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

• 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.

The common house mouse is a small rodent, grayish-brown with a gray underside, that can become a serious pest in the home. Another mouse that may also be found indoors is the white-footed mouse. Mice become a problem in the fall when the colder weather drives them indoors. Mice feed on a variety of stored foods, particularly seeds and grains, and sugary products. Mice can live without free water because they usually get enough moisture from their food. They are nibblers, and move from food to food causing considerable damage and spoiling the food with their droppings and urine. They also damage insulation in the walls and ceilings by tunneling through it. Mice must gnaw to keep their constantly growing teeth trimmed. They may do damage to electrical wire insulation and cause fires.

The most common rat in Laurel is the Norway Rat, also known as the sewer, barn or wharf rat. It came to North America on ships from Europe by early settlers. The Norway Rat's color is typically brownish gray, although some may be reddish. It can grow to over a foot long including the tail and weigh over a pound. Norway rats live in close association with people, and spread filth and human sickness. They nest in burrows dug under buildings, walks, around ponds and in garbage dumps. They occasionally will burrow in back yard compost piles that contain a source of food such as table scraps. Unlike the house mouse, rats need free water for drinking. They will eat nearly any type of food including meat and fish. Rats are primarily nocturnal but when populations are high, some may be active during daylight. Rats, like mice, need to gnaw to keep their constantly growing teeth trimmed. They do considerable damage to wood, wiring, and plastic, and have been known to also chew on metal.

Voles, also known as meadow mice, are very plentiful in many landscapes. They are often confused with a mole. However, unlike the mole, they feed on plant material and spend more time above ground. There are actually two species in Maryland: the meadow vole and the pine vole. Voles are active day and night, year round. Their home range depends on population and food. It is usually a ¼ acre or less. Voles only live two to sixteen months. They may breed throughout the year, but mostly in spring and summer. Litter size ranges from one to eleven (average is three to six). An elaborate surface runway system, one to two inches wide, with many burrows is an easily identifiable sign of voles. One problem associated with voles is that they eat plants and their roots. In addition, their runways and tunnels can also cause roots to dry out, creating problems for many shrubs. They are particularly harmful to the roots of boxwoods. Voles will also use mole tunnels to feed on plant roots. Voles may cause extensive damage to orchards and woody landscape plants in the winter when they girdle (or chew) the bark from the lower trunks.

Rats, mice, and other rodents are unwelcome pests in Laurel MD and the surrounding areas. Here are several preventative tips from the Prince George's County Health Department to help deter mice and rats from taking up residence on your property:

• Take pet food into the house after feeding, or feed your pet(s) indoors
• Keep bird feed off of the ground - put trays under bird feeders
• Dispose of pet/animal feces and trash in metal garbage cans with tight fitting lids
• Rake up fallen fruit and vegetables daily
• Avoid putting garbage into compost piles
• Store dog food and bird seed stored in garages and sheds in covered metal containers
• Remove old, unused furniture, appliances, and junk cars from your property
• Mow down tall weeds and grass
• Stack lumber, building materials and firewood at least 18 inches above the ground
• Fill in rat burrows with dirt

Miche Pest Control provides rodent control services for mice, rats, and voles in Laurel, 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, daycares, 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 of 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.

No matter where you live, mosquitoes are common pests that become active as soon as warmer weather arrives. These small, fly-like insects thrive in warm, humid weather and are among the most annoying pests to invade Laurel properties. Mosquitoes are known for ruining outdoor gatherings and special events by buzzing around your face and leaving itchy red welts across your skin. Unfortunately, mosquitoes are more than a simple nuisance; they're dangerous. Each year, more than 700 million people contract mosquito-borne diseases, and of them, about one million cases are fatal. A few of the diseases that mosquitoes spread include dengue, yellow fever, malaria, West Nile virus, Zika virus, chikungunya, western equine encephalitis, eastern equine encephalitis, La Crosse encephalitis, and many more.

If mosquitoes are causing problems around your Laurel home or business, the professionals at Miche Pest Control can help. Our goal is to provide long-term solutions for pest problems of all shapes and sizes.

Many different types of wood-destroying organisms can cause damage to your Laurel home or business. But termites are the most common and destructive wood-destroying insects found throughout the United States. Termites are small, social insects that live in massive colonies that contain over one million termites. Termite colonies divide into three separate castes (workers, soldiers, and reproductives), but only worker termites are responsible for destroying wooden structures. Due to their silent nature and tendency to avoid light, it can be incredibly difficult to identify when termites invade your property. People refer to termites as "silent destroyers" because they can get into your home or business and cause serious structural damage undetected. Avoid attracting termites to your Laurel property by putting into place the termite prevention tips listed below:

• Remove all potential entry points by sealing cracks, gaps, and crevices around your property's exterior.
• Minimize all sources of excess moisture by repairing leaky faucets, dripping pipes, and broken A/C units.
• Clear decaying wooden materials out of your yard, such as old fence posts, woodpiles, logs, fallen trees, and stumps.
• Avoid using mulch around the exterior of your property. Instead, try using a non-wooden alternative, such as pine needles or pebbles.
• Implement year-round termite control and prevention methods for your residential or commercial property.

Laurel is a city in Maryland, located almost midway between Washington and Baltimore on the banks of the Patuxent River. While the city limits are entirely in northern Prince George's County, outlying developments extend into Anne Arundel, Montgomery and Howard counties. Founded as a mill town in the early 19th century, Laurel expanded local industry and was later able to become an early commuter town for Washington and Baltimore workers following the arrival of the Baltimore and Ohio (B&O) Railroad in 1835. Largely residential today, the city maintains a historic district centered on its Main Street, highlighting its industrial past.

The Department of Defense is a prominent presence in the Laurel area today, with the Fort Meade Army base, the NSA and Johns Hopkins' Applied Physics Laboratory all located nearby. Laurel Park, a thoroughbred horse racetrack, is located just outside the city limits.

The zip codes for the incorporated city of Laurel are 20707, 20708, 20709, 20725 and 20756. Although served by the Laurel post office, Montpelier is not within the city limits; the same is true of the unincorporated communities of Scaggsville and Whiskey Bottom in Howard County, and Maryland City and Russett in Anne Arundel County. A small section of ZIP Code 20707 is located in Montgomery County.
