Leo was the guy that showed up for our Pest control, it was out first time using Gunter and I was blown away with how friendly and full of information he was. He said he’d been with Gunter for about 5 years. I followed him around because and he mentioned places where certain bugs hide. Things we can do to not get but by brown recluse spiders. He hit every area of the house. He did a great job, super friendly, and easy going. They seem to be a little more expensive but after the last jack wagons we had I’m guessing it will be worth it.

A few months ago, we were having a problem inside the house with large carpenter ants. In checking out Gunter’s website, I found out that the annual service included not only quarterly visits for prevention, but that if a problem persisted, the Gunter representative would come back free of charge until the problem was solved. We did need a second treatment for our ant problem, and the technician was efficient, very thorough and friendly - and solved the problem. Also, on our first quarterly visit, they were really helpful with some stink bugs that cropped up everywhere outside! Highly recommend

We have used Gunter Pest and Lawn for 15 plus years. We recently downsized to an older home. We were happy to hear that our favorite technician, Leo, would be able to continue his service at our new address. He does an awesome job. He is very thorough, knowledgable, and just a great guy. He discovered a huge wasp nest under our eave, and even came back a 2nd time to take care of the stragglers. We are extremely satisfied with our service.

Including the original review below, but updating to say this has really been a great company that we rely on. We had a water line break and a re-infiltration of mice, and they got rid of them quickly. Also, their tech Patrick is the friendliest tech ever, I kinda want to be friends with him. Bottom line up front: They're our go-to, save the hardware store trips and DIY tactics that don't work and just hire them.

We live in an older house, and not only did some mice make their way into our basement over the colder months, it was like Party Cove for them down there. We

Wow! Could not be more impressed with Gunter Pest & Lawn. David Austin (technician) performed a thorough termite inspection both inside and outside our home, answering my many questions. He was not only well-versed in regards to the inspection, but also offered advice for how best to fix old termite damage to the home—which expert advice will probably save us hundreds of dollars in repair costs. Could not be more pleased with his service and would highly recommend him to anyone needing a professional.

Truly a great company. The demeanor of their sales staff is not threatening and they really listen to what you want. Down to earth good company and I highly recommend them. My only criticism is to make sure if you have dogs to let them know to close the fence. I have two Dobermans and they got out… Not good but all was fine because I recovered them. But overall seriously they are truly a wonderful company and I signed a contract with them.

Absolutely loved this company. Everyone was great. John was our technician pretty much all the time and he was great. Started using them in 2013 when we moved to MO, then used them again when we bought our own house. If we move back to MO will definitely use them again.

I am beside myself with how upset I am having to deal with this company. I had them come out to take care of an ant problem I was having. The guy was half an hour late, had to call the office who didn't care that he was late and basically said he'll get there when he gets there. He was rude when he did finally show up, he would leave my front door wide open when he would come in and out. And the cherry on top was it did nothing to clear up the ants. So a week later I called back. The lady I talked to didn't seem shocked at all that there was still a problem and sent another tech

The ONLY pest service worth your money in all of KC!!!

I've used Gunter for 10 years in my home and with three companies I managed. I would never consider any other pest service.

I find the service workers are kind, friendly and always dressed professionally. Have never minded having them in my home.

DO NOT USE! Gunter sprayed our apartment for roaches. We were still seeing new ones 2 1/2 weeks later. I called to let them know and they said they would come back out to take care of the problem. There was no mention of a change. The technician came back and placed traps around the problem area which should have been done the first time. While the technician was there, he told us there was no charge for this visit. We received a bill in the mail a few weeks later. So, I called to inquire about the bill, Deb said it was correct. I mentioned how the technician even told us there was no charge

Household pests can be a problem in older houses, so it is advisable to know a good pest control service. Gunter Pest Management do an excellent job of spraying for pests, but my pleasure largely derives from how kind they are about working with my schedule and with my pets and children. The technician was very clear and courteous about my concerns for the health and safety of my babies and animals.
If you find something creeping and crawling in your home, I recommend a call to Gunter Pest Management.

I have done business with Gunter on several occasions. Each and every time they have performed with knowledge and integrity. Jay helped me when I was selling a house and the inspector for the buyer said a little growth from a tree root that I clipped off was a potential area for termites. YES! That was the only thing with the entire house he could find to write up on his inspection. I called Jay because that was going to hold up the closing. He was very surprised an inspector would write some thing like that up when it was in the backyard but we had to treat it. He billed me a small amount
