Pest control in Chesapeake Beach, MD

Bayfront living in northern Calvert

Chesapeake Beach sits on the Chesapeake Bay just south of North Beach, with a waterfront full of marinas, restaurants, the water park and the Railway Museum. Homes range from bayfront houses and townhomes to wooded neighborhoods on the hills above the water, and many are vacation or rental properties.

Pests near the water

Humidity from the bay keeps wood damp, which draws termites and carpenter ants to decks, docks and porches. Mosquitoes breed in marshy areas and standing water, and spiders are drawn to exterior lighting on waterfront homes. Birds nest in vents, gutters and under eaves.

In the wooded neighborhoods inland, squirrels and raccoons reach rooflines from nearby trees, and ticks are active along wood lines.

Rentals and vacation homes

Homes that sit empty between guests give mice and insects time to settle in unnoticed. Recurring service on a monthly or quarterly schedule catches problems before guests or tenants do. We also provide service for restaurants and marinas along the waterfront.

Homes on the hills above the bay often back up to steep, wooded slopes. Those slopes funnel water toward foundations and give groundhogs and foxes good cover, so we check drainage and the ground under decks and sheds as part of the inspection.

A complete fix

We inspect the property, treat insects or humanely remove wildlife, and then seal and repair the openings as a licensed Maryland Home Improvement Contractor. That can include deck and porch framing, vents, soffits and screens worn down by salt air. We also offer WDI inspections for waterfront home sales.
