Martin's Additions MD Pest Control that Protects Properties from Pest Damage

Established in 1985, Martin’s Additions is a National Register historic district featuring Colonial, Tudor, and Arts and Crafts homes built in the 1920s and 1930s on land purchased by developer Harry M. Martin from the Chevy Chase Land Company.

Since many properties contain original, untreated wood framing and trim that have spent a century in contact with damp soil, they are highly vulnerable to termite and wood-boring insect infestations.

Architectural features like Tudor half-timbering and Colonial porches place decorative wood close to the ground. Carpenter ants and subterranean termites first establish themselves in these areas, then migrate inward into the structural framing. 

By the time damage is visible from the inside, the colony has usually been active for years.

The stakes are higher in a designated historic district than in other neighborhoods in Montgomery County. Visible wood damage on a facade undermines the property’s character, directly affecting buyers, neighbors, and local architectural standards.

When you need protection from carpenter ants and termites working through century-old wood, or rodents finding entry through gaps that develop in aging historic construction, trust a QualityPro-certified exterminator to get the job done right.
