How it works

Modesto Bug Control is a website and a phone number. It connects people who have a pest problem with independent companies that treat them.

Call (209) 919-2355

Calls are answered early morning to late evening

The call, step by step

  1. Dial the number

    Your call goes through a call network that routes it by area to an independent pest control company taking calls. The call may be recorded.

  2. Talk to the company

    Someone from the company asks what you are seeing. Have the address or ZIP code ready, and be ready to say how long it has been going on.

  3. Get your questions answered

    It usually takes a few minutes to cover the problem, the first visit and what affects the price. There is no script you need to follow.

  4. Choose what happens next

    You can book with them, ask for time to think, or say no. Any agreement is between you and that company.

Who this number is for

  • People with a current pest problem at a home in the Modesto area, or who need a termite inspection.
  • Renters are welcome to call too, though your landlord may be responsible. See renters, landlords and pests.
  • It is not for sales calls, job inquiries or questions about an existing account with another company.

What this number doesn't cover

The companies on this line do not handle these, so please don't call about them: bagworms, bat bugs, cats, chipmunks, squirrels, woodchucks, crane flies, drain flies, grasshoppers, fruit flies, gnats, honeybees, June bugs, lawn pests (aphids, snails, grubs, slugs, chiggers, chinch bugs), lice, lizards, maggots, mites of any kind, scabies, snakes, worms and raccoons. The line does not arrange lawn care, wildlife removal or bee removal.

How the site is paid

Companies or the network pay for referred calls. You pay only the company you hire, for work you agree to. The site does not rank companies. The referral disclosure has more.

Seeing it now? Make the call.

You will be connected with an independent pest control company that works in your area. Say what you have seen and where, then ask about the visit. Nothing is decided until you agree to it with the company.
