Always goes very well.
Description of Work: Sentry comes to my house monthly to spray for spiders, ants and bugs. Bill, my technician, does a wonderful job and we've not had any problems.

We recently got serviced from Sentry for the first time and I couldn't be happier! I felt like the last company we used to use would nickel & dime us every chance they got, however, with Sentry I didn't feel that way at all!! Chris came to service us and he thoroughly explained everything to me and made me feel like I definitely made the right decision to try a new pest control company. Not only was their technician great their office staff was too! I had to reschedule and they were more then willing to assist me without any issues.. Let's just say after this great first encounter we signed up for their general pest services for every other month.

We are so appreciative to the professionalism and attentiveness that Sentry Termite & Pest Control Company has shown us in helping us with our bee problem. Our chimney was invaded by bees that ultimately made a beehive in it. The bees were getting into our home, and we didn't know what to do. During the day, you could hardly walk outside because the bees where so active. I called Sentry on a whim, and they were willing to send someone over to assess the situation. Their technician Bill arrived at our home, on time, and was very professional and knowledgeable. He came completely prepared and suited up to go on top of our house. Bill was able to successfully remove and relocate the hive. Bill even put shoe covers on his feet when he entered our home to look at the inside of the chimney. He was that concerned about keeping my floors clean. I was completely 100% + satisfied with the job that Sentry performed at our home. Their attention to detail, safety and concern for the bees was top notch. I would not hesitate to recommend Sentry to my family and friends.

Three times I had to reschedule service due to their inability to meet the appointment. First time I was contacted by the office 48 hours before appointment telling me inspector had another appointment or personal issue that came up and he would not be able to come out as scheduled and could they reschedue for the following week. Ok. That appointment was a "no show". I called the office and they said they hadn't been able to get a hold of inspector, but when they did they would have him come out. I told them I had to get to work and couldn't wait longer. They apologized and we tried again setting appointment for following Monday and they assured me he would be onsite by 7:30 am. Sunday at 5pm I received a call from the estimater saying he had something else come up and wouldn't be able to make the appointment - could he come later or reschedule. No thank you. I will find another provider.

Response from Sentry Termite & Pest Control, Inc.
Dear Sir, As the owner of Sentry I can assure you that I take these kinds of experience's with my company very seriously. I am truly sorry that we let you down. August is our #1 busiest month of the entire year and sometimes manpower can be over extended during this busiest of times. I hope that in the future you may consider giving us a second chance to show you what kind of company we really are. I know that prior to this, a technician was dispatched to your home to provide a free Termite inspection. Did you have any comments about that experience that you would like to share?

Once the inspection report was submitted to us, we noted that they had included items which the HOA was responsible for. Once that was pointed out to Sentry they provided us with a revised inspection report indicating only 2 of the 19 original items to be our responsibility but they had changed the verbage from the original report regarding these two items. I telephone their office to find out why they changed the wording from the original report and was told that the technician would have to call me the next morning with the explanation. When I didn't recieve that call, I again called Sentry during their regular business hours and got their voice mail. I left a message asking them to please return my call which they did not. I then sent them an email asking the same question to which I got an very unprofessional, over inflated egotistical reply from John Lewis, President of Sentry Termite & Pest Control, Inc. He stated that the revised report was "identical" to the original and that I could file a complaint with the Structural Pest Control Board if I was dissatisfied. This entire fisaco was initiated by them changing the wording from the original report to the revised report. It could have been easily handled with just a telephone call and explanation which they chose not to do. Needless to say, I DO NOT recommend this company.
Description of Work: They came out to a condo that we have for sale and did a termite inspection.

Response from Sentry Termite & Pest Control, Inc.
After a complete interior/exterior Termite inspection was performed, (deleted member name) own real estate agent called us and asked that we omit any exterior or HOA responsibility items from our report. We did exactly that. When this happens, verbiage is placed in the report that the inspection was limited to the interior only. This is done for two reasons, it's required by state law and we do it for liability reasons. If something comes up later after a sale regarding Termites on the exterior, we technically did not inspect the exterior and therefore cannot be held liable for it. She called our office somewhat hostile for an explanation and was told she would receive a call back from the inspector the next day. The next day came and she had not yet heard back from our inspector. She called and left a message and within moments, sent out a widespread e-mail to all involved in her transaction and accused my company of making false stuff up on the interior of her condo so we could find a way to make money from her. Nothing was changed on the second report other than the word "interior". The placement on the first diagram showed the Termites to be at an interior window and it showed that same location on the revised report. My best guess is that she was unaware that her real estate agent call us and requested the changes. We did not do that on our own and that has probably led to some confusion for her and thus a less than pleasant experience with our company.

We discovered recently that we have a pretty pervasive gopher problem. After calling a few other companies for comparison: Sentry was the most reasonably priced (for the lengthy treatment process needed to fix our problem) and the most thorough in initial inspection (and was even willing to come look at our property while we were at work!) Their technician showed up on the first day for treatment: he was super prompt (even beat me there--I was on my way home from work...) and was professional and courteous. When he was done, he explained all work he did (the full where, how and why's) and cheerfully answered all additional questions I had. We are very impressed so far.
Description of Work: Gopher treatment in our yard: Sentry came in analyzed our problem, determined the proper method for treatment and applied buried pellets in our yard for repellant/extermination. (approx. cost was for initial treatment of yard...we purchased a years worth of maintanence treatments too for an additional cost to cover the extensive damage and infestation we have...)

I had an ant problem and I phoned them and the company came out that same morning. I called about 8 am and they came around 9:30 so there were serious about the fact that if you have any infestations while working with them they will come right out and fix the problem for you. They are very nice and a locally owned business. The guy that came out was very professional and their price and quality is exceptional!
Description of Work: I spend $60 every two months for pest control. I am on a general pest control which includes ants and other bugs.
