Founder & Owner of Essential Pest Control — 20+ years of protecting people, property, and peace of mind.
Earl Alsup founded Essential Pest Control to deliver professional, dependable, and knowledgeable pest management to homes and businesses throughout Baltimore and the surrounding counties — with a level of personal attention and accountability the national chains can't match.
With more than 20 years of industry experience, Earl has built EPC around one principle: solve the real problem. That means looking beyond the pest in front of you to find its source, the conditions feeding it, and the entry points letting it in — then applying targeted, Integrated Pest Management (IPM) solutions and teaching customers how to keep pests from coming back.
Pest control isn't just a response to an infestation. Done right, it's prevention, sanitation, and property protection — an essential part of keeping the places where people live and work healthier.
Earl is on a mission to change the stigma around the industry. Professional pest management protects public health, food, property, and the environments we share every day — and EPC puts education at the center of every service so customers understand not just what was treated, but why.
Earl's goal is to keep building Essential Pest Control into a trusted organization known for knowledgeable professionals, strong operating systems, exceptional customer service, and a standard of quality customers can depend on — on every job, every time.
Essential Pest Control is a certified Minority Business Enterprise (MBE), fully licensed and insured, with state certifications in:
