Lawn pest reduction for Midlands yards. Fire ants, fleas, ticks and turf pests treated across the areas your family and pets actually use.
A yard is not one habitat. Fire ants build mounds in open sun, ticks wait along the shaded wooded edge, and fleas concentrate in damp shade under decks and shrub lines.
That is why blanket lawn spraying underperforms. We treat the specific zones where each pest actually lives, concentrated on the parts of the yard people and pets use, and return through the season.
Years of Local Service
local & Family-Owned Since 1955
Modern Exterminating has been the longest-standing, local and family-owned pest control company serving the area since 1955. Now in its third generation, the company runs by a simple standard, a PHD in customer care: professional, honest, and dependable, on every visit.
Map the zones, treat each for what actually lives there, and return through the season as pressure changes.
We walk the property and map the zones: open turf, shaded edges, damp areas and the spaces your family uses.
2
Treatment planned per zone rather than applied uniformly, because the pests are not distributed uniformly.
3
Targeted treatment for fire ant mounds, tick habitat along the wooded edge and flea harborage in damp shade.
4
Mowing, drainage and vegetation guidance, plus scheduled return visits through the season.
Modern Exterminating stands behind every visit. If a problem returns within a reasonable time after treatment, we come back and address it at no extra charge.
Quick answers on fire ants, yard fleas and ticks, and what is actually chewing up your turf.
Aggressive mound builders in open lawn, and a genuine safety issue with children and pets. Mound-by-mound treatment plus broadcast reduction.
Fleas concentrate in damp shade under decks and shrub lines. Ticks wait along the wooded edge. Both need the habitat treated, not the open lawn.
Grubs, chinch bugs, armyworms and mole crickets are the usual causes in the Midlands. The damage pattern tells us which one.
Your technician will tell you how long to keep pets off treated areas. Tell us about pets when you schedule so we can plan around them.
Fire ants are the most common reason Midlands homeowners call about the yard. Mounds appear in open sun, colonies rebuild quickly after disturbance, and stings are a real concern where children and pets play.
Turf damage is a separate problem. Grubs feed on roots and leave patches that lift like carpet. Chinch bugs cause irregular yellowing in sunny areas. Armyworms strip blades quickly in late summer. Mole crickets tunnel just below the surface. The damage pattern usually identifies the cause.
Habitat does as much as treatment, particularly for fleas and ticks.
Lawn pest reduction pairs naturally with mosquito service, since both work the same outdoor zones.
Colonies rebuild and new ones move in from surrounding property, so ongoing seasonal treatment is the realistic approach rather than one-time elimination. Mound treatment plus broadcast reduction is what keeps pressure down.
Your technician will tell you how long to stay off treated areas, which depends on the product and conditions. Tell us about pets and children when you schedule.
Appointment length depends on the treatment and property. Our team will explain what to expect, provide an arrival window, and call on the way.
Modern uses low-toxicity, professional products and follows service-specific safety requirements. Some treatments require people or pets to stay out of treated areas until the materials are dry or for a specified period.
