Have you been thinking about hiring a professional pest management company to combat those pesky, invasive, and often hard-to-get-rid-of critters in your home or business? We all want pests out of our spaces – they cause a range of problems such as property damage and the spread of diseases. Sometimes homeowners and business owners take pest control into their own hands, and on the surface, it may seem like the problem has been solved. However, hiring a professional service, with their expertise, specialized tools, and customer commitment, will provide important benefits.

  • Professional Expertise and Experience: professional pest control services have specialized training, and on-the-job experience to be able to identify specific pests that have infested your space. They know the most effective – and safest – forms of control to combat your unwanted visitors.

  • Effective and Specialized Products and Tools: pest control services use a wide range of weapons that are specifically designed to control specific pests and environments. These products and tools are often more effective, safer, and longer-lasting than what you as a homeowner or business owner could buy at the store. Aside from the tools themselves, pest control professionals are experienced and trained in using their products in the most effective and safe way.

  • Continuous Protection: professional pest control companies provide ongoing pest control and preventative maintenance. Many, including Sentry Pest Control, offer long-term reoccurring service so they revisit your home or business on a repeat basis, such as monthly, bi-monthly, or quarterly. Once the initial pest management services has been completed, reoccurring visits will ensure future prevention from infestations.

  • Saving Time and Money: in most cases, if you treat pest infestations on your own, you are effectively treating the symptom of the infestation, and not able to dig into, and eradicate, the underlying sources of those pests. So while it may seem cheaper to use your own products, it can lead you to spend more money by treating just the symptoms over and over again. When you hire a professional pest control company like Sentry Pest Control, you hire a team that has the expertise, experience, and tools to get rid of the problem for good. And, ongoing professional pest control treatments ensure long-term results.

  • Safer Treatments: It is sometimes necessary to use chemicals like pesticides or insecticides. These toxins are used to control stubborn pest populations as best as possible. Your professional pest management technicians understand the damage these chemicals can cause, which is why they recommended using harmful chemicals as a last resort. Technicians will use chemicals correctly prevent harmful effects on your health and overall property. They will also use fewer harmful chemicals to deal with the pest problem, and they also know the correct ways to handle these chemicals, implement safe treatment, and clean up after their services.

Additionally, there are types of pests that carry diseases such as malaria and rabies. Handling this situation on your own can put you at risk of coming into contact with these pests. A technician has the proper pest control tools and training necessary to effectively control pest populations without putting themselves at unnecessarily high risk.


  • Education! Sentry Pest Control doesn’t just eliminate your pests. We also work with you to educate you about the pests you are combating, specific reasons they may be invading, how to mitigate their entry, and what you can do to pest-protect your home between pest management services.
