Sentricon®

How does the Sentricon® Termite System work?

After a Peninsular Pest Contol technician, who is a Sentricon® certified specialist, inspects your property, the Sentricon® Termite System stations are set up around your home. Thanks to Always Active ™ technology, Recruit® HD bait is available immediately. In-ground stations have a visible service cover which can only be opened with a special key.

About the Sentricon® Termite System

By preferring the bait almost 10 times more than wood, worker termites quickly discover and share their find within the colony. When ingested, the active ingredient in the Sentricon® Termite System prevents termites from molting maturity. Unable to molt, termites die. And when the colony dies, the queen is not far behind. Like a captain who sinks with the ship, despite the determination to survive, there is simply no hope.Sentricon® Termite SystemBy preferring the bait almost 10 times more than wood, worker termites quickly discover and share their find within the colony.

Imagine worry-free protection 24/7 now and in the future. All you need are your original bait stations and ongoing service from a certified Sentricon® specialist. For what it’s worth, termites prefer you to exclude yourself from this offer!

Swarming

Termites often swarm in warmer weather and after a rain shower to start new colonies. The swarming event can be brief, so even if you do not see flying termites, you are likely to see the discarded wings around window sills, doors, heating vents, bathtubs and sinks after a swarm takes place. Termite swarmers use their wings to move away from their original colony. Their wings break off and they pair up and find locations with a wood source where the male and female can begin a new colony. Whether you see the swarm or think there might have been one, call Sentricon® Termite System professional immediately.

Mud Tubes

Foraging worker termites, the ones that eat wood to feed the rest of the colony, must stay in moist conditions and away from natural enemies like ants. To get across barriers between the soil and the wood above, termites construct small, meandering mud tubes from moist soil and excrement. The tubes are about the diameter of a pencil, though they can become wider. Tubes can be seen on foundation walls or inside walls, on plumbing pipes and spanning crawl spaces between the ground and the subfloor. These termite highways are a sure sign termites are or have been in the home. Another reason to install the Sentricon® Termite System
