Rich is absolutely fantastic. When we discovered squirrels in our attic (which was a relief as I…read moreactually had convinced myself that there was a serial killer living inside) he came right over, throughly explained what steps he would take, and set a humane trap for the animals. As soon as the first squirrel took the peanut bait, Rich came right back over (in a snow storm!) to collect the little guy. He repeatedly assured me that he would take him to a nice, safe place, just far enough away so that Mr. Squirrel would not be able to move back into my house. Rich then continued to set traps to catch and release the squirrel family until everyone was accounted for. Finally, once the weather improved he was able to seal the hole in our attic. Chip & Dale will need to find a new clubhouse for their shenanigans this year.

Richard Varney of Advantage Pest Control in South Portland, ME is the only pest control service who…read morehas ever been able to get rid of the squirrels that had made a nest in the under eave closet of my old house. In the past four years I have had THREE different companies come and charge me a good deal of money (i.e. $750.00; $950.00 and $1500.00 respectively) and did not eradicate the problem at all. The first time was three years ago and the squirrels did stay gone for a while but they were back this Thanksgiving when the last two services were employed and did nothing except take my money. Richard Varney did things differently than any of these other companies and that is why he is the best. What he didn't do was just stick a trap up on the roof and expect the squirrels to waltz in it after a few days but no longer than five . . . Both companies said they would seal the holes so there would be no way the squirrels could get back in and both were wrong - they did. Richard came to my house, every day, for over three weeks before he was sure they were out and gone. He trapped the adults but there were still babies. He is the only one I know that put foam in the holes first . . . and then waited to see if it remained or was pushed out - indicating that there was still activity. He built a rest for a trap on the side of the house, because that was where it was needed. He is also the nicest, kindest man I've met in this business. I was devastated when the previous company allowed a trapped squirrel to die of exposure on my roof during a severe rainstorm. I called and asked them to please come and get it before it died, and they said, "All their technicians had gone home" . . . and it died a horrible, slow death. Richard was just the opposite. As soon as I texted him that there was a squirrel in the trap, he was on his way over. He cares about both his clients and the animals he needs to trap. You will get no better than RICHARD VARNEY and ADVANTAGE PEST CONTROL. They were simply the only ones in over three years and four companies that could actually do the job they promised. I urge you to contact Advantage Pest Control for any of your future needs.

I would like to say how professional, friendly and just great to work with Anthony was. We had a…read moresquirrel problem in Harpswell and he jumped right on it; putting traps on the roof and personally checking it each day. He also sent me an email every afternoon stating exactly what he had done and how many squirrels he had trapped and humanely transported to a "new home". Thanks Modern Pest for all you did...it was great working with Anthony..

in 2024 i requested Modern Pests services to help with bats in my attic. they responded well and…read moreinstalled 1 way bat traps on my roof. the issue came with the removal. i would check the portal to see removal services scheduled only to find no one came out or there was snow on my roof and couldn't remove the traps (understandable) a year and a half later a tech came out to remove the traps. a few days later my wife asks what is in the front yard? it was the removed bat traps just thrown on my front lawn. when i went to check the roof for the traps there was still a trap in my roof. not only did they not perform the full removal but they left trash on my front lawn. i wrote to modern pest who just quietly scheduled another bat trap removal with the same tech who left trash on my lawn the first time. when i called them directly i wasn't able to speak to a manager on duty at all. No manager contacted me prior to just scheduling another removal even though the report the tech wrote out stated he removed all traps the first time. so clearly they were aware of my issue before scheduling another removal appointment and just never bothered to reach out to apologize or anything.

His recommendations included not only treatment but also prevention. It was affordable (much less than the cost of all the food we had to throw out due to our ant infestation) and he was quick to respond to my calls. Can't recommend enough.

Nate is fantastic! He is extremely knowledgeable, friendly, fast and efficient! I had a mouse…read moreproblem, he came over the day I called, checked out my attic, cellar and all around the outside of my house. He found where the mice were getting in and gave me a choice as to fixing it myself or having him do it. He also set traps in the attic and got the mice. I asked him to fix the entry holes and he set bait boxes outside to further deter future mouse issues. All in all, it was very reasonably priced and totally worth the peace of mind. I highly recommend his services.

He has taken care of many different critters (from flying squirrels to mice). He is so punctual, professional, reachable, and dependable.

Selina(owner) was very professional and kind in scheduling us for inspection and service the next day. Both she and technician Ken arrived promptly, assessing our entire home and basement. Ken stated he has been in the pest/animal control business for 30 years. We knew we called the right company to eradicate our mice issue. We felt Advanced Pest Solutions devised and implemented a plan to remediate our situation with follow up to evaluate success. They also sprayed the home, basement and shed perimeters for other spiders, flies and random pests. We are glad we chose this company and highly recommend for any pest control issues.

When we first moved into our house it was uncared for and overgrown. We were pulling a couple ticks off ourselves every day. It's been a year and half since advanced pest solutions started spraying for ticks on our property and in that year and a half we've had exactly 0 ticks. Truly incredible work. They also eradicated the rats from the basement, which took some serious, methodical effort on their part. We have been so lucky to have advanced pest solutions in our lives, honestly don't think we'd still be living here if we hadn't found them. If you're looking for someone to deal with ticks, mosquitos, rodents, wasps, or whatever else Maine throws at you, there is no one else I would consider. Advanced pest solutions is the only option, they're that good.
