Serving Midlands and Upstate, South Carolina
Satisfaction Guaranteed • PHD in Customer Care
Trapping, removal, exclusion and dead animal removal for Midlands properties. One team for the whole job, rather than a trapper for one half and a contractor for the other.
Wildlife work splits into two parts that usually get handled by two different companies. Someone traps the animal. Someone else, eventually, seals the opening. In between, the next animal moves in.
We handle both. Trapping and removal, dead animal removal where something has died in a wall or crawl space, and the exclusion work that closes the access permanently. That is the part that decides whether you call again next 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.
Inspect and identify, remove the animal, seal and repair the access, then correct what attracted it in the first place.

Modern stands behind its pest control work. If a problem comes back within a reasonable time after service, contact our team and we’ll help address it according to the service plan.
We handle the species that turn up on Midlands properties most often, and we will tell you honestly when something falls outside our scope.
Crawl space and deck denning, garbage raiding, and the fleas and ticks they bring onto the property with them.
Denning under decks, sheds and crawl spaces. Odour and burrow damage, and removal that needs handling carefully for obvious reasons.
Foundation burrowing and landscape damage. Armadillos root through lawns and beds, groundhogs undermine structures and gardens.
Lawn tunnelling and root damage. Ongoing yard disruption rather than a structural problem, but persistent without intervention.
Our wildlife exclusion services cover bats, snakes, skunks, squirrels, raccoons, opossums, groundhogs, armadillos, moles, voles, rats and mice. Service is available from our Columbia, Lexington and Lugoff-Elgin locations.
Wildlife handling in South Carolina carries regulations on trapping, relocation and seasonal timing, and some species have protections that shape when and how removal can happen. We work within those rather than around them.
Removal clears the current occupant. Exclusion is what stops the next one.
Skipping the exclusion is why wildlife problems repeat on a yearly cycle, and why the cheaper quote often costs more over three seasons.
We handle exclusion repairs at the entry points. For broader structural or interior restoration we will tell you clearly what is needed and what falls outside our scope.
Same-day appointments are available depending on scheduling. Call and we will tell you honestly what we can do today rather than promising something we cannot deliver.
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.
