Modern Pest Services adds local pest control provider in Maine.

Brunswick, ME –December 9, 2021 – Modern Pest Services announced its newest partner in New England with the acquisition of Ants Plus Pest Control based in Sabattus, Maine.

Ants Plus Pest Control, which also operates as Bug Beaters Pest Control, is a local, family-owned and operated company providing commercial, residential, and industrial pest control throughout Southern, Mid-coast, and Downeast Maine. Founded in 2001 by Jim Carter, Ants Plus has seen tremendous growth both commercially and residentially.

Jim Carter, owner of Ants Plus, commented about the acquisition, “After a career in the Navy, I started Ants Plus with the goal of providing pest control services to assist those in our local community with their pest control needs.  A community-based commitment helped us to grow continually.  As I researched what the next steps were for the organization, I felt aligning with a company like Modern was an excellent opportunity for both my employees and clients to benefit from.”

Dennis Dube, presidente de Modern, comentó: “Our eleventh acquisition is a particularly exciting one as this is our first acquisition in Maine.   Modern has been based in Maine for over seventy-five years!  We are proud to continue to be Maine’s premier pest control provider and welcome the Ants Plus team who service clients in many of the same areas that Modern is so well regarded.”  Dube further added, “This acquisition will help build density throughout each of our Maine branches, which means more technicians available to provide even faster response when our clients need us.  We love when the customer wins!”

This is Modern’s eleventh acquisition in New England since joining Anticimex in 2017.
