Modern Pest Services Acquires Advantage Pest Control

BRUNSWICK, Maine - Modern Pest Services, an Anticimex company, announced its newest partner in New England with the acquisition of Advantage Pest Control of South Portland, Maine.

Advantage is a local, family-owned, and operated company providing commercial, residential, and industrial pest control throughout Maine. Founded in 1997 by Richard Varney, Advantage has seen impressive growth both commercially and residentially.

Richard Varney, owner of Advantage, commented about the acquisition, “Our mission was simple, provide excellent service, be friendly to our clients, and have highly trained technicians. As I looked at the future of the business, I felt aligning with a company like Modern was an excellent opportunity for both my employees and clients to benefit from."

David Lock, president of Modern, added, “Our 12th acquisition is exciting as this is our 2nd acquisition here in Maine.   Modern was founded in Maine over 77 years ago!  We are proud to continue to be Maine’s premier pest control provider and welcome the Advantage team who service clients in many of the same areas that Modern is so well regarded.”  Lock further added, “This acquisition complements our current service territories well and will help build density throughout each of our Maine branches.  This addition provides more technicians available to provide faster response when our clients need us.  We love when the customer wins!”
