How Does it Work

How to eliminate a termite colony.

Makes sense.

The beauty of the Sentricon System is that the Recruit termite bait works just slowly enough to be spread throughout the colony before termites catch on.

…inspects the property for signs of termites;

…places Sentricon stations flush with the ground in the soil around the home;

…monitors the Sentricon stations for termite activity;

…delivers a Baitube™ device containing Recruit™ termite bait to these termites, which they share until the colony is eliminated;

…and continues monitoring to discover newly invading colonies. A new colony may invade and show up in Sentricon stations long after the initial colony has been eliminated.

That’s what’s so great about the Sentricon System. It’s equally successful at stopping a colony that is attacking a home and at stopping a colony that may attack a home. Treatment and prevention. In fact, homeowners with no known termite problems have the Sentricon System installed solely to make sure it stays that way. Your home may have a security system to alert you to a human break-in. Why not one to alert you to a termite break-in?
