This was a terrible, costly and frustrating experience that cost us thousands of dollars.
Our home was burglarized and ransacked while it was being tented, most likely on the night of 12/4. We were out of town.
That evening, a Corkey's representative went to ventilate the house, saw the tent had already been slashed, and still left with the house unsecured. The thieves simply slit the screen and entered through the windows you left open. It is most likely that the actual burglary happened after that visit. She phoned us, but had no intention of calling the police until my husband insisted upon it, as we were several hundred miles away.
We have no idea when the tent was slashed and have no way of knowing that the fumigation worked.
Corky's agreed that the service had been compromised but still charged us for the service.
Only after the fact did we learn that they had left the windows cracked open under the tent. We would have NEVER agreed to the service knowing that our home would not be secured. And now we have no way of knowing that all this loss will also mean that the termites have been eliminated. There is nothing in our contract that says our home would be vulnerable; in fact, it says that the windows will be open only after the tent is removed. Our representative, Hector, said our house would be secured at all time. In fact, the contract says that unlocked doors will be nailed shut.
We incurred $5,000-$7,000 worth of loss. Corky refused to refund or or pay for the $2,500 cost of our insurance deductible and immediately credit our account for the $1,690 charge for the service. We lost heirlooms that could never be replaced.
They were unresposive to phone calls, lied to the credit card company about meeting with the police officers that night, and tried to initimidate me through having their attorney call me.
At one point, I told the attorney, Barbara Casino, that we would have never used Corky's if we knew our house would be left unsecured. She replied, "We would have never tented your house if we knew it would be burglarized."
PLEASE do not use them; they were just awful!
