Miche Pest Control provides extermination services that get rid of ants, spiders, cockroaches, and more from homes and businesses in Germantown, 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 Germantown, MD 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

• Inside Treatment As Needed

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 Chapter 39 of the Montgomery County Code, "It shall be unlawful for anyone to allow their property to be infested with rats or to be in such condition as to contribute to an existing or potential rat infestation." Rat control is important, because rats are known carriers of disease; when they are in close proximity to humans, they are a public health concern. They can damage structures and personal items, potentially causing electrical fires by chewing on wires, and are known to contaminate food supplies. The Health Department of Montgomery County MD lists 4 common signs of rats in Germantown MD:

1. Burrows - Rats create holes in the ground, generally between 2 and 4 inches in diameter.
2. Droppings - Rats have fecal droppings that are rounded to tapered in shape on each end. These droppings are between 3/8 and 3/4 inches long, and 1/4 inch across.
3. Runways - Rats often frequent the same travel areas, creating worn paths in vegetation, close to walls, fences, and walkways as they travel from their nest to the food source(s).
4. Tracks - Rats will sometimes leave footprints in mud, dust, fresh dirt, or snow. Rat footprints are approximately 1/2 inch across, with 5 toes visible in their prints.

Rats only need a half inch opening to gain entry into a home or another structure. For professional rodent control services, give us a call today!

Walk around your property and look for evidence of rat activity. Rats come out at night, so it's best to look outside after dark, with a flashlight. Your goal is to be able to see where the rats are going when you see them, so you can check for burrows during the day.

Look for places where rats can live. Most rats live in nests or burrows. Burrows are holes that are usually made in dirt, though they can be made in concrete. The holes are one to four inches wide, generally with smooth edges. Burrows can be found under bushes and plants, and they will often have both an entrance and an exit hole.

Look for droppings. Rats have relatively good bowel control, and typically don't leave droppings unless they are in or near their nest. If you find droppings that are moist and dark, it is a sign that you are likely near a rat nest.

Look for holes and gnaw marks on wood, and on plastic garbage cans.

Check the walls and grass for signs of rodent runways. Because rats are neophobic (scared of new things), they often travel along the same pathway many times each day, relying as much on muscle memory as they rely on their senses. These runways tend to accumulate dark, greasy marks ("sebum") along walls, and will often wear down paths in the grass.

Miche Pest Control provides rodent control services for mice, rats, and voles in Germantown, MD. We get rid of rodents fast by using a combination of trapping, entry point exclusion, and outside bait stations. Included in your first rodent control service from Miche Pest Control:

• Entry Point Inspection
• Sealing Rodent Entry Points
• Trapping Mice & Rats Inside
• Tamper-Resistant Bait Stations Outside

We use tamper-resistant bait stations combined with products that are registered with the EPA, and labeled for use in and around homes, day cares, and pet kennels. The first service gets rid of any existing rats, mice, or voles, and immediately starts working to keep rodents from coming back after they've been eliminated. A couple months later, once the bait starts to deteriorate or run out and rodent populations start rebounding, mice and rats usually come back - that's why we do six services per year, and more if you need. If you're having issues with rodents in between regular services, just let us know and as needed, we'll go back out in between services at no extra cost.

While mosquitoes are annoying, they’re actually more dangerous than you may think. They’re known as carriers of many lethal diseases, and all it takes is a single mosquito to pass these diseases onto you or your loved ones. With that in mind, use these prevention tips to protect yourself from this dangerous pest:

• Eliminate standing or stagnant water. Still water attracts mosquitoes and brings them closer to your property. Sometimes areas of stagnant water can be difficult to detect. Hollow stumps and logs, tire swings, outdoor pet dishes, kids pools, and birdbaths are severe offenders. 
• Maintain your lawn and shrubbery. Mosquitoes like to dwell in the shade. Cut back branches and bushes, trim grass, and block wooded areas if possible. 
• Plant herbs and other plants that repel mosquitoes such as marigolds, catnip, ageratum, or horsemint. 

Most importantly, contact our experts at Miche Pest Control for help. We will discuss the solutions that you need to take back your backyard. We offer both monthly and one-time treatment options to keep mosquitoes at bay. Specifically, we use backpack fogging to treat areas where mosquitoes commonly dwell. We also offer a growth regulator treatment to prevent immature mosquitoes from growing into biting adults. 

If mosquitoes are becoming an overwhelming problem, professional pest control is your safest option. DIY solutions can’t guarantee successful elimination, but we can.

Seeing a cockroach scurry across your kitchen counter is disgusting, but these pests are far more than a sore sight for your eyes. Cockroaches can spread tons of dangerous, deadly diseases and trigger allergic reactions. Diseases they spread include Salmonellosis, dysentery, gastroenteritis, and cholera. They can trigger allergic reactions through contact, droppings, shed skins, and their dead bodies.

Roaches are difficult to deal with. They hide in damp, dark spaces such as in pipes, basements, corners of cabinets, and other hard to detect locations. They also reproduce quickly and are potential bio-hazards. If you're concerned about a roach infestation, contact Miche Pest Control to do the dirty work. You won’t need to stomp a single roach. We use powder injections, undetectable liquid sprays, gel baits, and growth regulators to take down adult and nymph cockroaches to eliminate the cockroach population. All you have to do is call us – we’ll handle the rest.

Germantown is an urbanized census-designated place in Montgomery County, Maryland. Germantown is the third most populous place in Maryland, after the city of Baltimore, and the census-designated place of Columbia. Germantown is located approximately 25–30 miles outside the US capital of Washington DC and is an important part of the Washington metropolitan area. Despite its size, Germantown has never been incorporated formally as a town or a city. It has no mayor or city council and is thus governed by Montgomery County. The US Department of Energy has its headquarters for the Office of Biological and Environmental Research in Germantown, operating as an administration complex for the US Department of Energy.

Germantown was founded in the early 19th century by European immigrants, though much of the area's development did not take place until the mid-20th century. The original plan for Germantown divided the area into a downtown and six town villages: Gunners Lake Village, Kingsview Village, Churchill Village, Middlebrook Village, Clopper's Mill Village, and Neelsville Village. The Churchill Town Sector at the corner of Maryland Route 118 and Middlebrook Road most closely resembles the downtown or center of Germantown because of the location of the Upcounty Regional Services Center, the Germantown Public Library, the Black Rock Arts Center, the Regal Germantown Stadium 14, and pedestrian shopping that features an array of restaurants. Three exits to Interstate 270 are less than one mile away, the Maryland Area Regional Commuter train is within walking distance, and the Germantown Transit Center that provides Ride On shuttle service to the Shady Grove station of the Washington Metro's Red Line.

Germantown has the assigned ZIP codes of 20874 and 20876 for delivery and 20875 for post office boxes. It is the most populous Germantown in Maryland and is the only "Germantown, Maryland" that is recognized by the United States Postal Service.

Germantown is bisected by Interstate 270, one of Maryland's busiest highways. Northbound traffic heads toward Frederick and Interstate 70 and southbound traffic heads toward Bethesda and the Capital Beltway. Interstate 270 has three exits in Germantown.
