General insect control in Columbia from our headquarters at 2119 Gadsden Street. One recurring plan covering the insects this city actually produces.
Columbia’s climate and soil give insects a longer active season than most of the country. Warm, humid conditions run from spring well into autumn, and mild winters mean indoor populations never fully shut down.
Most of what we treat traces back to the same root: crawl space moisture. Ants, cockroaches, silverfish and earwigs all want damp, dark, undisturbed space, and in a city built largely on crawl spaces that is not hard to find.
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.
4
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.
Insect pressure in Columbia is continuous rather than episodic, which is why recurring service usually works out better than calling when something appears.
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.
ModernCare plans start at 38 dollars a month and cover ants, cockroaches, spiders, silverfish, earwigs, seasonal invaders, pantry pests and more. One-time treatment makes sense for a contained problem, and we will tell you honestly which you are dealing with.
Because we handle moisture control as well as pest management, we can address the crawl space conditions driving recurring problems rather than treating the same symptom every quarter.
Identification comes first, because several of these need the opposite of what people instinctively do.
Fire ants in open lawn, odorous house ants in kitchens, carpenter ants wherever there is damp wood. German roaches breeding indoors are the serious roach problem; American palmetto bugs wandering in from crawl spaces mean much less.
Silverfish, earwigs, centipedes and millipedes all trace back to humidity. Drying the crawl space does more than repeat treatment ever will.
For most Columbia properties yes, because pressure here is continuous rather than episodic. Reactive treatment usually costs more over a year.
Usually crawl space moisture. Ants, roaches, silverfish and earwigs all want the same damp conditions, and treating above a wet crawl space treats the symptom.
Products are vetted and applied by licensed technicians. Your technician reviews re-entry times and areas to keep pets away from before starting.
Ants, cockroaches, spiders, silverfish, earwigs, seasonal invaders, pantry pests, mice and rats. Termite, wildlife and moisture control are separate services from the same office.
