You see a wasp. When should you be concerned?
If you notice a nest attached to your home, deck, shed, play area, or other high-traffic space, it's best to leave it alone and call a professional. Attempting to remove a nest yourself can quickly turn a few wasps into hundreds of angry defenders.

At Sentry Pest Control, we believe in protecting both your family and the environment. We identify the species, evaluate the risk, and recommend the safest, most effective solution—because every situation is different.

🛡️ See a nest? Don't swat. Stay back and let the experts handle it safely.

We are fortunate to live in the New Jersey Highland region, which features pristine glacial lakes, extensive wetlands, and critical forested watersheds that provide clean drinking water to millions. As a pest control provider, we take our responsibility to preserve nature seriously, which is why we use bait options when treating termites. Check out our system and see why this is the best method to treat termites.

🐾 Pest or Pet? 🤔 The Backyard Quiz That Could Save You Thousands 💰

Here's the catch...

❤️ If it's outside enjoying nature, it's probably a wonderful part of our local wildlife.

🚫 But when it decides your home is its new address... it's officially a pest.

The difference?
One brings joy. The other brings expensive repairs, health risks, contaminated insulation, chewed wires, and sleepless nights.

At Sentry Pest Control, we don't just remove pests; we protect your family's biggest investment before a small problem becomes a major one. Listen to our co-founder Jan speak about rats and mice.

🎯 Challenge: Drop a photo of the last "visitor" in your yard or around your home in the comments.

We'll tell you...
🐾 Pet or Pest?

(And if it's a pest, we'll tell you exactly what to do next.)

Because the best time to stop an infestation is before it moves in.

📞 Protect your home. Protect your family. Trust your local experts at Sentry Pest Control. If it bugs you, call Sentry at 973-697-7979

🎥 Jan is back with another important termite tip.

Last week, Jan explained how small cracks, bubbling paint, and subtle wall imperfections can be early warning signs of termite activity.

This week, he takes us one step further.

What you see on the surface is often only a tiny fraction of the damage.

Termites work from the inside out. They consume the structural wood hidden behind drywall, floors, and trim while leaving the outer surface looking almost untouched. By the time visible damage appears, they may have already been feeding for months or even years.

That's why homeowners are often shocked during an inspection.

A small cosmetic issue can reveal extensive hidden damage that isn't visible until the wall is opened.

🏡 The lesson? Don't wait for obvious damage.

If something in your home doesn't look quite right, even if it seems minor, it deserves a closer look. Early detection can mean the difference between a simple treatment and expensive structural repairs.

📞 If you have questions about termites or suspect something isn't right, schedule a professional inspection before hidden damage becomes a costly surprise. If it bugs you, call us at 973-697-7979

🎥 Let’s hear from Jan – Co-Founder of Sentry Pest Control and Termite Control Expert
When it comes to termites, the biggest warning signs are often the ones homeowners overlook.
In this video, Jan explains why what appears to be a small crack, slight paint blister, or subtle wall imperfection can actually be the first visible sign of a much bigger problem hidden behind your walls.
Termites don't make noise. They don't announce their presence. They work 24/7, silently feeding on the structural wood of your home, often for months or even years before the damage becomes obvious.
What starts as a tiny cosmetic blemish can eventually reveal extensive hidden damage that requires costly repairs.
🏡 Don't ignore the little things.
A professional inspection today could save you thousands of dollars tomorrow.
If you've noticed:
✔️ Bubbling or blistering paint
✔️ Hairline cracks near door frames or windows
✔️ Soft or hollow-sounding wood
✔️ Unexplained wall imperfections
…it may be time to have your home inspected.
Knowledge is your first line of defense. Thank you, Jan, for sharing your expertise and helping homeowners recognize the early warning signs before termites turn a small issue into a major repair.

☀️ Summer Pest Season is Here in New Jersey! 🐜🐝

Warmer weather means more time outdoors, but it also means increased pest activity around your home. Knowing what to watch for can help protect your family and your property.

🕷️ Ticks
Ticks are active from early summer through the first frost and can transmit Lyme disease. Be sure to check yourself, your children, and your pets after spending time outdoors.

🐝 Wasps, Hornets & Yellow Jackets
These aggressive stinging insects become especially active during the summer months. They often build nests in eaves, trees, shrubs, and even underground, creating a serious hazard for families, guests, and pets.

🐜 Carpenter Ants
Don't let their size fool you! Carpenter ants don't eat wood—they tunnel through it to build their nests. Their presence may indicate moisture issues and can lead to costly structural damage if left untreated.

⚠️ The best defense is early detection. If you've noticed increased pest activity around your home, don't wait until the problem gets worse.

📞 If it bugs you... Call Sentry!

🐜 Carpenter Ants Don't Follow the Rules. Neither Should Their Treatment.
Most pest problems are straightforward. Find the pests. Treat the pests. Problem solved.
Carpenter ants are different. In fact, carpenter ants often establish multiple satellite nests, hidden inside walls, ceilings, decks, and other moisture-damaged wood.
That's why treating only the visible ants is often like putting a bandage on a broken pipe.
🔍 Successful carpenter ant control requires an unconventional approach:
✅ Finding hidden nests, not just visible ants
✅ Identifying moisture sources that attract colonies
✅ Targeting satellite colonies and the parent nest
✅ Creating a treatment plan that goes beyond a simple spray
The real challenge isn't killing the ants you see, it's finding the thousands you don't.
🏠 If carpenter ants have made an appearance, don't assume the problem is where the ants are. The real story is usually hidden behind the walls.
Sentry Pest Control — Because effective carpenter ant treatment requires thinking beyond the obvious. If it bugs you, call us at 973-967-7979
