Pest Season in Maryland, Month by Month

Maryland gets four real seasons, and the pest calendar follows them closely. Spring brings ants, termite swarms, and the start of tick season in wooded and grassy areas. Summer is peak mosquito and stinging insect activity, with wasp and hornet nests reaching full size by late summer.

Fall is the season that defines pest control in this state. As temperatures drop, brown marmorated stink bugs, boxelder bugs, cluster flies, and mice all begin moving toward the warm side of your walls, and they get in through gaps you never notice in July. Treating the exterior before that migration starts is far more effective than trying to remove them once they are overwintering inside. Winter is mostly about what already made it in.

Spotted Lanternfly Is Now a Statewide Concern

Maryland's spotted lanternfly quarantine has expanded steadily since it was first issued for Cecil and Harford counties in 2019. As of March 2026 the Maryland Department of Agriculture has extended it to every one of the state's 23 counties plus Baltimore City, making it effectively statewide. The quarantine restricts moving items that could carry the insect at any life stage, including egg masses.

For homeowners, the practical issue is nuisance and plant damage rather than any risk to your house or family. Spotted lanternflies do not bite or sting and they do not damage structures, but they congregate in large numbers on trees and exterior walls, feed on plants, and excrete a sticky honeydew that promotes sooty mold on decks, furniture, and cars beneath infested trees. If you find egg masses on outdoor surfaces between fall and spring, scraping them off is genuinely worthwhile.

Maryland Pest Control Questions

Are spotted lanternflies dangerous to my home or family?

No. They do not bite, sting, or damage structures. The problems they cause are nuisance and plant health: they gather in large numbers on trees and walls, feed on vegetation, and produce a sticky honeydew that leads to sooty mold on anything underneath. Maryland now has a statewide quarantine restricting the movement of items that could carry their egg masses.

Why do stink bugs appear inside my house in fall?

They are overwintering. Brown marmorated stink bugs move toward warm structures as temperatures drop, entering through gaps around windows, siding, soffits, and attic vents, then sheltering in wall voids and attics until spring. They do not breed indoors or damage the house. The effective time to address them is with an exterior treatment before the fall migration, not after they are already inside.

When is tick season in Maryland?

Ticks are active any time temperatures are above freezing, but risk is highest from spring through early fall, peaking in late spring and early summer. Wooded edges, tall grass, and leaf litter are the highest exposure areas. Keeping grass short, clearing leaf litter, and maintaining a barrier between lawn and woodline meaningfully reduces the tick population in the parts of a yard people actually use.
