Olney is a census-designated place of 35,820 people at the 2020 census, in the north-east of the county. Both of its ZIP codes, 20832 and 20830, are used for the service area. The records we checked give its population but not its housing age, roads or parks, so this page keeps to pests and county guidance rather than neighbourhood detail.
Call (855) 974-4733 from Olney and say what you have seen and where. A technician will ask the questions that decide the visit, such as whether the sign is inside, in the yard, or in a shared garage or shed.
Gaithersburg's humid Mid-Atlantic summers, spring rains and cold winters change which pests are active from week to week.
Rats and mice follow the shelter they can find. In Montgomery County the county's Vector Control Team takes complaints about rats, and the county says property owners are responsible for elimination. A rodent problem in Olney is usually a sealing job as much as a trapping job, because the county does not supply poison or traps.
Insects follow moisture and warmth. Carpenter ants nest in damp or damaged wood, which is general pest knowledge rather than a local count, so a technician looks for soft wood near the roof and any leak that has been left alone.
Brown marmorated stink bugs fly to overwintering sites in the fall. Maryland Department of Agriculture material gives mid-September through October for that flight, while another MDA document gives October to November. Expect them on sunny walls and near window frames first.
They do not bite, and the University of Maryland Extension advice is to caulk cracks, weather-strip doors and windows, and remove window air conditioners before they arrive.

The county's Vector Control Team, inside the Department of Health and Human Services, takes rat complaints. Property owners are responsible for elimination, and the county does not supply poison or traps. A technician can inspect the property and build the removal plan the owner needs.
They nest in damp or damaged wood rather than eating it the way termites do, so damage usually points to a moisture problem. Look for wet wood, leaks and sawdust-like debris, and call (855) 974-4733 to have the source found.
The usual approach is sealing rather than spraying. Caulk, weather-strip and remove window air conditioners before the flight, then vacuum or release any that get inside. Do not crush them, because they can leave a smell.
