Call (844) 924-1337Maryland has had a long-running relationship with the brown marmorated stink bug. This invasive species often gathers on sun-warmed siding in fall, then squeezes through gaps around windows, doors, trim, and other exterior openings to overwinter indoors. On warmer winter days, homeowners may notice them becoming active again inside.
The spotted lanternfly has added another pest concern across much of Maryland. The Maryland Department of Agriculture has maintained expanding quarantine areas as the insect has spread, with concerns tied to landscaping trees, fruit crops, ornamental plants, and outdoor areas near homes. The Baltimore-Washington corridor also has steady Eastern subterranean termite pressure, helped by humid summers, older rowhomes, and established suburban neighborhoods.
Maryland pesticide applicators are certified through the Maryland Department of Agriculture's pesticide program. Maryland licensing information notes a core exam plus a separate Structural Pest Control category exam, annual renewal, a $75 core certification fee, and a $25 category fee. Businesses doing pest control for hire also need a Commercial Pesticide Business License, which the existing page notes as a $150 annual license running July through June with certified applicator, liability insurance, and certain occupant notification requirements.
Wildlife-related services may be licensed separately from pest control. Services such as Bat Removal, Raccoon Removal, Squirrel Removal, Snake Removal, Pigeon & Bird Control, and Wildlife Removal can require a Wildlife Damage Control Operator Permit from the Department of Natural Resources. Maryland licensing information notes a written exam covering trapping methods, safety, and wildlife biology, with individual permitting for employees who trap animals.
PestGuardians can help you discuss the pest problem, service needs, and next steps for your property. Before booking, ask PestGuardians about licensing, wildlife permits, termite concerns, spotted lanternfly questions, or pricing and the scope of the requested work.

The spotted lanternfly has spread widely enough that Maryland maintains quarantine areas. Homeowners may ask about activity around trees, landscaping plants, fruit plants, patios, and outdoor surfaces near the home.
Ask whether the applicator holds the core certification and the Structural Pest Control category when structural work is involved. For animal trapping or removal, ask whether a Wildlife Damage Control Operator Permit applies. Confirm the applicable credentials for the requested work before booking.
