimore County.

Elkridge's main corridor is defined by Washington Boulevard, a historical road traveled by George Washington and known for "Dead Man's Curve" during early automotive travel. Interstate 95 forms the northwestern edge of the Elkridge census-designated place, and Interstate 895 crosses the northern corner of the community. Interstate 195 passes just east of Elkridge, with access from its Exit 3 with Washington Boulevard. Maryland Route 100 runs through the southern part of Elkridge, providing access to Ellicott City and Glen Burnie. The Baltimore-Washington Parkway travels just to the east of Elkridge, and will eventually include an interchange with Hanover Road, providing another method of travel to Elkridge from the south.

Elkridge includes a range of recreational areas throughout the town. Patapsco Valley State Park runs along the Patapsco River in North Elkridge, with entrances on Landing Road, River Road, and South Street in nearby Relay. Rockburn Branch Park in West Elkridge provides athletic fields, playgrounds, and nature trails. Also in West Elkridge, Belmont Manor and Historic Park hosts private events as well as nature programs with the Howard County Conservancy and surrounding schools. Troy Park is under construction surrounding Troy Hill Manor.
