STOCKTON, Calif. — Clark Pest Control of Stockton, Calif., announced that it is acquiring Sentinel Pest Management, based in Mission Viejo, Calif. The acquisition will increase the size of Clark's Orange County pest control division.
Sentinel opened its doors in 2013, when husband-and-wife team Tom and Patti Ball envisioned a family-run company that could provide effective pest control and excellent service to customers across southern California’s Orange County. Tom has over 25 years’ field experience as a technician, and before Sentinel, he helped build pest departments at three other companies, earning a reputation for quality work and exceptional customer service. Patti, with nearly two decades’ experience in the pest management industry, enhanced Sentinel’s focus on customer service with her deep knowledge of the business, compassion, and professionalism.
Sentinel has four employees, and its state-licensed technicians have been thoroughly vetted and trained by the Balls.
Clark Pest Control has 23 service centers spread across most of California and northern Nevada, and it has over 1,000 dedicated employees, with many of them associated with the Clark organization long term.
