WEST MILFORD Suppose you married the owner of a ski resort, but theres a problem; you have a serious fear of heights and an aversion to snow. Wanting to be a good help-mate, you take over the office responsibilities, steering clear of the frosty outdoors.

Now imagine that its insect and critters that scare the daylights out of you and you marry a man who later becomes the owner of a pest control business. Thats the situation JoAnn TenHoeve found herself in and thats why shes the office manager for Sentry Termite and Pest Control in West Milford.

Obviously a termite swarm needs attention by a professional. If one sees large, black ants, which are probably carpenter ants, on a daily basis, or what looks like saw dust sifting anywhere, its a good indication that carpenter ants are nesting within a structure. JoAnn TenHoeve

Im definitely not immune to the eek factor. Im probably more freaked out than most and often have to explain that other than work the office I want no part of what the guys do, TenHoeve said and went on to speak for the couple.

Married for 47 years, Jan and JoAnn TenHoeve are the parents of three sons and have six grandchildren. After Jan was discharged from the Navy, the couple moved from Florida (where palmetto bugs rule) to West Milford. They built a home and raised their family in the township.
