As temperatures drop in November, many Maryland pests seek shelter and warmth, often choosing homes and businesses as their winter hideouts. Knowing the common pests in areas like Annapolis, Glen Burnie, Ellicott City, and beyond can help you stay vigilant and proactive in pest prevention. Bug Squasher’s comprehensive pest control services are here to ensure your property remains pest-free this fall.
Why November Brings Pest Problems
In late autumn, many pests are driven indoors by the cold. By November, pests that thrive in warmer weather are drawn to warm, hidden spots indoors. This trend isn’t just inconvenient – it can lead to larger infestations, property damage, and health risks if not managed early. Bug Squasher’s specializes in targeting these pests right at the start of the season, using environmentally friendly techniques that are safe for you and your property.
Common November Pests in Maryland
Here’s a look at the most common pests you’re likely to encounter in Maryland during November:
- Rodents (Mice and Rats)
Cold weather and reduced food sources in outdoor areas mean rodents are on the move, looking for indoor shelter and food. Rodents, especially in Baltimore, Glen Burnie, and Catonsville, are a significant concern due to the health risks they pose through diseases and contamination. Bug Squasher’s rodent control solutions are comprehensive, targeting entry points and setting up safe traps to keep your home rodent-free.
- Spiders
Although spiders are beneficial to the ecosystem, they often start moving indoors during the fall. In cities like Ellicott City and Easton, certain spider species, such as the house spider and the wolf spider, are frequently spotted. Spiders tend to gravitate to basements, garages, and attics, which can make them difficult to reach. Bug Squasher’s spider control treatments ensure they stay out of your living spaces.
- Cockroaches
Cockroaches can be a year-round issue, but they especially become a nuisance in colder months as they move indoors seeking warmth and food. In areas like Annapolis, Cambridge, and Chestertown, cockroaches are resilient pests, capable of hiding in tight, dark spaces. Our pest control experts use targeted treatments that not only eliminate visible cockroaches but also address breeding areas to prevent future infestations.
- Stink Bugs
Stink bugs often invade Maryland homes in large numbers during fall. In November, they are commonly seen in Pasadena, Millersville, and Kent Island. Known for their unpleasant odor when squashed, stink bugs can be a nuisance as they crowd windows and walls. Bug Squasher’s stink bug control service utilizes safe exclusion methods to prevent them from gathering indoors.
- Ants
Some ant species, particularly odorous house ants, seek warmth indoors. Residents of Baltimore and Berlin often notice ant trails leading to food sources, especially in kitchens. Our pest control team provides barrier treatments around the perimeter of your home to stop ants in their tracks and keep your home free of these persistent pests.
- Silverfish
Damp, cool areas like basements, attics, and bathrooms attract silverfish in November. This pest is commonly found in older homes throughout Chester and Smith Island. Silverfish consume starchy materials, including books, wallpaper glue, and cardboard. Bug Squasher’s pest prevention methods focus on eliminating hiding spots, ensuring silverfish stay away from your valuables.
