Top 13 Pest Control Companies in Ellicott City, MD

My technician with Orkin is Dawn. I have always appreciated her attention to detail and her overall work ethic. Dawn’s visit today wasn’t a typical one, as she spotted a snake near my basement sump pump. Luckily, the snake’s head was inside of an insect trap that Dawn replaces near the sump on her visits. I happened to be in the basement arranging a few things, when Dawn asked for some plastic trash bags. I went to the back area where she was & saw a huge black snake that was at least 4ft. long & 3 in. wide. I ran to get the trash bags, a broom & dust pan. Upon returning, Dawn began dropping her large sticky pads on him, placed the bags on the floor, and pushed him into the 1st bag, then the 2nd bag, as the snake began moving. Dawn took the final black bag, dropped him in & tied it. She then placed large sticky pads around the sump pump in case a snake were to come out of the top again. She also placed stickies in other areas in the back of the basement for peace of mind. I don’t believe other techs would have done what Dawn did that day. She was truly fearless and as calm as she could be in such a scary situation. Even though we’ve chatted about the pests & bee hives she has faced, I never expected it to happen to me. It is my hope that Orkin knows what they have in this technician, and that a large pay increase is in order for the work she does each time she steps into or around a customer’s home. If Orkin doesn’t step up and attempt to pay her for her worth; someone else just might. Thank you Dawn for all you do. I respect & appreciate the work that you do! Sincerely…..Joan

Our home was given an annual termite examination. We have a crawlspace sealed in reinforced barrier plastic because of heavy moisture. After the review some of the barrier had fallen, mouse droppings and mice caught in traps. We also have three dehumidifier machines in that area. However, they were Not Working and the inspectors could not determine when they stopped working and each must be replaced. Orkin originally installed them. The termite inspection became very costly not because of any infestation of termites but because of replacing dehumidifiers, shoring the barriers and labor. We are grateful the inspection occurred yet not so much because of additional expense.

My service tech today was Karl. Very pleasant, respectful and mannerism gentleman. He did a wonderful job spraying around the house. I’d like to recommend to have karl for all my service needs. Also, I am very satisfied with Orkins service. I also appreciate the text messages of my appointment ahead of time and same day of arrival. Very satisfied customer, thank you!

Dawn is my personal representative and what a joy she is. I received the ant and mosquito treatment. The inside of my home is fine, no complaints. The outside, well...me, Mother Nature and Orkin all need to chat. We are on our second treatment so let's see how it goes. But, Dawn is great!

Zach did an amazing job! He's such a nice and professional person. We're so happy with our Orkin service. We can use our pool without mosquitoes ruining the experience! If you're needing pest control, we highly recommend the professionals at Orkin. We especially love our Sykesville team! 👍☺️

Had William Tonkin out for my annual pest control service and he was great as always. I actually had to reschedule the service originally as I had a death in the family and William was so accommodating with helping me get another time!

My technician Joshua Krauss was amazing explaining everything during and after the inspection. Very informative and solution / observation driven feedback. 10/10 would recommend him or want him to evaluate my house in the future.

I continue to have the utmost satisfaction with Terminix for the following reasons:-Professionalism: The technician arrived on time and conducted himself with the highest level of professionalism throughout the entire process. The technician informed me of how to keep the exterior of my home termite-free by suggesting I keep the grass around the perimeter of my house cut low to keep the pests from building a tunnel near the house. -Customer Service: The customer service representative was very responsive and accommodating, promptly addressing my billing request. The representative's friendly and helpful attitude also contributed significantly to my positive rating of this company.-Results: Most importantly, Terminix's pest control measures have been highly effective. My daughters and I have not seen any pests reoccur, which has greatly enhanced our comfort and peace of mind.Thank you for providing my family with such outstanding service! I would highly recommend Terminix to anyone in need of reliable and professional pest control solutions.Stoked Customer Alicia L.

I made an error when selecting what type of service I needed when using the website. The exterminator who showed up to do the service worked with me to understand the options and took the time to call a customer service rep who drove to my house and met with us within 30 mins of meeting the exterminator. She helped me with the correct service we needed and was very knowledgeable and helpful. The exterminator was a very good representative for Terminix also and deserves to be recognized as well. I really liked the no pressure sales tactics that every employee I talked to used and how everything was explained both with pros and cons. Both people I met in person were great and well versed in the companies operations and types of treatments we needed.

Since my Wife and I contacted Terminix, we’ve been impressed with the level of customer service and rapid response that we’ve gotten from such a large company. The experience feels like we’ve been serviced by a small local company, in all the right ways. Nick Burroughs has been professional, helpful, and courteous every step of the way and cares for our property like it were his own.

Critter Control, Wildlife Service Technician Mr. Antonio Lopez IV 571-407-1544

Took care of our problem the first time we called them, but then launch failure when we called a few years later. Promised to have someone call us back within the hour twice but never happened.

8/20/20 A few days ago I saw a groundhog eating green grass and minding it's own business on the school property of Luther Jackson Middle School. Evidently a family of groundhog has made its home on the school grounds. I have seen the cute animal in different areas of the football fields. Evidently the green grass and the water source makes this area a hot commodity. Today; however, all this has come to an end. I saw to bages with black bags to hold these animals. I don't know if they are alive or dead, but one way or another they are being transferred off of school grounds. How many groundhogs were living on school property? I do not know. The guy I met who seemed to be the manager said "the groundhogs would be transferred." Yeah, but to where? I enjoyed seeing some wildlife other than humans and dogs. It saddens me I won't see more of these furry little guys. Aside from this, the Critter Control d ij d their jobs.

Technican arrived on time and did a great job, but the price was high for the amount of work done.

The customer service from Hawx has always been exceptional. The service technicians are knowledgeable and professional. Connors Trader went the extra mile to make sure he listened to our needs regarding the ant problem we had. He did a wonderful job on our property.

Jordan has provided the most complete service since I’ve been a client. He even sprayed on my deck, which no one else has done. If these are new directions to the techs, hooray. If not, he did the best service. Thanks for putting him on my route.

I would like to thank Jeff for doing a great job today. In fact, I would like to request him in the future. Y’all were supposed to provide service a couple of weeks ago, and your guy showed up without the equipment to service the inside of my house. To be honest, I almost called you to cancel my service then. Instead I rescheduled. Today Jeff did exactly what I signed up for, but too often you don’t provide. He sprayed indoors and out, swept my eaves for spider webs and took care of a couple of wasp nests. He did a great job. Thank you very much.

Very polite and wearing a mask (I appreciate that). Introduced himself and asked if any particular place was heavy with mosquitoes, I told him I work in my garage with the door open and he made sure to get that side of the house thoroughly.

Montana was pleasant and most helpful in taking care of the service requested. We are happy and pleased with great service and the professional assistance given. SHB

I have a bi-level home w/ ENORMOUS WOLF SPIDERS in my garage that connects to my bottom living room, while we have not completely eradicated the issue yet, my reason for leaving a review is really about my technician, Dominique Day. He is amazing. He is so friendly, helpful, professional, and always on time. I think he deserves recognition from leadership. I will continue to use Ehrlich, even though we haven not fully resolved my spider issue, because of Dominique.

Second time using Ehrlich's. Rick was pleasant, personable and informative.

My service tech is awesome. He makes sure my home is pest free. Only thing I don’t care for is the scheduling tool they have moved to. Sometimes a 2-3 day notice isn’t the most convenient to schedule around. It would be ideal if when my service tech was leaving we could discuss a mutually convenient time to schedule ahead.

We had Chris today who can by and he was so polite and great. Actually, all of the people from your company that came by were excellent! We also had another guy named Darrell that came by a few months ago and he was just so knowledgeable and just a great guy! Please let them know that they did a really awesome job! Thank you!!!
