Modern Pest Services

Modern Pest Services runs its Woburn branch as part of Anticimex's New England network, handling routine pest control, termite and bed bug work, and wildlife exclusion for homes and businesses across Massachusetts, Connecticut, Maine, New Hampshire, and Rhode Island. The company says it's been doing this for more than 80 years, and it carries a QualityPro certification from the National Pest Management Association alongside a BBB A+ grade (accredited since September 2022) and a July 2024 Best Pick Reports certification for its tri-annual residential program, mosquito and termite control, and eco-friendly HomeCare Green options. The reviews back up the paper trail. Google shows a 4.7★ average across 609 ratings, and every one of the 25 reviews on file — dated from late 2025 into mid-2026 — comes in at 4 or 5 stars, with zero negative marks in the past six months. What stands out isn't generic praise but technicians actually walking customers through the work: checking bait stations, spraying for ants, explaining what's being treated and why. One tenant described a technician's May 2026 visit that involved a full exterior treatment and clear instructions about keeping windows shut until it settled. In a January 2026 review, a customer described two technicians patching a hole squirrels had been using to get into the house and installing a one-way exclusion door — the squirrels haven't been heard from since, a concrete, checkable result that's harder to find than a five-star rating. The one wrinkle worth asking about: a June 2026 review called the service "a little pricey" even while rating it favorably, so it's worth getting a number up front. Nothing else in the record raises a flag. For routine pest control or a specific problem like a wildlife entry point, the pattern here is technicians who explain the job rather than just doing it — get a quote before booking, and check whether the Woburn branch or a closer one covers the visit.
