    Status:
    Resolved
    On 12/1/23 I had my house tented for termites by Corkys Pest Control. I gave them a key per instructions and before the tent went on & the house gassed the fumigator hid my house key by the front door, knowing that would be robbers knew their method of operation (MO). My house was broken into and aprox $25,000 of items were stolen. My house was left unsecured by the fumigators. There was no reason to hide the key by the front door while the tent was on. I spoke with a neighbor who recently had their house tented & they did not give them a key at all, they gave access to the fumigators as needed. Once the break in was discovered the fumigator entered the still tented house to see if anything was taken, there was. As we were discussing what to do, I said I did not want to go through this again so close it back up and re-gas it. He went back into the house a 2nd time to take ***** pictures of the damage and sent them to via text. He went back in a 3rd time to check the level of gas still in the house, when he came back out he said there was still a lot of gas in the house. He then decided to close it up & come back later tonight to vent the house.1) My home was not secured; there was no reason to hide a key by the front door. 2) How did the fumigator enter the home 3 times without a mask if there was still a lot of gas in the house, is he Superman? I dont believe that the house was adequately gassed.I request a full refund and Corkys to honor the 4 year guarantee.

    I am SO disappointed in their service! Thank goodness I have a Ring camera. Two different times the technician came, rang my doorbell and realized no one was home, sprayed for less than 5 minutes and left. Both times, the technician wrote that they treated my porch, ***** and windows, the landscape surrounding my home, and the fence line. In order to do this, it would require a minimum of 20 minutes. Without my Ring, I would have never known that they did not spray. Another time *****'s sent their technician to spray and it was raining, This makes no sense as it would wash the spray away. It is impossible to reach a local office. I emailed photos of the technician arriving and leaving without doing his job. I never heard anything.I would NOT recommend using *****'s.

    Customer ***** started service on 9/01/23. Tech did a full exterior service, and he was there from 1:18pm to 1:53 pm. Tech was there for 35 min.On 10/12/23 tech did a full exterior service. Tech was there from 3:11 pm to 3:32 pm. Tech was there for 21 minutes.On 10/20/23 another tech went out because customer said on her camera last tech wasnt thorough and left fast. Tech was there from 2:48 pm 3:14 pm. Tech was there for 26 minutes.On 12/6/23 tech did full exterior service. Tech was there from 4:34 pm 4:53 pm. Tech was there for 20 minutes.On 2/5/24 tech did full exterior service. Tech was there from 10:39 am 11:19 am. Tech was there for 40 minutes.2/13/24 tech went back to re treat due to rain on the last service. Tech was there from 7:44 am 8:17 am. Tech was there for 33 minutes.On 3/25/24 tech did full exterior service. Tech was there from 4:38 pm 4:58 pm. Tech was there for 20 minutes.So, as you can see this customer had service in a timely manner and tech was there doing a thorough job for at least 20 minutes if not longer per service. Tech went out when it was raining on a different day to re-treat since he was not able to treat on the day it was raining. Branch Manager ********************* checked video footage and the only thing he could see was the doorbell so you cant see the entire service. The only thing that he could see was that tech started at 16:36 and ended at 16:56 so 20-minute service.
