Everyday pests, handled properly
Not every pest problem is dramatic. Often it is a steady trickle of ants, spiders, earwigs, silverfish, stink bugs or crickets that show up a few at a time and never quite go away. In Southern Maryland, humid summers and wooded, waterfront lots give these insects plenty of places to breed right outside your walls.
General pest control is about keeping that pressure away from your home or business so you are not fighting the same battle every week.
How Home Fixer handles it
- Inspection. We identify which pests are present, where they are living and how they are getting in.
- Targeted treatment. We treat the exterior perimeter, entry points and harborage areas, plus interior areas where you are seeing activity.
- Exclusion. We point out and, where needed, seal gaps around doors, windows, vents and utility penetrations. As a licensed Maryland Home Improvement Contractor, we can make the repairs ourselves.
- Recurring service. For most properties, a monthly or quarterly plan keeps a barrier in place as the seasons change.
Why store-bought sprays fall short
Over-the-counter products usually kill the insects you can see and miss the ones you cannot. They can also scatter some pests into new areas of the home. A professional treatment targets where pests live and travel, and a recurring plan keeps coverage in place instead of starting over every time you notice activity.
Seasonal pests in Southern Maryland
Pest pressure here changes with the calendar. Ants and termites become active as the ground warms in spring. Summer brings mosquitoes, ticks, wasps and a surge of outdoor insects that wander inside. In fall, stink bugs, spiders and crickets look for shelter along with mice. Even in winter, pests that already made it indoors keep breeding in wall voids and basements.
A recurring plan is timed to stay ahead of those shifts. Each visit adjusts to what is active that time of year, so your home is protected before the next wave arrives instead of after.
What to do now
Make a note of where and when you see pests, and keep food, pet food and trash sealed. Then let us take a look. Request an inspection or call or text (301) 659-0300.

General Pests questions
Which pests are covered by general pest control?
General service covers common crawling insects such as ants, spiders, earwigs, silverfish, crickets and stink bugs. Termites, bed bugs and wildlife are handled as separate services.
How often should I have general pest service?
Many homes do well with quarterly service, while properties near woods or water or with steady activity may benefit from monthly visits. We recommend a schedule after the inspection.
Do you treat inside my home?
Yes, where there is activity. Most of the work focuses on the exterior, where pests live and enter, which keeps interior treatments to a minimum.
Home Fixer took care of our problem! They were responsive, knowledgeable, and personable, and they followed up later to check on us. Highly recommend!
