Thanks for your review, but our records show that we have not been to your home since 2004. It must have been a different company that you called. Let us know if we can help in the future. I assure you that we have a good record of getting rid of ants and all the other pests that we treat for.

The inspector/sales person was very professional and thorough. They allowed for a short notice scheduling when it came time to treat the driveway after it was demolished but before it was replaced which prevented drilling in brand new concrete. However, it took a couple of calls to get it finalized, as my wife was told one date (which was greater than 1 week) and I was told an earlier date (a few of days). We may have been talking to 2 different people regarding the scheduling. We received bids from 3 companies and the price was in-line with the other 2 bids.
Description of Work: Provided termite treatment to house which included coordination with driveway replacement to treat the area before cement was poured.

I was really glad they work on Saturday, so I didn't have to take off work. The exterminator was on time, very friendly and professional, and he gave me a discount for being a first time customer. When I called to schedule an appointment, they found my house address in their files, even though I had never used Gunter. They had treated my house for termites long before I lived there in 1976, so they told me I didn't have to ever worry about termites, so that was good to know!
Description of Work: I had a spider problem so Gunter Pest sprayed and bug bombed our house. The next day the spiders were dropping like flies.

The technician was on time, polite, and seemed knowledgeable of his trade. I had inquired about additional service and while he could have easily performed the additional service at additional cost to me, he kindly informed me that the service was unnecessary at this time. I was very pleased with the service and will continue to use Gunter Pest Management for regular service.

They have been very good. They are prompt and call me the day before to notify when they will arrive. They let me know that we all needed to be out of the house for 2 hours. I appreciated their thoughtfulness. They come every 6 months and spray the whole house. We haven't noticed as many bugs and spiders. They are very professional.

I DON'T THINK I'LL USE GUNTER AGAIN. THEY ARRIVE EARLY AND I HAVE CAUGHT THEM LEAVING AS I AM PULLING UP TO THE HOUSE, ON TIME. THEY ARE CUTTING CORNERS, NOT SPRAYING IN THE GARAGE, SHED, OR ATTIC IF IT IS INCONVENIENT. NOT VERY COOL TO HAVE TO MANAGE THEIR STAFF!
