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.
