About Us
A family business built on showing up, doing the job right, and standing behind our work. Serving Maryland homeowners since 1998.
How Precision Got Its Start
Precision Pest Control started in 1998 with a simple idea: treat every home like it's our own. Nearly three decades later, we're still the same family-run operation—just with a lot more experience. No franchise fees, no corporate scripts. Just people who care about getting it right.
From day one, we've believed that pest control should be personal. That means answering the phone when you call, showing up when we say we will, and never cutting corners. We've built our reputation one job at a time in Harford, Cecil, and Baltimore Counties—earning trust through results, not marketing. When you call Precision, you're not getting a technician. You're getting our family's name.

What We Believe In
We don't believe in upselling you services you don't need or locking you into contracts that only benefit us. We believe in honest assessments, fair pricing, and doing the job right the first time. That's how we've stayed in business this long—and how we plan to stay for decades more. Pest control isn't complicated when you do it with integrity. Show up on time. Listen to the customer. Solve the problem. That's the formula, and it hasn't changed since 1998. We're members of the Maryland State Pest Control Association and the National Pest Management Association—not because it looks good, but because we take this work seriously and hold ourselves to high standards.
Locally Rooted,
Professionally Run
We live and work in the same communities we serve. That means we know the local pest pressures and the seasonal patterns. It also means we have a reputation to protect. When you see our truck in your neighbor's driveway, it's because they trust us—and you can too. Being local doesn't mean being small-time. We're fully licensed (MDA #25859), insured, and equipped to handle everything from termites to yellowjacket nests. We've invested in the training, tools, and products that let us compete with the big guys—without losing the personal touch that makes us who we are. You get professional results backed by people who know your name.
