Local pest control from Modern Exterminating’s Columbia headquarters at 2119 Gadsden Street. Three generations of the same family serving this city since 1955, with general pest, termite, wildlife, moisture, mosquito and commercial service.
Columbia sits in the Sandhills, and the soil here creates problems most of the country does not have. Sandy soil washes out under foundations and leaves voids where water collects. Clay swells when wet and shrinks when dry, stressing crawl space walls.
The city takes 45 to 46 inches of rain a year, well above the national average. That moisture drives almost everything else, because subterranean termites, roaches, silverfish and rodents all want the same damp crawl space.
From recurring pest control and termite protection to wildlife, moisture, mosquito, and commercial programs, Modern builds practical solutions around your property. Integrated Pest Management guides our service-first approach.
Inspections, baiting systems, pre-construction treatment, and CL100 / WDO support.
Recurring and one-time protection for common household pests with an IPM-first approach.
Trapping, removal, exclusion, and damage repair for common South Carolina wildlife.
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.
Our Columbia office is the heart of Modern Exterminating and serves the greater Columbia market with residential and commercial pest control programmes.
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.
Columbia housing runs from historic homes in Shandon and Rosewood to new construction on the Blythewood corridor, and the pest problems are not the same. Older areas have settled foundations, original framing and entry gaps that newer builds do not.
Mild winters add the second factor. Rodents stay active indoors here year round rather than retreating seasonally, so infestations do not follow the cold-weather pattern people moving from further north expect.
Most recurring pest problems in Columbia trace back to the crawl space. Treating the house above a damp crawl space treats a symptom, which is why moisture is part of every inspection.
Recurring and one-time service for ants, cockroaches, spiders, bed bugs, fleas, ticks, silverfish, earwigs, stinging insects, pantry pests, mice and rats. Termite, wildlife and moisture control are available as separate services from the same office.
Programmes for property management, multi-family housing, restaurants, food processing, healthcare, offices and retail, and warehousing. Multi-family work around the university area is a significant part of what this office does.
