Neighbors have roaches and mice. Infesting my rental. Recourse?

I have a property in Baltimore county, and the neighbors are very messy / don’t take care of their home. My tenant has been complaining of roaches and of mice. I’ve had scheduled pest control coming out, and they’ve even come out more frequently than scheduled. Despite this it seems the issue is ongoing and not necessarily improving.

I should note, my tenant keeps things very tidy and has even attempted her own DIY pest control measures on top of the professional treatments.


At this point I know that the majority of the problems is the gross neighbors. What can I do, or request for Baltimore county to do!? I have done what I can and the tenant is frustrated. There must be some recourse to have the neighbors handle their mess / infestations. Any advice is appreciated.


TLDR; neighboring townhome in Baltimore county causing mouse and roach infestation. Can I get any authority involved to force them to clean up?
