Gaithersburg's humid Mid-Atlantic summers, spring rains and cold winters change which pests are active from week to week.
In 2016 the Maryland Department of Agriculture ran truck-based adult mosquito spraying in Sandy Spring, with door-to-door checks for breeding sites. That was one past event and not a standing schedule. Officials advised residents to empty water-holding containers, which is still the step that does the most good.
The Asian tiger mosquito breeds in anything holding rainwater, and state material says spraying helps only a little against it. A technician can check the property for breeding sites before treating.
Brown marmorated stink bugs fly to overwintering sites from mid-September into October. They do not bite and they do not breed indoors, but they can gather in wall voids. The university's advice is to caulk, weather-strip and take out window air conditioners before the flight.
Rodents also look for shelter as the weather cools. Gaps at the foundation and around pipes are the places to seal before the weather turns.

Yes. The Maryland Department of Agriculture ran truck-based adult mosquito spraying there in 2016, with door-to-door breeding-site checks. That was a single event, and the state did not set a schedule from it.
Seal the gaps first, then vacuum any that get in and release them outside. They do not bite, and the flight to overwintering sites is a yearly event, so the sealing work is what helps.
Usually not. Removing the containers that hold water does most of the work, and the state says spraying helps only a little against the Asian tiger mosquito. Call (855) 974-4733 for a property check.
