Customer Reviews
Sherry Kaplan
Matt is always professional, kind and provides explanations that are easy to understand. This visit he went out of his way to service the outdoor bait boxes that were hidden under more than a foot of snow. We appreciate Matt and his attention to detail. Thank you!
Lindsey Kerkela
Dennis was tremendous. Took the time to explain things and schedule a follow up. He also made his way into some back storage closets that aren’t easy to access. Dennis also used booties to ensure none of the salt / sand / snow was tracked through the house. Friendly, professional service.
Sonia Robertson
Both Ryan and Eric are great communicators- they leave messsges, return calls, listen carefully and clearly explain how they are going to address the problem. I am very impressed by both of them. They are tenacious and determined to resolve our issues using all expertise available.

Very impressed with Technician Casey who has been servicing our home for several months as we had ants over late summer and mice this winter. He is knowledgeable, professional, and thorough. I especially appreciate that he wears covers on his shoes in our home. Modern Pest is lucky to have Casey representing them! Casey is the utmost professional!!!

Frequently Asked Questions
How long do Modern Pest treatments take to work?
Most pest-control treatments take effect in 10-14 days; some direct treatments, such as for a wasp nest, take effect within days.
How should homeowners prepare for Modern Pest’s first service visit?
The company’s instructions call for clearing clutter from treatment areas, putting away pet food and open food, and keeping pets inside during exterior work.
Does someone need to be home for a Modern Pest treatment?
No one needs to be home for exterior treatment, but someone must provide access for interior work.
How often should homeowners arrange termite inspections with Modern Pest?
Modern recommends an initial termite inspection; if no signs are found, it says inspections every other year are sufficient.
What happens if it rains after an exterior treatment?
Exterior treatments dry in 1-2 hours; once dry, rain will not wash the material away. The company says it will reschedule if rain is predicted all day.
