Michael was kind enough to text me with his ETA which I appreciated. He arrived on time and was very polite. He inspected the requested areas and was mindful of my cats which was so nice. He is thorough & friendly which is a rare combination. Modern Pest is lucky to have such a wonderful employee ??

From the moment that I called Modern Pest Services and spoke to John, I felt like I had made the right choice. He was great at explaining the services they provide and the costs involved. Patrick was the technician who came out for the initial assessment and service. He called me to let us know what time to expect him, which was a great courtesy. He was also very knowledgeable and explained his findings. He made suggestions on what needed attention and was very patient with my questions. Thank you Modern Pest Services for the great experience and professionalism.

Frequently Asked Questions

Does Modern Pest notify customers before appointments?

Modern Pest sends an email a few days before service; text notifications are optional.

Does someone need to be home during a treatment?

No one needs to be home for an exterior treatment, but someone must let the service professional in for an interior service.

How should a homeowner prepare for a first visit?

Modern Pest’s preparation instructions include clearing clutter from treatment areas, putting away pet food and other open food, and keeping pets indoors during exterior treatments.

How long do treatments take to work?

Most pest-control treatments are expected to work within 10–14 days; direct treatments such as for a wasp nest may work within days.

What happens if rain is forecast after an exterior treatment?

Exterior treatments dry within one to two hours, and rain will not wash them away once dry. If rain is predicted all day, service is rescheduled.
