pest control in Montgomery Village
Montgomery Village is a planned community of 34,893 people just outside Gaithersburg, built in the late 1960s and 1970s. Its older housing means aging wood, foundations and crawl spaces, and the county's pest guidance applies to its homes. Gaithersburg Pest Control answers calls 24/7 and confirms the price on site.
Montgomery Village is a census-designated place of 34,893 people at the 2020 census. It was planned in the late 1960s and built out through the 1970s, just outside Gaithersburg's city limits. Homes from that period are now more than fifty years old, so wood framing, sills and foundation joints are the places a technician checks first.

Gaithersburg's humid Mid-Atlantic summers, spring rains and cold winters change which pests are active from week to week.
What does a fifty-year-old house tell a technician?
Houses built in the late 1960s and 1970s often have wood sills resting on the foundation, crawl spaces or slab edges that were sealed when new and have since moved. Termites find the gap where wood meets concrete. A technician looks for soft or hollow wood and for the wings of swarmers on sills, and checks the joints around the foundation first.
Older homes also have wall voids that were never fully sealed around the plumbing. A rodent can enter there, so the rodent visit usually includes a look at the kitchen and bath walls where the pipes come through.
How do fall stink bugs and wasps show up in an older village home?
Brown marmorated stink bugs fly to overwintering sites from mid-September through October, according to Maryland Department of Agriculture material, and they choose sunny walls and gaps around windows and siding. Caulk, weather-stripping and removing window air conditioners are the steps the university recommends.
Wasps tend to build in eaves, soffits and sheds in the same warm months. A visit to a village home usually includes the roofline and the outbuildings, not only the living space.

FAQ
Montgomery Village FAQs
Is a termite inspection worth it for a home built in the 1970s?
Yes, for an older home it is the sensible first step. Termite swarmers in spring are the sign to watch for, and the eastern subterranean termite is the species reported for Maryland. Call (855) 974-4733 and a technician will check the foundation, sills and crawl space.
Where do mice usually get into a village house?
Usually through gaps at the plumbing and wiring that runs through the walls, around exterior vents, and under door sweeps. A technician finds the entry points first, because a trap set in the wrong room catches nothing.
Will the stink bugs leave on their own?
They do not bite and they do not breed inside, but they gather in wall voids and attics before they settle. Sealing the gaps and vacuuming them up is the usual approach, and the fall flight is a yearly event.
Can you treat the whole village at once?
Each home is treated on its own visit. A technician will look at the house, the yard and the shared fences or alleys where the problem started, and will explain what can and cannot be treated from your lot.
