How does Sentricon Work?

The Sentricon^® Termite Colony Elimination System, through its proven process of monitoring, baiting and eliminating termite colonies, begins to protect a home as soon as it is installed.

Here Are the Steps to Termite Colony Elimination.
1. First, the home will be inspected for signs of termites. Then, Sentricon stations containing monitoring devices will be placed in the soil around the home.
2. The stations will be checked regularly for termite activity. Termites in the soil, foraging continuously for food, find and begin feeding on the monitoring devices in the Sentricon station.
3. When termites are found in a station, the Authorized Operator replaces the monitoring device with a Baitube? device containing Recruit? termite bait.
4. Termites will feed on Recruit termite bait, and send signals to nestmates to feed on the bait. Trophallaxis ? the exchange of messages and nutrients between colony members ? allows termites to spread the active ingredient in Recruit throughout the colony. As nestmates feed on the bait and share it between members, the colony starts to shrink and is soon eliminated.
5. After a colony has been eliminated, the bait will be replaced with new monitoring devices. The Authorized Operator will continue to inspect these regularly to intercept any future colonies that might invade the property.

The Sentricon System is unique in its ability to serve as both a preventative and a curative method. Many homeowners with no known termite problem have the Sentricon System installed to provide security even before termites are found. No more colony. No more problem.?
