Common Bugs in Anne Arundel County That You Should Watch Out For

No items found.

Anne Arundel County is lovely, but the insects that inhabit here are not lovely! Whether you reside in Annapolis, Glen Burnie, or Severna Park, insects are a headache year-round for property owners and businesses alike. Discovering the most prevalent insects in the region is the first step towards being bug-free.

These are some of the bugs that you're likely to find in Anne Arundel County:

Ants

Carpenter ants and odorous house ants are typical household invaders. Carpenter ants can do enormous damage to homes if not treated, while odorous ants contaminate food quickly.

Cockroaches

German and American cockroaches infest household and business kitchens. They are carriers of bacteria, allergens, and thrive in warm, damp environments.

Spiders

While most spiders are harmless, species like the black widow and brown recluse—though rare—can pose health risks. Their bites require medical attention.

Mosquitoes

With all the creeks and marsh surrounding the area, mosquitoes adore this place. They carry West Nile virus and it's hard to sit in your yard during warm weather.

Rodents (Mice & Rats)

Norway rats and field mice invade homes during winter months for warmth and food. They chew on wires, destroy insulation, and spread disease quickly.

Stink bugs

A pest insect that prefers to creep into homes in the fall. They will not bite, but they sure stink when crushed, especially on windowsills and walls.

Termites

The area is infested with Eastern subterranean termites who will quietly decay wood buildings from the inside outward without anyone's knowledge for months.

Ticks

Common in woodland or grassland habitats, ticks in Anne Arundel County have the potential to transmit Lyme disease, especially during spring and summer.

Fleas

Usually introduced by animals, fleas infest rapidly and bite animals and humans alike. They're particularly difficult to get rid of without professional assistance.

Seasonal Guide to Pests in Anne Arundel County, Maryland

No items found.

Pest activity in Anne Arundel County changes with the seasons. From spring invaders to winter shelter seekers, knowing which pests to expect—and when—can help protect your home and property all year long.

Spring: The Awakening Season

As temperatures rise and flowers bloom, many pests become more active after winter dormancy.

Common Spring Pests in Anne Arundel County:

  • Ants: Odorous house ants and carpenter ants start foraging inside and nesting inside.
  • Termites: Termite swarming season in March and April. Swarmers are one of the major indicators of infestation.
  • Stink Bugs: They come out of hibernation and attempt to flee the indoors.
  • Wasps & Bees: Initial nest construction around eaves, soffits, and sheds.

 Spring Pest Control Tips:

  • Close cracks and crevices around doors and windows.
  • Book a termite inspection or place bait stations.
  • Remove mulch and debris along the foundation.

Summer: Peak Pest Time

Heat and humidity usher in an insect invasion. Many insects are at peak activity—and worst behavior.

Typical Summer Pests in Anne Arundel County:

  • Mosquitoes: Can thrive in pooled water and hit their stride from late June into August.
  • Ticks: Hide out in high-grass areas and wooded spaces; pose a hazard with Lyme disease.
  • Fleas: Often found in yard, particularly where you have pets.
  • Hornets & Yellowjackets: Territorial nesters that become aggressive.
  • Flies: House flies, fruit flies, and gnats become household pests.

Summer Pest Control Tips:

  • Remove standing water in birdbaths, gutters, and pots.
  • Mow grass frequently and trim brush.
  • Check and treat pet areas for fleas and ticks.
  • Don't leave sweet drinks or food outside.

Fall: The Great Invasion

As temperatures start to cool, pests begin seeking warm spots to overwinter—often in your home.

Common Fall Pests in Anne Arundel County:

  • Rodents (Mice & Rats): Looking for shelter in attics, garages, and basements.
  • Spiders: More noticeable indoors as they search for food.
  • Stink Bugs & Boxelder Bugs: Find means to get indoors before winter.
  • Cockroaches: German cockroaches begin migrating indoors from dumpsters or other warm areas.

Tips for Fall Pest Control:

  • Keep firewood at least 20 feet away from the house.
  • Seal openings around the foundation, doors, and windows.
  • Store food in airtight containers.
  • Add door sweeps and inspect the weather stripping.

Winter: Out of Sight but Still Active

Although insect activity is reduced, pests do not vanish. Most migrate indoors to avoid cold temperatures.

Anne Arundel County Winter Pests:

  • Rodents: Build nests within insulation, gnaw on wires, and infect food.
  • Cockroaches: Flourish in warm, moist environments such as kitchens and laundry rooms.
  • Silverfish: Seek refuge in dark, damp spaces such as basements and bathrooms.
  • Spiders: Continue to reside in corners, attics, and storage spaces.

Winter Pest Control Tips:

  • Check attic and basement insulation for evidence of rodent nesting.
  • Elevate storage boxes and keep them sealed.
  • Repair leaky pipes and decrease humidity in crawl spaces.
  • Resume pest monitoring and prevention treatments.

Year-Round Pest Control in Anne Arundel County

Pest control is never a one-and-done deal. In Anne Arundel County, every season has its pest issues. A year-round pest prevention program keeps you:

  • Safe from invading structural damage.
