What is Sentricon Termite Colony Elimination System?

As a homeowner, you have many options for treating subterranean termites. Unfortunately, they don't all protect your home. In fact, there is a wide range of effectiveness among termite baits.

With its patented active ingredient, proven colony elimination record and successful installation on more than 2 million properties, the Sentricon Termite Colony Elimination System is by far the leader in termite baiting technology.

Why do homeowners prefer the Sentricon Termite Colony Elimination System?

As a homeowner, you have many options for treating subterranean termites. Unfortunately, they don't all protect your home. In fact, there is a wide range of effectiveness among termite baits.

  • Proven termite colony elimination, as shown by 30 independent university studies, 45 published scientific articles and long-term real-life success.
  • Sentricon is only provided by companies specially qualified, trained and authorized by Dow AgroSciences, to promote quality service and continue system integrity.
  • Proven protection of more than 2 million structures, including national treasures such as the White House,  Statue of Liberty, the Alamo and Independence Hall.
  • Protection that's easy on the environment, only using a few grams of active ingredient to eliminate termite colonies, when and where termites are present.
  • Less disruptive than liquid treatments to your home and lifestyle - no drilling, trenching or scheduling hassles.
  • Providing you with long-term protection and peace of mind.
  • The Sentricon Termite Elimination System earned the Presidential Green Chemistry Challenge award.

How is the Sentricon Termite Colony Elimination System Installed?

A professional technician will assess your property, install Sentricon stations around the home and then regularly monitor these Sentricon stations for the presence of termites. Once the attacking termite colony is eliminated service doesn't stop. We provide continued service and ongoing monitoring. The system acts like a termite alarm to protect the home from future termite attacks.
