Capitol Pest has been putting an end to frustration and worry over pest problems since 1936. It is with the help of our PhD Entomologist, that we have developed the most comprehensive service plans available, our select services. We don't believe in applying pesticides without solving the root cause of the problem. Our service plans are designed to put well-trained professionals to work on the outside of your home with a goal of preventing pests from ever becoming a problem inside of your home. This approach has been proven to protect families and homes from unwanted pests and the diseases they may carry while reducing the traditional pesticides used inside your home to none in most cases.

Wildlife
Report
Wildlife is enjoyable from a distance, but creatures invading your home are another matter. Cold weather often drives animals to seek shelter indoors. Even in warmer months, easy access or the smell of food may tempt rodents and others inside. You might discover them through nightly scuttling sounds or a ravaged garbage can. When bats move into your attic, it's time to think about wildlife exclusion. Wildlife encroaching on your home can have expensive consequences.
Particularly in extreme weather, animals may take refuge in your crawl space or attic. Rodents can build nests out of insulation, gnaw into wood and plaster, and chew through wiring. Structural and electrical repairs are costly, and fire danger escalates with damaged wiring.

Rodents
Report
Our services include a thorough inspection of the inside of the home for rats or mice and their droppings and urine. We will then provide treatments as needed on the inside to eliminate the rodent activity on the inside as quickly as possible. We will revisit the home weekly until the population is eliminated, but this process normally takes three visits over a period of two to three weeks.

Hi Roy, I just wanted to drop a note to you to say a big Thank You for coming by my home last week to check my son's crib for bed bugs. You were extremely thorough, sensible and professional, and very reassuring to me (as I was obviously in a tizzy over the bites!). You settled me down and that peace of mind meant a lot! Also: In the end, he never got another bite.
Whatever it was simply died, or got sucked into my vacuum. Thank goodness for that! Again, thanks for coming out. We will likely be getting on a contract with your company for general maintenance/treatments and I will pass your card on to all my friends! Have a great day.

Our technician was on time and very professional. He clearly explained what he was doing and reasoning. I'm confident that the problem we had is taken care of. I also appreciate the detailed report following the exterior inspection. The technician also took his shoes off when entering the house, which I appreciated! Services: Ant extermination, General pest inspection, Rodent extermination, Spider extermination

Aaron Kitt is the technician assigned by Capitol Pest to treat my house. He is on time and thorough. I don't often see him when he arrives early to do regular inspections and exterior treatments, however when I do see him he is friendly, knowledgeable and engaging and listens intently to my concerns. Services: Bee extermination, General pest inspection, Hornet & wasp extermination, Rodent extermination, Spider extermination

Capitol Pest really came through for me when I needed help! The technician Edward was the best! After a bit of a scheduling issue on my end, he really went above and beyond in assessing the problem and advising how to deal with it, He was able to spend the extra time to get as much of the work done in the first visit which I really appreciated, and was able to schedule the follow up visit just as conveniently. It was a pleasure working with Edward

I used Capitol Pest for my first 3 years at my home. They were great, price matched, always attentive, professional, courteous, on time and never complained when i wanted additional treatments. They did a great job and their products were effective. We tried to save a little bit of money and switched to a different company last year. While they were also great, their products were not as effective. We're back with Capitol Pest and couldn't be happier. No complaints and a totally satisfied customer!

I scheduled a technician through Summit Hills Apartments in Silver Spring, MD to come out to my unit to spray for cockroaches. Robert Bonham was my technician and his service was excellent. I have lived at Summit Hills six years and half of that time, lived in ground floor apartments that have constant cockroaches adorning the spaces. I have had many technicians come out who usually spend a few minutes spraying common areas with little to no interaction needed from me. Robert, though, really made sure every nook and cranny was taken care of, including spraying outside my patio door and caulking up several areas that are common cockroach spots - something no technician has ever done previously.
He even took the care to explain cockroach patterns (like the warm spaces in the laundry room, which is a common infested area and is just down the hall from my unit.) He further was able to explain some company history to me, so when I asked him how long he had worked for Capitol Pest, I was shocked when he said, "one year." Not only was his service excellent, but his customer service was the pinnacle of my experience.
In these times of isolation, his spirit and personability really made my day - who would have thought pest control would be the best part of a person's day! I've noticed other Google Reviews noted Robert's excellent service. He deserves these recognitions.

Edward has been the technician that consistently comes to our home from Capitol Pest Control. He lets us know when he's doing outside maintenance and he even offered helpful suggestions when servicing inside. It is helpful having the same person who knows our home and knows our concerns. We have seen a great improvement. Services: General pest inspection, Cockroach extermination

I have used American Pest and Orkin and Capitol Pest is by far the better company. I assume they are better than many of the others out there that I did not use. They truly take care of you right from the moment you contact them. You feel like they truly care and listen to your issue. If you've been fighting unwanted guests for a long time with no progress, just feeling listened to goes a long way.
Their initial evaluation over the phone was reassuring and helpful, they got someone out here within the following two days and when they did come out the tech spent almost 2 hours with me in my small home explaining his process and educating me (something that the other companies never did). Most of all he was polite and friendly and made me feel comfortable.
The report I got was very helpful as well as it talks about the things you need to change in your home to prevent the critters from taking over your home like cleaning your oven or stopping water leaks and so on. Unfortunately I had to stop the service simply because I'm moving but I can tell you if they ever serviced my new area I would use them hands down. Don't waste your time or money and go anywhere else but here.

I had a bad nice problem. I caught nine on my own and they were still coming so we called the pest company. They required us to sign a year contract because they said it's needed to control rodents. a week after they first came there were four mice in the traps they set when they came for their second visit. 11 days later they came again for their third visit which is today and there were no mice caught, no mice droppings or activity anywhere. Hooray!
We had them spray for ants inside when they came for the second visit because we saw a lot of ants. Since then we saw only one out and I was today so they sprayed again inside. The only thing I'm not totally happy with is the price/having to sign a years contract. Everything else is excellent! Alba our technician has provided excellent service! The saying is you get what you paid for so overall we are extremely happy with the results!

My experience from start to finish has been exceptional. We bought an older house that is our dream-forever home. Needless to say, we got a surprise when we got an unexpected mice problem. I called the call center and the operator was so courteous and knowledgeable and reassured me that this was an issue they could solve. He walked me through the process and sent Steve, the inspector and Edguard, the technician, quickly.
Both were very professional, explained what we was seeing and gave us measures to assist us. They were thorough, knowledgeable and very personable. I can tell you that me and my husband were in a panic but they were so detailed and thorough in their inspections and explanations that me and my husband calmed down. They gave us a great package and the follow ups appointments were set up within days.
I highly recommend this company. The service is one of the best I've ever received. We live in a very wooded area and had a different company for our outdoor pest treatment, I can tell you we canceled the contract with them and turned all out treatment needs to Capital Pest. Thank you Capital Pest, you saved the day and our dream house.
