Serving Owings & Northern Calvert County
Local Exterminators Who Know Owings, MD
Owings sits at the top of Calvert County, where the Route 2 and Route 4 corridors run through a mix of established neighborhoods, newer subdivisions, horse farms, and heavily wooded lots. It's a beautiful place to call home — and that same blend of mature trees, open pasture, and creeks draining toward the Patuxent and the Bay gives pests plenty of places to live right next to your house.
Owings homeowners tend to see the same handful of problems over and over: subterranean termites working through the damp, wooded soil; carpenter ants moving in from the treeline; deer ticks in tall grass and along wooded edges; and mice, rats, and squirrels pushing into attics, crawlspaces, barns, and garages as the weather turns cold.
Southern MD Boys Pest Control is a veteran-owned company born and raised right here in Southern Maryland. We're not a national franchise routing your call through another state — we're a local crew with nearly three decades in the pest control business, and we treat every Owings home like it belongs to family. We also serve neighboring Dunkirk, Huntingtown, North Beach, Chesapeake Beach, Sunderland, and the rest of Calvert County.
What We Treat
Pest Control Services in Owings, MD
Residential, farm, and commercial pest control for every corner of Owings — from one-time treatments to year-round protection plans.
Termite Inspection & Treatment
Owings' wooded lots and moist soil are prime territory for subterranean termites. We inspect foundations, crawlspaces, decks, and sill plates, then build a treatment plan that protects your home's structure.
Rodent Control & Exclusion
Field mice and Norway rats move in from pastures and woods every fall. We find and seal entry points, set a baiting program, and follow up — for homes, barns, sheds, and garages.
Ant Control
Carpenter ants from nearby trees and stumps can hollow out damp wood in your home. We track trails back to the colony and treat at the source, along with odorous house ants and pavement ants.
Flea, Tick & Mosquito Control
Deer ticks love Owings' tall grass and wooded edges. Our seasonal yard treatments target ticks, fleas, and mosquitoes where they breed and hide, so your family and pets can enjoy the outdoors.
Squirrel & Bat Removal
Big trees close to the roofline make Owings attics an easy target. We remove squirrels and bats humanely and seal the openings so they don't come back.
Bed Bug Treatment
Bed bugs hitch rides home from travel, commutes, and secondhand furniture. Our thorough, discreet treatments are designed to wipe out every life stage, with a prep checklist provided in advance.
Cockroach Elimination
German and American cockroaches thrive in Maryland's humid summers. We use targeted baits and treatments to break the breeding cycle in homes, restaurants, and commercial kitchens.
Spiders & Stinging Insects
Wolf spiders, stink bugs, yellow jackets, and paper wasps are common around Owings homes near the woods. We knock down nests and set perimeter barriers to keep them outside.
Real Estate Pest Inspections
Buying or selling in Owings? We provide the termite and wood-destroying insect inspections and paperwork your lender and agent need to keep closing on schedule.

FAQ
Pest Control Questions from Owings, MD Homeowners
The pests we treat most often in Owings are subterranean termites, carpenter ants, ticks, mice and rats, and squirrels in attics. Owings' wooded lots, pastures, and farm properties put homes right next to natural pest habitat, so pressure tends to be higher than in more developed areas.
Because we're based in Southern Maryland and work throughout Calvert County, we can usually schedule an inspection in Owings within 24 to 48 hours. Emergency service is available for urgent problems like a stinging insect nest by a doorway or rodents inside the living space. Call 443-802-1022 for the fastest scheduling.
Yes. Barns, feed rooms, sheds, detached garages, and workshops are often where rodent problems start on larger Owings properties. We include outbuildings in our inspection, place bait stations where they're safe around animals, and help you seal up the structures that matter most.
We use Integrated Pest Management, which means targeted applications of environmentally responsible products rather than blanket spraying. Before we treat, we'll go over where your kids, pets, and livestock spend time and give you clear instructions on when treated areas are safe again — usually once the product has dried.
Termite swarmers have straight antennae, a thick waist, and two pairs of wings that are equal in length. Flying ants have bent (elbowed) antennae, a pinched waist, and front wings longer than the back wings. If you find discarded wings on a windowsill or mud tubes on your foundation, call for an inspection — termite damage in Owings' damp, wooded soil can spread quickly.
We offer both. A one-time treatment works well for a single issue like a wasp nest or a bed bug problem. For ongoing pressure from ticks, ants, and rodents, many Owings homeowners choose a year-round protection plan with seasonal visits that stop pests before they get inside. We'll recommend what actually fits your property.
Yes. We perform real estate pest inspections for buyers, sellers, agents, and property managers throughout Calvert County and provide the paperwork lenders require. Contact us early in the contract period so the inspection doesn't hold up your closing.
