Pest Control In Bethesda, MD

Bethesda, Maryland, is a storied location. Situated just north of Washington, D.C., Bethesda is a hotbed of commerce and activity. Currently, the town hosts 70,000 people and enjoys a robust housing market, excellent schools, and an attractive, bustling downtown.

Businesses excel in Bethesda, with many national corporations maintaining offices in the area. Bethesda is also home to Walter Reed Medical Center and the National Institutes of Health, making it one of the foremost in health-related learning and teaching. 

Something that’s unhealthy about the area, however, is house pests.

• Maryland has hundreds of reported tick-related cases of Lyme Disease a year. Local pest control services are necessary to stay safe.
• Tick-related alpha-gal syndrome is on the rise in Maryland. A single bite can lead to a lifetime of decreased quality of life.
• Maryland hosts both the Black Widow and Brown Recluse spiders – both very venomous spiders that can and do cause harm to humans. Brown Recluse bites can be especially devastating, causing permanent injuries or scars.

Business is good in Bethesda, but the risks of house pests are bad. Pests demoralize and frighten staff, clients, and patrons. Once pests start appearing, people will turn away. Spiders and ticks are great travelers and enter your business in various ways.

Tick bites are often hard to detect because you usually don’t know you’re being bitten. In fact, ticks can start drawing blood without causing a sting. Many ticks are tiny, making them even harder to find, leading to tick bites discovered only after the tick has been in place for a while. 

Here’s what to do if you discover a tick:

• Don’t Panic: Not all tick bites are the same. Some tick bites are just that – a simple tick bite. 
• Carefully Remove The Tick: Use a gentle pulling motion with tweezers to get the tick off. Take your time, and don’t twist the tick. Be sure not to crush it with the tweezers.
• Keep The Tick: Doing this can help with identification later, especially if the bite proves to be problematic. A carefully sealed Ziploc bag is excellent for this. 
• Clean-Up: Thoroughly wash your hands and the bite site with disinfectant, soap, or other skin-safe products to protect the area from further complications. 
• Call The Doctor, If Needed: If you develop flu-like symptoms, headache, fever, difficulty moving, heart palpitations, or other concerning symptoms, call your physician. Don’t be shy. Even if it turns out to be nothing, it’s better to get it checked out.

Are you ready to say goodbye to tick problems? Reach out to us today and let us help bring you peace of mind about ticks with our tick control services.

Anyone who has spent any time outside in Bethesda during the warmer months of the year knows how annoying mosquitoes can be. These pests are especially irritating because the months when mosquitoes are active are also the months we want to spend more of our time outside. Having mosquitoes buzzing around can ruin even the best barbeques, tailgates, graduation parties, or other outdoor events.

The good news is that there are steps you can take to keep mosquitoes out of your yard. The number one thing you can do on your own to deter mosquitoes is to eliminate the standing water they need to breed. Pay attention to areas where even small amounts of water can accumulate, including:

• Empty flower pots
• Tarps
• Buckets
• Kiddie pools
• Birdbaths
• Old tires

Standing water can also accumulate in low-lying areas of your property, which can be hard to prevent. That is why the best way to prevent mosquitoes is with a mosquito control plan from Womack Pest Control. We offer mosquito reduction guaranteed to protect your home and property from these biting pests.

As part of our mosquito control process, we’ll identify the conditions on your property that may attract mosquitoes and help you correct them. Then we will use backpack sprayers to apply a mist treatment to your entire property and return every three weeks to re-apply the treatment to keep your yard mosquito-free. We also offer one-time mosquito treatments for big events like weddings, graduation parties, or family barbeques.

Termites are a homeowner's worst nightmare. Not only are they incredibly destructive, but they are also difficult to spot, meaning termites can destroy your home from the inside out, and you won't even know they are there. One of the best ways to avoid this destruction is to understand the signs of a termite infestation, which include:

• Mud tubes on the exterior of your home
• Paint that is uneven or bubbling
• Discarded wings near doors and windows
• Wood that sounds hollow when tapped

Seeing any of these signs indicates that you have a termite infestation and must act quickly.

If you have a termite infestation in your home, you should never ignore it or try to treat termites on your own. Instead, call us for professional termite control. We'll confirm the presence of termites in your home and use Termidor® liquid treatment to eliminate the termites quickly. We will also build a barrier of protection around your home to keep termites from returning so your home and wallet remain safe from termites permanently.
