Family-owned pest control company expands to serve Elgin and surrounding Midlands communities
Modern Exterminating will celebrate the opening of their newest location at 824 Ridgeway Road in Lugoff, SC with a ribbon-cutting event planned for April 22, 2026 and a grand opening on May 6, 2026 with additional details to be announced.
The new office strengthens the company’s presence in the rapidly growing Elgin and Lugoff area and will help improve service and response times for homeowners and businesses throughout the Midlands.
Elgin’s continued growth was a key factor in the company’s decision to open the location. With the upcoming Scout Motors manufacturing plant and related businesses expected to bring new residents and economic activity to the region, Modern Exterminating positioned the new office to meet the area’s increasing demand for pest control services.
“Elgin is a growing area with a lot of potential,” said Davis Cornwell, Branch Manager at Modern Exterminating. “We wanted to get ahead of that growth and make sure we’re ready to serve the homeowners and businesses moving into the area.”
The Elgin branch will offer the company’s full range of residential and commercial pest management services. By establishing a local office, Modern Exterminating aims to improve dispatch times while giving customers in the community a visible reminder that their pest control provider is local and accessible.
Founded more than 70 years ago, Modern Exterminating is a third-generation, family-owned company known for its commitment to professional service and community involvement. The company regularly participates in local service projects and supports community initiatives through volunteer efforts and financial contributions.
“We’re proud to be a local, family-owned business, and being part of the communities we serve means everything to us,” Cornwell said. “Our message to Elgin homeowners is simple — we’re here to serve you and your community.”
The new office is part of the company’s ongoing effort to support healthy growth across its service area while continuing its long-standing tradition of dependable pest control and strong community relationships.
