I had them out to check for termites as our neighbor's house recently sold, and there was "minor evidence" there. They did a thorough inspection, found a bit of wood rot, and gave me a very reasonable price to fix. Hired them to do the repairs, and they were on time, clean, and completed the job on time. Would definitely recommend! read more

Really GREAT, responsive customer service. Everyone from the estimator to the workmen who tented our home, Rudy and team who worked on our new patio cover to John at the main office whom I inundated with questions several times. We highly recommend Sentry. read more

I've used Sentry for several years and they do an amazing job. I had tons of insects around the house and a cockroach breeding ground in a large area of backyard that was mulched. Sentry took care of the problem and have serviced my property for several years now. Rarely have I ever seen a single cockroach since going with Sentry. They come by every other month and put a protective barrier down that keeps everything out for a fair price. read more

I highly recommend Sentry Pest Control to all. Kevin is an amazing servicer. Every other month we receive a complimentary text reminding us of his visit to spray outdoors and indoors if we recommend it free of additional cost. Kevin also removes all spider webs/eggs on any patio furniture along with outdoor roof siding/eaves, and edges of our house. We were incredibly thankful all of the crawlies were gone after his visit as our new home had so many spider webs everywhere outside. Sentry also identified wood rot at our roof siding they will take care of for us. Many thanks for all, Kevin and John with long time, reputable, professional, and trustworthy family business, Sentry. read more

This company is great. I was referred by someone who knows the owner. I called got a quick response. Sent someone out the next day and the guys Rick was great. He was very informative and confirmed we didn't have termites and gave suggestions on prevention. All free. No charge for their time. This company gives great service. read more

I bought my house in 1985. The previous owner had used this company & I've used them ever since. It's a family owned business & the company was taken over by the original owners son. They come every 2 months & I haven't been bothered with insects. If there is an occasional problem, they will come out sooner at no extra charge. Their employees are knowledgeable & know what type of spray to use if there's any kind of infestation. read more

I recently used Sentry to fix several dry rot spots around my house. The inspector was on time, friendly and professional. I thought the quote was fair. The crew that showed up to do the work was also on time, professional, pleasant and cleaned up very well afterwards. I highly recommend them! read more

John was very responsive and got our fumigation scheduled on a tight timeline. Communication and price-wise, I think this is a good company. The fumigation itself pretty much went as expected, except I was disappointed to find about 15 of our roof tiles broken after. I had expected maybe a handful. I'd probably go with another company who takes a little more care (or hires subs who take a little more care) in the future. read more

This is an update on work that was recently done on a recent home purchase. The home we purchased was tented prior to occupancy and subsequently a part of the facia had dislodged posing a significant hazard since had it fallen it would easily kill if it landed on your head. Despite the significant rain that was happening John arranged for his service man to come out and repair it and it was done so well you can't even tell where it was repaired. read more

See all

Rick, with Sentry is knowledgeable, informative and performed a very thorough inspection. Extremely helpful. He was prompt for the inspection and very professional. Thank you so much! read more

I recently had a need for a quick appointment for tenting and termite repair. I called John at Sentry Termite and Pest control in Ventura and explained the necessity to get both done asap. Not only did he accommodate that but the work his company did was excellent. The contractor he sent to repair the termite damage was knowledgeable and did a great job. The tenting crew was likewise very professional (starting and ending with being on time) and I was completely satisfied with all of the work . I highly recommend their services read more

They got back to me extremely quickly and came to our house in a couple days. Found the problem and they are going to take care of it.

Sentry Termite & Pest Control took care of ALL my pest problems! I was so surprised with their level of professionalism and service. I have them do all of my routine pest control and they are FANTASTIC! read more

My house had termite and needed fumigation and wood replacement. Found Sentry through Yelp with positive review. Joanna is the main person I talk to and frankly, she was not nice and sometime come off as rude. She talk like she doesnt need any customer because they're way overbook. Base on the positive mention of Joanna, I expected better customer service. Fumigation job was ok, they broke 12 tiles of my Mediterranean orange roof tile and kill all the plants that were 6 feet bordering the house..... but that was to be expected based on the written contract. The guys that did wood replacement were very friendly but do a job I would call not very pleasing to look at. I may be the minority that have a negative experience with them. read more

I'm a ongoing regular client with service every 90 days. What is amazing and very professional is their integrity and reliability! They always guarantee and follow through with a free re-do, if there is rain within 24 hours of there pest control service! I am so impressed and tremendously pleased with the entire company!!

Needed to get a termite inspection as part of a home refinance, so called a few places and decided to go with Sentry Termite and Pest Control based on their great Yelp reviews and the price of the inspection, which was $50 less than a few other places I called. I was on a tight timeline to get the inspection and Sentry was able to have a technician come over to conduct the inspection within 24 hours of the time I called. The inspector arrived in time and was very friendly. The total inspection lasted about 30 minutes and as promised, they had the report in my e-mail inbox by the end of the day. One minor fix is needed, so I will have somebody come out fix it and get the final report for my mortgage company. Overall, I am very satisfied with this company! read more

I called Sentry last minute when needing a termite inspection with little time.. they were quick to reply and super quick to schedule an appointment. Rick was the tech and he was courteous, knowledgable and worked very cleanly and explained his process to me. I would use Sentry for termite inspection services again 100%. Thanks! read more

We've been using Sentry for years and we're truly grateful for services they provide. Thank you again!

I was in a bit of a rush to complete an inspection for a loan and Sentry was able to come out to the house quickly and complete my inspection. I ended up having a door that needed replacing and even though I did the work myself, they didn't charge for a reinspection. I found Rick knowledgeable and he gave me lots of tips about things to watch for around the property. Thanks guys! read more

I love the work of sentry pest control. 2 services and already i see the difference the first time i saw dead bugs everywhere but no ants anywhere to be seen. now I dont see bugs at all. I will keep using their services. read more

Rick is the best!!! He is always on time and so helpful. He goes above and beyond for us. We have him running all over SoCal!! Nicole is great as well. Always schedules our inspections with a smile and great attitude! My real estate team recommends Sentry to everyone looking for termite remediation!! read more

We called to have someone come assess a bug infestation in our home. They sent out a gentleman who told us it wasn't termites, told us he wasn't sure what they were but would take a sample specimen back to have it evaluated to see what type of bug it is. He said they would call us the next day. A couple days go by, the bugs haven't gone away, they didn't call so we call them. No one answered so we left a voicemail. Now a week later, still no call back from them. Horrible service with no regard for their customers. read more

My husband and I are purchasing our first home and were having scheduling conflicts with the company our realtor had recommended. So I came on Yelp and found Sentry. I called and left a message explaining that we needed a termite inspection. Joann called me back promptly and I explained that later in the day would work better for my husband and I as we both work full time. She was very accommodating and we scheduled and appointment right away. John arrived on time and was such a nice guy. Personable and efficient and luckily no termites were found! Turns out they did the inspection for this house the last time it was sold. If we ever have any pest issues in the future or have friends that need a termite inspection done I will gladly refer Sentry! I appreciate good service and they were cheaper than what the other company would have charged! read more

Best Pest Control Company Ever After returning from summer vacation, we discovered a bed bug infestation in two of our three bedrooms. Unfortunately, it was Friday night, Labor Day weekend. I called about six different companies who were open according to their websites, yet only one called me back. Frustrated, I emailed Sentry at about 8 pm explaining the situation, within 10 minutes Rudy called me. He said the owner/boss had forwarded my email to him. Not only were they checking emails on a Friday night, but were also responding to them. But, it gets better. Rudy came to our house on Labor Day, for no extra charge, to inspect and spray for bed bugs. We had the whole house done, just in case, and the prices were extremely reasonable considering the peace of mind we were looking for. We didn't feel pressured at all. Rudy was very thorough, very professional, and answered all of our questions. He sent me link to a Tumbler that he had created answering the most common questions. After the initial treatment, Rudy returned two more times and now were in our 60 day guarantee period. I hope I never get bed bugs again, but if someone I know does, then I will send them right to Sentry. read more

Impressive from start to finish ... from our original quote with John which was thorough with absolutely zero sales pitch or pressure (stuff we thought was termite damage wasn't, and stuff we didn't know was) ... John was professional and just knew his business. We finally called and scheduled almost a year later (nothing to do with them), and they honored the price they had quoted us, and booked us within a couple of weeks - all working within our schedule. Their crew was WONDERFUL - very respectful of our home, talked to us about plants we would temporarily lose because of the tenting and even explained how to bring them back. We were there to see the tent come off, and they were very careful with our property and very organized in putting everything away. A couple of hours later, you never knew we had it done. We are so glad we went with Sentry - they did a really great job! read more

I don't like giving bad reviews so I'm not even going to review the company that I had come out before Sentry. All I can say is that, I'm really glad I called Sentry instead of getting the other company (who also had great yelp reviews ) to come back. Sean was super professional and really took time to check out every nook and cranny looking for traces of the German Roaches that have been popping up in my kitchen. He pulled out my dishwasher and found a hatched roach sac. Yuck. I paid about half of what I thought I was going to pay and it comes with a 30 day guarantee. Very happy about the service that Sean from Sentry provided me. read more

I had rats somehow get into my attic. I called 4 pest control companies. Each came to my home and inspected my property, then provided a quote. 3 of those companies first and obvious top priorities were to sell "services" and "extras" prior to even looking at my attic. The sales pitches, lousy inspections and high estimates were unending... until Sentry showed up! Their guy was on time, professional, and got straight to work with my inspection and quote. He climbed up on my second story tile roof and located every access point. His quote was unbelievable reasonable and fair. When he came back to do the job, he was on time, quick and thorough. I got a six month guarantee, and darn it... those little boogers found a way back in! I called Sentry, they are on it!!! I am extremely impressed with this company! read more

Rarely do you leave a 5 star review for not getting a service. A sentry professional arrived at my home ON-TIME for our appointment and let me know that we likely did not have termites based on his assessment. It was nice knowing that they weren't going to try to have me pay a chunk of change for termites that weren't there. Thank you Sentry! read more

Not an honest company. They overbook themselves . Then they place your job on hold and you don't hear back from them for weeks. Do not use them read more

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 throughly 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. read more

Update: We were not treated with respect by Rick, and there is literally no excuse for that. He cut off my husband of mid sentence and was dismissive when we tried to Explain our side. (John who wrote the rebuttal was NOT there). Rick DID say there was a "miscommunication", but since he was the professional and we were new at this experience, tha fault lies with him. Our realtor said that this was the most expensive job she had ever seen (and it wasn't THAT big of a job). They said it was because of the high cost of lumber, but they really didn't replace much, like 10 pieces of wood and a couple of facia boards. not a $10,000 job. Seriously, if I knew they were going to do so little, for so much money, I would have hired my brother in law. He could have done what their 'professionals' did. The people working were great, we have zero complaints about them. Our entire issue was with Rick and the higher ups that don't seem to care if they have satisfied customers. They did a very expensive job for us, and left our home unfinished. We were told by Rick that "All you'll have to do is paint!", after they were done with an almost $10,000 job. When they finished we were told we STILL had to hire a roofer. He blamed us, because HE didn't know what our plans were after their work was done, but HE NEVER ASKED! As the professional, he should have been honest with us on what to expect. We would have handled everything differently if he was forthcoming. But since this was our first experience with any kind of pest control, (and Rick had vast experience), we didn't know what to expect. Rick was dismissive when we tried to fix this situation. Even after he admitted there was a miscommunication, he did nothing to help us. The only fix he offered was to charge us an ADDITIONAL $1,300 more and we would STILL need a roofer!!! I would definitely think twice before using them for ANY services. Even after tenting we still had ants and spiders the next day. read more

Great services, so helpful whether you are a homeowner or a renter. They have taken great care of us for several years and prices are affordable. Thank you! read more

Joanna & Rick aka the termite team is amazing. Always on top of things. Highly recommend them for all your termite needs. read more

I'm very happy with their work I totally would recommend them. They were very thorough, honest, and did a very good clean job.

Great honest company. Company did free inspection on what I thought was a bed bug problem picked up from hotel earlier in week. They did a free inspection that was very thorough. No problems found and no charge. They suspected it was an outside mosquito problem. Strongly recommend. read more

I wish I could be among the many folks who've left positive reviews for this company, but we unfortunately could not be more disappointed by our service from Sentry. When we saw several lines of ants right outside our property, we decided to proactively address the problem before the weather got too hot and drove the ants inside our home. We called Sentry to come out and resolve our ant issue, and they seemed to. They reminded us that we could have them come back within their 30 day guarantee/warranty period to spray once more since we had more ant colonies on our property than normal. When we called to schedule them to come back out within the guarantee/warranty period, they told us that another technician wouldn't be out in our area until the 30th day. We figured that should be fine and scheduled them for 7/22. Well, turns out the ant problem wasn't resolved and during the high heat this week, the ants made their way into our kitchen from several entry points. We called Sentry right away to ask that a technician come out as soon as possible since it was an emergency, and they just told us the same thing - that a technician wasn't going to be out in our area until 7/22 even though their website specifically says about their 30-day guarantee/warranty "What we CAN PROMISE you are free services if a problem arises. Just call us anytime and we'll be out by the *next business day*." How were we supposed to wait until 7/22 to resolve an indoor ant problem that we had originally called Sentry to prevent? We ended up calling a different pest control company to come out - and paying twice - to take care of the issue. I'd avoid this company if I were you, as they seem to be OK with causing problems for their clients and then expecting us to wait for them to conveniently be in the area before they could be bothered to fix them. read more

They got rid of those nasty bed bugs and did two additional inspections afterwards. (Of course because it costs more money) but still, nice security in knowing they're gone. Sean, who did the treatment, was great. Friendly and good at his job :) However, in my experience the people at the office seemed disorganized and impatient over the phone. For example, Sean told me the office would call me for a follow up visit. I waited over a week, never heard a thing, so then I called myself and set up a follow up appointment. (Not the end of the world but still very confused by that) Another example, when Sean does the follow up visit he says the same thing. So I wait for the call. I wasn't worried about having them come right away because I was 99% positive the bugs were gone now... instead of calling me to schedule the appointment Sean calls 2 weeks later to say he's on his way. Which means the office told Sean they made this imaginary appointment with me, which they never did. Annoying for me and for him because I wasn't available during that time. Last, but definitely not least, I make the second follow up appointment for 9am because I work at 11am. The office messes that up and schedule me for 11am. All in all, Sean was great. The chemicals they use to get rid of the bed bugs are great. However, the price is very high. The ladies at the Sentry office don't seem to know what they're doing, short with you, and disorganized. read more

Great company. They took care of our rodent and our termite fumigation. They were very accommodating and very reasonably priced. All in all I was very satisfied. read more

Great customer service! From the friendly lady who answered all my all questions before setting up my appointment, to the technician "Bill" who was very thorough and knowledgeable. Pricing very reasonable as well. read more

Great follow up to my inquiry and was able to schedule inspection next day. It really was free and the guy who did the inspection was very nice. Highly recommend this company read more
