How Gaithersburg Pest Control works
Gaithersburg Pest Control exists so that a Montgomery County caller reaches a technician who can name the pest before anything is sprayed. Most calls come from a few places: a winged insect on a spring sill, a nest under a soffit, droppings behind a kitchen appliance in a townhouse.
The desk answers at any hour, takes the room and the time of day the pest is active, and passes the job on with the detail already recorded, so the first visit starts from the identification rather than from a guess.
A state-licensed pest control business treats your property
Gaithersburg Pest Control is the number you call. The treating is done by the nearest independent, licensed local pest control company working in your part of Montgomery County. That distinction matters for one practical reason: the firm standing in your crawl space is the firm that must hold the state pesticide business licence, must have its people certified, must carry its own insurance, and must answer to the agency that licensed it. We do not hold any of that and do not claim to.
Maryland puts pesticide business licensing and applicator certification with the Pesticide Regulation Section of the Maryland Department of Agriculture. A firm doing structural pest control needs the department's pesticide business licence, has to designate at least one certified applicator in each category it works in, and has to show proof of general liability insurance to hold the licence. Licences run on a July-to-June year, so a current licence is a fair thing to ask about. If the visit is a wood-destroying insect inspection, findings come to you in writing on the state's Form MD-1, and lenders and contracts often ask for one.
Ask for the licence number any time: on (855) 974-4733, or when the company calls to arrange the appointment. We do not print it here, out of regard for the company's privacy: the licence is its private detail to share. You can then check the business and the applicator yourself in the Maryland Department of Agriculture's public search tools, which also host its complaint form.

What we hold ourselves to

We say what a phone call can and cannot tell a technician, and the treatment waits until the pest has been named.
County detail
Advice follows Montgomery County's townhouses, apartments and older Gaithersburg blocks, and the county programs that govern rats, mosquitoes and lawns.
Price first
The price is explained and approved on site before any work begins.
Clear hand-offs
