What this site is, plainly

A connection, not a pest control company

Maryland Exterminators is a referral service. We connect homeowners who have a pest problem with licensed, local exterminators who can handle it. We do not do pest control ourselves. We do not own trucks, employ technicians, or hold a treatment license. What we do is publish honest, Maryland-specific information about pests, services, and pricing, and route quote requests to the operators who do the actual work.

How the referral model works

When you fill out a quote form on this site, your request goes to one pest control operator who covers your metro. Not three companies, not a call list. One licensed operator. They review what you submitted, then contact you with pricing and a plan. You decide whether to book. There is no charge to you for the connection, and you are never under any obligation.

We partner with a single operator per metro on purpose. Selling the same lead to several companies turns a homeowner's pest problem into a bidding war and a pile of sales calls. Routing each request to one good operator is better for the homeowner and better for the operator.

Our commitment to licensed operators

Structural pest control in Maryland is regulated by the Maryland Department of Agriculture through its Pesticide Regulation Section. Every operator we partner with must hold a current Commercial Pesticide Business License and work under certified commercial pesticide applicators in each service category. We ask for license details and we verify them. If we cannot confirm an operator is properly licensed, we do not work with them.

Honesty about coverage

We are still building out operator coverage across Maryland, metro by metro. If you submit a request and we do not yet have a partnered operator near you, we will tell you plainly and point you toward other licensed options in your area. We would rather be straight with you than pretend to have coverage we do not have. The same goes for response times: a local operator reviews requests during business hours, and we will not promise a guaranteed instant callback as a blanket fact.

What we will not do

We will not sell your contact information to a marketing list. Your details go to the one operator handling your area so they can quote your job, and that is it. We explain exactly what happens to the information you submit on our privacy page. If you have a question about how any of this works, the contact page is the place to ask.
