Alex was great! Very professional and explained the whole process before doing any work. We had a wasp nest in our wall, getting in through a seam between our brick and siding. I thought it would be a costly problem, but it was taken care of in about 15 minutes.

I am very pleased with the work of Planet Friendly Pest Control. I had a large wasp nest in the garage and they came out to treat it the same day! The process was clear and professional. I was told the price when I called and they didn't try to upsell me on a monthly or quarterly contract. As mentioned above, they came out the same day I called and they texted me when they were on their way. They treated the nest and then came back a week later to confirm it was taken care of and removed the nest. It's now been a couple of weeks since the initial visit and no sign of new wasps! I would not hesitate to use them again.

I want to sincerely thank Planet Friendly Pest Control and its owner, Gene Wright, for their immediate response and action to deal with a hive of Bald Face Hornets who, unbeknownst to me, had taken home in a fair size shrub at the back of my house. As I attempted to trim the shrub, I was swarmed by Hornets and stung 8 or 9 times before I could get to safety. I left my tractor and tools in a hurry and was afraid to retrieve them until the bee issue was addressed. Again, PFPC responded quickly and allowed me to get my tools and continue my recovery from the bee stings. I considered the price to be very fair for the treatment of the issue at hand and the sharing of knowledge to avoid further such mishaps. I will only call PFPC when in need of pest control.

Roger came out and killed hornets in large nest on our house. It was taken care of the day after I called for service.

Planet Friendly has been doing our pest control for several years now. They are reliable, and perform a great service for us. We are notified by email when the appointment is confirmed. They are always professional and knowledgeable.

Really appreciate Roger coming out to the house to not only treat for common insects that like to make their way into the house (regularly scheduled maintenance), but also exterminate a hornet nest we found on our deck this last week. Great service, arrives on schedule (and sends a text with arrival time when he’s on his way), and most importantly - no critters coming inside my house - or hornets potentially stinging us. Recommend Planet Friendly Pest Control to anyone looking for an exterminator.

Great service. No bugs in the house! They quietly and quickly get the job done, no hastle.

Roger was very kind and professional. He did an excellent job attending to areas of the exterior of our home that required extra attention.

Gene Wright came highly recommended by multiple neighbors. He came out the same day I called and showed great knowledge about our mouse problem! Gene was responsible, knowledgeable and a delight to deal with. We highly recommend Planet Friendly Pest Control.

This is my third year using Planet Friendly to control ants in my home. I have yet to see an ant. What a relief. This is a real necessity where I live. Thank you.

Eco-friendly pest control
What You Need to Know
Two Simple Questions
Before choosing eco-friendly pest control, ask:
- 1Does this solution protect my home and the environment?
- 2Is this service helping me, or just making money for the company?
These questions can help you make better choices.
Smart Pest Control for a Healthy Home
If you live in Southern Maryland or Northern Virginia, you can keep pests away without harming the environment. The goal isn’t to eliminate all bugs but to keep them out of your living spaces. Insects can be helpful in nature but are a problem inside your home. Spraying your whole yard for one wasp isn’t necessary.
Pests have always been a part of life, but using random pesticides can be dangerous. Without proper knowledge, you might cause harm to your family, pets, or the environment.

The eco-friendly difference
Why Choose Eco-Friendly Solutions?
Not all pest killers are safe or effective. Many pesticides are harmful to nature and your home. For example:
- Mosquito sprays often kill all bugs, not just mosquitoes.
- Imidacloprid, a common pesticide, poisons flowers and harms bees, butterflies, birds, and small animals.
Using these incorrectly can cause long-lasting damage.
What Makes Eco-Friendly Pest Control Different?
Eco-friendly experts focus on pest control that works with nature. They carefully plan treatments to reduce harm to the environment.
How Many Treatments Do You Need?
Every home is unique. We focus on the least number of treatments needed to keep your home pest-free. Non-pesticide methods come first. Most treatments happen outside, with inside treatments only when absolutely necessary, like for roaches or bed bugs.
With eco-friendly pest control, you can protect your home and the planet.
