Professional ant control for South Carolina homes and businesses. Modern identifies active areas, entry points, food and moisture sources, and the conditions helping ants thrive so treatment can focus on the problem at its source.
Ants are often drawn indoors by food, water, shelter, and easy access around foundations, doors, windows, utility penetrations, and other small openings. A visible trail may only be one part of a larger colony or nesting problem.
Modern takes a practical approach to ant control. We inspect for activity and contributing conditions, identify the areas that need attention, and build a treatment and prevention plan around your property rather than relying on a one-size-fits-all application.
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.
Every visit includes the same core steps, built to solve the problem instead of masking it for a few days.
A technician inspects the property inside and out, identifies the pest and the conditions behind it, and locates entry points and likely nest or harborage sites before any treatment begins.

The pest, the severity, and the property determine the plan. A minor problem calls for a different approach than a heavy infestation or a structural issue.
3
Technicians apply targeted treatments at entry points, nesting sites, and problem areas, matched to the pest and the property, indoors and outdoors as needed.

After treatment, technicians point out conditions that invite pests back, such as moisture or exposed food sources, and schedule follow-up service if activity continues.
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 to the questions homeowners ask most often about ant activity, prevention, and when it may be time to call a professional.
Ants commonly enter buildings while searching for food, water, shelter, and suitable nesting conditions. Small gaps around doors, windows, foundations, and utility lines can provide easy access.
Food residue, accessible pantry items, pet food, moisture, leaks, and outdoor nesting areas close to the structure can all contribute to ant activity.
Keeping food sealed, cleaning spills and crumbs, reducing moisture, trimming vegetation away from the structure, and sealing obvious gaps can help reduce conditions that attract ants.
If ant trails keep returning, activity is widespread, or you cannot locate the source, a professional inspection can help identify where ants are coming from and what treatment makes sense.
Seeing a few ants does not always show the full extent of the problem. Trails can lead back to nests outside, inside wall voids, around moisture sources, or in other protected areas. That is why effective ant control starts with understanding where the activity is coming from.
Modern serves residential and commercial properties with one-time and recurring pest-control options. The recommended approach depends on the level of activity, property conditions, and whether ant pressure is isolated or part of a broader recurring pest issue.
Treatment is only part of long-term pest management. Reducing the conditions ants use for food, water, shelter, and access can make a property less inviting.
Modern’s technicians can point out practical prevention opportunities as part of the service process.
Pricing depends on the pest, property, and service plan. Contact Modern for an estimate tailored to your situation. General calls to action should request a free estimate or quote, not a free inspection.
For most general pest treatments, you do not need to be home. Interior work may require access. Termite inspections can generally be completed without you being home.
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.
