The honest call

Spray less, solve more.

Pest control that works is mostly detective work. Here is how the job actually goes when it goes right, and why spray-first is the amateur move.

Inspect first

Find the why, then treat.

What: Where they enter, what feeds them, where they nest
Why: Treatment aimed at the cause instead of the hallway

Spray-and-pray makes the visit look productive and the problem permanent. If nobody crawls, peeks and asks questions first, that’s your answer about the company.

Treat smart

Slow is on purpose.

Ants: Baits ride home to the colony, days, by design
Warning: Spraying an ant trail can split the colony into two problems

The DIY spray can is why we meet most customers. Targeted products, placed where pests live and kids don’t reach, beat fog every time.

Seal it

The unglamorous winner.

What: Gaps, vents, door sweeps, a pencil-width hole admits a mouse
Why: Exclusion outlasts every product on the truck

Companies that only sell spray visits skip this part, sealed entry points don’t generate repeat calls. It’s the part worth paying for.

Kids & pets

The question you should ask.

Fair asks: Which products, where placed, how long to stay off surfaces
Standard: Registered products, targeted placement, clear re-entry times

A pro answers this before you ask and adjusts the plan for crawling babies and curious dogs. Vague answers about “safe stuff” deserve follow-up questions.

Seeing one mouse or a few ants doesn’t mean panic, it means information. Tell us what, where and when, and the plan starts before the visit does.

Straight pricing

One number. In writing. It doesn’t move.

No hourly meter, no surprise line items, no “while we’re at it”. You approve one clear quote before anything is applied, so you know the cost up front.

Your clear quote

Inspection, treatment and exclusion work, one line, one price. Approved by you before anything starts.

The number lands in writing with a between-visits guarantee. If pests come back, so do we, at no charge.

The breakdown

What moves the number.

No mystery math. Four things decide what pest work costs, and we walk every one with you before the quote lands.

Pest & severityWhat we're dealing with and how established it is, one nest or a settled colony, shapes the treatment more than anything.

Access & structureCrawl spaces, wall voids and roof lines, how hard the entry points are to reach and treat.

Exclusion & repairSealing the gaps pests come through is the lasting fix, and most of the honest price.

Visits & seasonA single treatment or a quarterly plan, and the time of year the pressure peaks.

Whatever the mix, you get one clear quote, in writing, before any work starts.

What a serious pest-control quote includes, ours or anyone’s:

The target pest, named after an inspection
What was found: entries, nests, conditions, in writing
Products used, and where they’re placed
Sealing work: included or quoted separately
Re-service terms if they come back between visits
Applicator license, said plainly

A quote without an inspection behind it is a guess with a price tag. The findings line is what separates the two.

Recent jobs

Real work, in plain numbers.

Three jobs from the past few months, what they were, where, and how long they actually took.

Ant colony, source-treated

Sellwood·2 hours

Odorous house ant trail traced back to a foundation crack under the kitchen sink. Non-repellent gel bait placed at the source so foragers carry it back to the nest, then an exterior perimeter band to stop re-entry.

Whole-home rodent exclusion

St. Johns·3 days

Old craftsman with rats getting into the crawlspace. Every gap sealed with quarter-inch hardware cloth and steel wool set in sealant, snap traps run until three clean nights, and the entry points photographed for the report.

Wasp nest removal

Montavilla·1 hour

Bald-faced hornet nest under a second-floor eave. Knocked down after dusk once the colony had settled, the void dusted and the cavity sealed so nothing rebuilds in the same spot.

Where we work

Proudly serving the Portland metro

A lot of our work comes from a neighbor who watched us work the house next door. If you're in the metro, we're just around the corner.

The first fall cold snap sends every mouse in the neighborhood house-hunting, and wet springs wake the ant colonies — that two-beat local calendar is what a good prevention plan is actually built around.

How it goes

From first call to done.

No mystery in the middle. This is the path the job actually takes, start to finish.

The first callday 1

You reach a real person at Sentry, not a call center. We ask what you're seeing, where, and for how long, then book a licensed inspector for a time that actually works for you.

The full inspectionwithin 2-3 days

A technician walks the whole property inside and out, finds entry points and conducive conditions, and IDs the pest by evidence, not guesswork. Nothing gets sprayed on this visit unless you ask.

Quote lands in writingwithin 24 hours after

You get a clear quote by email that spells out the treatment, the products used, how many visits it takes, and what the ongoing plan costs. No verbal numbers, no surprises added later.

Treatment dayday of the job

The same technician who inspected does the work: sealing rodent entry with steel, treating at the colony source, or heat-treating for bed bugs. We tell you exactly what to expect for re-entry and any pet or kid prep beforehand.

Walkthrough & guaranteebefore we leave, plus follow-up

We walk the finished work with you, clean up after ourselves, and hand you the service log plus a written guarantee. If the pest comes back inside the covered window, we come back at no charge.

Before you hire anyone

Five questions for every pest company.

Including us. This trade sells peace of mind, which makes it easy to sell fog instead of fixes. Five questions keep everyone honest.

01Do you inspect before you treat?

A treatment aimed by an inspection beats one aimed by habit. If the plan exists before anyone’s seen your house, it’s not a plan.

02What happens against the CAUSE, not just the pests?

Entries sealed, moisture named, food sources flagged. Killing this week’s ants without closing the door invites next week’s.

03Which products, and what about my kids and dog?

Product names, placement, re-entry times, a pro recites these happily. “It’s all safe” is not an answer, it’s a shrug.

04On a quarterly plan: what if they return between visits?

The honest plan includes free re-services in between. Without that line, “prevention” is just a subscription.

05Are you licensed to apply pesticides here?

It’s a legal requirement, not a compliment. The number should come faster than the discount offer.

Bring this list to the call. We’ll answer all five before you ask.

Good to know

Questions, answered

Getting started

Do you charge for estimates?+

No. Written estimates for every service and commercial plans are always free, we visit, inspect and talk through the pest issue, and email you a clear, itemized quote with no obligation.

How soon can you start?+

Most estimates go out within a day, and typical projects are scheduled within one to two weeks. For urgent infestations, before a move, a sale or an event, just tell us the date and we'll do our best to fit you in.

What does “free estimates” mean?+

Before any work begins, we give you one clear quote to approve, prep, materials and labor included. No hourly meter, no surprise add-ons at the end. You always decide before we start.

How do you price pest work?+

Inspection first, then one clear quote covering treatment and the exclusion work that makes it stick. Quarterly plans price flat per visit, in writing.

What should I do before the visit?+

Note where you have seen activity and when, and keep pets inside during exterior treatment dwell times we will name exactly. Everything else is our job.

What happens during the free inspection?+

We walk the exterior, probe the crawl entrance, read the evidence, droppings, trails, gnaw marks, and hand you a plan with photos, one clear quote per fix.

How fast can you come?+

Wasps by doors and rodent sightings jump the line, usually same-week. Quarterly members hold the front of every queue.

Can you come discreetly?+

Yes, unmarked vehicle on request and nothing on the invoice a neighbor could read from the curb.

Treatments & the causes-first method

Are the treatments safe for kids and pets?+

Yes, applied to label with re-entry times stated plainly, and our causes-first approach means less product than a calendar-spray company uses in the first place.

Do you use green or low-impact options?+

Where they work, gladly, exclusion, baits and botanicals carry most homes. We tell you honestly where a targeted conventional product is the responsible choice.

Why do pests come back after other companies?+

Because spraying without sealing is a subscription. The entry point is the product, the treatment is the assistant, we do both, in that order.

Why does my neighbor's problem become mine?+

Rodents and ants work territories, not addresses. Our exclusion focuses on your envelope, sealed is sealed no matter what the street is doing.

Do you handle wildlife too?+

Squirrels and raccoons get referred to licensed wildlife specialists we trust, we stay honest about where our license ends.

Seasons, guarantee & the Care Plan

Which season is my house's weak spot?+

Tap through the Season Studio above, spring ants to fall rodents, and the page takes each mood. The inspection turns it into one plan.

Do you guarantee the work?+

Yes, in writing, re-treats between quarterly visits are free. If they cross the line, we come back and move it.

Will you tell me if I do not need you?+

Happily. Some calls end with advice about a fir branch touching the roof and no invoice at all, honesty is the marketing.

Is the Care Plan worth it?+

For most homes, yes: an annual inspection, free re-treats between visits, priority scheduling, and 15% off future work typically pay for the membership the first time you use it, and keep the pests out year-round.
