Frequently Asked Questions | Piney Point Pest Control
Living on the water in Piney Point or St. George Island is a dream, but it comes with specific maintenance needs. Here are the answers to the questions we hear most from your neighbors.
Does living near the Potomac make mosquito control harder?
It certainly makes it more important! The brackish water and marshy areas around Piney Point are ideal breeding grounds. We use specialized barrier treatments that target adult mosquitoes where they rest during the day—in the tall grass and shaded foliage—to significantly reduce the population on your property.
Are your treatments safe for the local waterways and crabs?
Yes. We live and work in Southern Maryland too, and we care about the health of the Chesapeake Bay. We practice Integrated Pest Management (IPM), which means we use targeted, low-impact applications. We ensure our products are applied in a way that prevents runoff into the river or creek, keeping the local ecosystem safe.
I have a lot of "water bugs"—can you help?
What locals often call "water bugs" are typically American Cockroaches or Smokybrown Cockroaches, which are highly attracted to the moisture levels found in riverfront crawlspaces. Our perimeter treatments and moisture-control recommendations are very effective at keeping these large pests out of your home.
How often should I have my Piney Point home inspected for termites?
Because of the high moisture content in our local soil, we recommend an annual termite inspection. Termites love damp wood, and waterfront homes are at a higher risk. Catching them early can save you thousands in structural repairs.
Do you service St. George Island too?
Yes! We regularly cross the bridge to provide full pest control services to residents on St. George Island. Whether you’re on the creek side or the river side, we’ve got you covered.
