They do an excellent job. On visits when we are not there, the tech always calls me to let me know what was found. On the last visit our technician Matt noticed a small leak. He cleaned it up, put a bowl there to catch the slow drip and called me immediately to let me know. Matt is always professional and goes above and beyond expectations.

They removed carpet beetles from our home as well as ants. They are very timely responding to issues (I have called them 3-4 times and they have been great)
Description of Work: They started by removing carpet beetles from our house (a very annoying pest), and since they did, we kept their home service going. If we ever have an issue with any kind of pest I call them and they come out and check it/treat it.

Description of Work: They responded to our discovery of cloth-moths in my house causing unnoticed damage to my best wool coats, carpets and rugs. They zeroed right in and cured the problem. They did a great job considering the other alternative was fumigation. I highly recommend them.

When payment time came around, they wanted a check made out to the owners name and not company name. Found out later, they were scammers.
Description of Work: They supposedly applied chemical to kill bugs in my home in Maine, however they weren't chemicals at all.

We called Modern Pests company after futile attempts to eliminate the bed bug issue on our own with chemicals purchased on line. They returned the phone call immediately and sent a technician with a few days. He was very friendly and examined the rooms and told us what we needed to know. The process is ongoing monthly for a 12 month period. The first treatments did not work and they had to be called back. Since that time there has been no sightings of the bugs.

Thank you for your comment and for answering the additional questions. Bed bugs are difficult to treat on your own, so we're happy you gave us a call to take care of them. Confidentiality is important to many of our clients. Although there is not much that we can do about our vehicles, perhaps there are other measures we could look into. Thank you for voicing your concern about this. Matthew

Provided up-front information over the phone about pricing and services. Came out and was on time. Explained services in detail. Performed service without problems and without making a huge mess. Got information for us about using the product around a child with asthma. Will be coming back for 6 visits over the course of a year (price is for an entire year).

Thank you, [removed member name] for your comment on Angie's List. Pest control can be unnerving to many people, so having the service professional explain what he or she is doing really helps put the mind at ease. Our Safety Data Sheets are a great source for anyone who has a medical concern or is curious about the material that we use. Modern has a Saftey Data Sheet for every product that we use, and we make them available for anyone to review. I'm glad that you had a positive experience with Modern! Matthew

Description of Work: Bat infestation in my home in roof vent and chimney, I contracted for removal of animals, cleaning and deodorizing house. I had to complain several times and schedule several return visits, each call "will be an additional fee of $thousand". The people on the phone were NOT helpful and didnt listen, the people who came to the house spent more time in rhetoric why they couldnt do what was contracted for and how they would provide blah for additional fee. $1800 to put up one way escape for the bats, took almost a month for this part to be set up, $900 to clean the roof vent and replace cap, did not clean out the chimney surround and did very little cleaning of the roof, left yellow residue on the roof had an foul odor after the "cleaning" that wasnt there before. Subsequent calls and visits which cost me time off work as well to get the job done. NOT HAPPY would not recomend their services to anyone. After contracting spoke with a friend (widow) ,who was charged $11000 for bat removal. In retrospect the bats were preferable.

House is a rental. tenant called while we were in Florida with complaint of an invasion of carpenter ants. I got on Angie's List, found this company's, called, and they responded immediately.
Description of Work: Promptly came to respond to a sudden infestation of ants. Treated area inside an out. Ants disappeared within a few weeks and have not come back. They continue to come every four months to retreat. I do not have to call them, they call me, which is convenient.

They did a good job, and I thought the price was reasonable. I work from my home, so I couldn't see my customers unless I went to them. It was definitely worth the money, and I would use them again.
Description of Work: I have used Modern Pest to control wasps in my attic. I last used them about three years ago. They only have yearly contracts. They don't just come out once.
