Severn is a suburban community in Anne Arundel County, sitting in the corridor between Baltimore and Annapolis near the BWI airport area. Its pest pattern is shaped by construction type and watershed. Much of Severn's housing is crawlspace-heavy suburban construction, and those crawl spaces, damp through the humid Maryland warm season, give camel crickets steady harborage and put the framing within reach of subterranean termites. Maryland's heavy termite pressure makes Severn an active zone, and a crawlspace home here should have its substructure checked. Severn sits in the Severn River watershed, and the creeks, retention ponds, and wet woodland that feed the river create extensive mosquito breeding habitat through the long season. The wooded subdivision edges shelter deer ticks. The mix of newer and established housing means termite and rodent pressure spans the stock, and fall brings stink bugs onto the long subdivision walls.
Common pests in Severn
The pests Severn homeowners deal with most. Tap any one for identification and treatment details.
Subterranean Termite
The most destructive wood-destroying insect in North America. It lives underground and attacks wood from below, invisibly, for years before homeowners notice.
Read moreCamel Cricket
A large humpbacked cricket with no wings and very long legs that thrives in damp basements and crawl spaces. Startling but harmless.
Read moreMosquito
Blood-feeding flies that breed in standing water. Several species in the Upper Midwest and Mid-Atlantic carry West Nile virus, and one imported species bites aggressively during the day.
Read moreDeer Tick
A small dark tick that carries Lyme disease. The nymph stage is the size of a poppy seed and accounts for most human infections in the Upper Midwest and Mid-Atlantic.
Read moreHouse Mouse
The most common rodent in homes year-round. Small, fast, and capable of squeezing through a gap the width of a pencil, house mice nest inside walls and breed quickly.
Read moreBrown Marmorated Stink Bug
An invasive shield-shaped bug that enters homes by the hundreds each fall and releases a foul odor when disturbed. Harmless to people, serious to crops.

Pest pressure in Maryland shifts hard with the seasons, from spring termite swarms to the long Chesapeake mosquito season and the fall stink bug invasion. This is the rough arc of the year, so you know what tends to show up when.
| Month | Pressure | Most active | What to watch |
|---|---|---|---|
| Jan | Low | Mice, Rats, Cockroaches, Stink bugs | Rodents stay indoors for warmth. Overwintering stink bugs stir on warm windows. |
| Feb | Low | Mice, Rats, Overwintering invaders | Quiet month. Indoor rodent activity continues and overwintering pests move on mild days. |
| Mar | Moderate | Termites, Ants, Stink bugs, Ticks | Termite swarm season begins as the coastal plain soil warms. Stink bugs re-emerge. |
| Apr | High | Termites, Carpenter ants, Mosquitoes, Ticks | Termite swarms build. Mosquito season opens and ants begin foraging in earnest. |
| May | High | Termites, Mosquitoes, Ants, Ticks | Termite season closes out. Mosquito and tick pressure climbs hard across the watershed. |
| Jun | High | Mosquitoes, Ants, Wasps, Ticks | Full summer pressure. Asian tiger mosquitoes bite all day and stinging insects expand. |
| Jul | High | Mosquitoes, Cicada killers, Wasps, Spiders | Mosquito season peaks. Cicada killers dig lawn burrows in the summer heat. |
| Aug | High | Mosquitoes, Yellowjackets, Spotted lanternfly, Fruit flies | Mosquitoes still heavy. Yellowjacket colonies turn aggressive and lanternfly adults appear. |
| Sep | High | Stink bugs, Spotted lanternfly, Yellowjackets, Mosquitoes | Fall invasion begins. Stink bugs mass on warm walls and lanternfly swarms exterior surfaces. |
| Oct | High | Stink bugs, Spotted lanternfly, Mice, Camel crickets | Peak structural intrusion. Stink bugs push into wall voids and rodents start moving indoors. |
| Nov | Moderate | Mice, Rats, Overwintering invaders | Rodents push indoors ahead of hard cold. Stink bugs settle into wall voids and attics. |
| Dec | Low | Mice, Rats, Cockroaches | Rodents seek heated structures. Cockroach and bed bug activity continues indoors. |
Maryland's mild winters rarely kill off overwintering pest populations, so the active season runs long. Treat this as a guide, not a fixed schedule.
When to call a Severn exterminator
In Severn, the crawlspace construction is the constant. If your home has a crawl space, have the substructure checked: damp crawl spaces draw camel crickets and put the framing within reach of subterranean termites, and Maryland's heavy pressure makes a termite inspection worthwhile. Any mud tube or spring swarm warrants a quick call. Mosquitoes build off the Severn River watershed creeks and ponds from April, so a seasonal program before summer keeps the yard usable. On wooded subdivision edges, watch for deer ticks in spring and fall, and consider adding tick control to a mosquito program. Fall brings stink bugs onto warm walls, so seal the exterior before the first cool snap. Rodents push indoors as the weather turns cold.
