Modern Pest Control

🚪 A quick note about door-to-door pest control sales

Over the last couple weeks, we’ve had multiple customers reach out and tell us that door-to-door sales reps from national pest control companies have been making claims about Modern Pest Control that simply are not true.

Unfortunately, this happens in the pest control industry every year. This year it seems to be a little more aggressive than normal.

We’re not here to bash anyone. We’re here to remind our customers and neighbors of a few simple things:

✅ We are locally owned and operated
✅ We live and work in the same communities we serve
✅ We do not require long-term contracts
✅ We give honest recommendations based on your home, not a sales quota
✅ If something doesn’t sound right, you can always call or text us directly

If someone knocks on your door and makes claims about your current service, pricing, warranty, or our company, please feel free to reach out before making a decision.

We appreciate every customer who has taken the time to let us know what’s being said. Your trust means everything to us.

Local. Honest. Professional.
Modern Pest Control

No Contracts. Just Great Service.

At Modern Pest Control, we believe your continued business should be earned—not locked in.

We offer both:

✔ One-time pest-control services
✔ Affordable ongoing maintenance service
✔ No long-term contracts
✔ The freedom to stop service if it’s no longer the right fit

Regular maintenance is the best choice for many homes because it helps prevent pest problems before they get established. But not every customer, home, or situation needs the same plan—and that’s okay.

Our goal is not to trap people in an agreement. It’s to solve your pest problem, communicate clearly, and provide service good enough that you choose to keep us around.

Sometimes we’re a great fit. Sometimes we aren’t. We’d rather earn happy, long-term customers through honest work than keep unhappy customers because of a contract.

Carpenter ant swarmer season is here in Western Washington.
If you've noticed large winged ants around your windows, doors, or outdoor lights recently, you're not alone. Late June is one of the most common times for mature carpenter ant colonies to release swarmers.
A few outside is normal.
Large numbers inside your home can be a warning sign that a colony may be nesting nearby or inside the structure.
Carpenter ants are especially attracted to moisture-damaged wood, crawlspaces, decks, and areas with chronic water intrusion.
If you're unsure whether you're seeing carpenter ants or termites, take a photo and send it to us. We're always happy to help identify what you're dealing with.
