The Sentricon® Termite Colony Elimination System

Termites have been going after your home for years. The Sentricon® Termite Colony Elimination System lets you go after their home - the colony. Colony elimination is one of the most effective ways to deal with termites and Sentricon can achieve it. The Sentricon System is the best approach for protecting structures from subterranean termites because it eliminates the colony, while being non-disruptive to property owners.

The Sentricon System is proven long-term protection against termite damage and is the only termite control product ever to earn the Presidential Green Chemistry Challenge Award, one of the federal government’s top environmental honors. 

The Sentricon System takes advantage of natural termite behavior. Worker termites constantly forage far and wide, looking for wood to feed the colony. When they find food, like the monitoring device in the Sentricon station, they leave special scent trails to summon their nestmates to the food source.

Once our trained technician discovers termites feeding in the station, the monitoring device is replaced with a Baitube device containing Recruit  termite bait. In doing so, the technician initiates the exclusive Self-Recruitment procedure that takes advantage of the natural behavior of termites to spread the bait throughout the colony. The bait contains a substance that stops the molting process so termites can't grow. In time, all the termites can't grow. In time, all the termites in the colony will be affected by the bait and die.

How The Sentricon System Works

Our professional technician follows these steps:

First, your home will be inspected for signs of termites.

Then, Sentricon stations will be placed in the soil around your home.

The stations will be checked regularly for termite activity.

 When termites are found in one or more stations, they will be transferred to a Baitube device containing Recruit™  termite bait, which is then placed in those stations.

The captured termites will feed on Recruit™, tunnel out and send other colony nest mates back to feed on the bait. As they do so, the colony starts to decline and will eventually be eliminated.

After a colony has been eliminated, the bait will be replaced with new monitoring devices. Our trained technician will continue to inspect these to discover a new colony that might invade your property.
