A revolutionary way to protect your home.
Termites have been going after your home for years. Now the Sentricon™ System lets you go after their home - the colony. Colony elimination is a revolutionary way to deal with termites. And Sentricon™ has been proven to achieve it.
The Sentricon™ System is the best approach for protecting structures from subterranean termites because it eliminates the colony, while being non-disruptive and non-intrusive to your home and landscaping. The Sentricon™ System is proven, long-term protection against termite damage.
How the Sentricon™ System Works.
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 a Sentricon™ station, they leave special scent trails to summon their nest mates to the food source.
Once Innovative Pest Control discovers termites feeding in the station, the monitoring devices is replaced with a Baitube* device containing Recruit* termite bait. In doing so, our 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 called Noviflumuron that stops the molting process so termites can't grow. In time, all termites in the colony will be affected by the bait and die.
An Innovative Pest Control Professional follows these steps:
- Your home will be inspected for signs of termites.
- Then, Sentricon™ stations will be placed in the soil around your home.
- Any active termites will be treated with above-ground Recruit stations or conventional chemical treatment.
- These 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 that contains 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 completely eliminated, the bait will be replaced with new monitoring devices. Innovative Pest Control will continue to inspect these to discover a new colony that might invade your property.
Protecting National Treasures
In addition to proection more than one million structures, the Sentricon System has played a major role in protecting many of our nation's most treausured landmarks. Historic properties that include the White House, the Statue of Liberty, Independence Hall, the Alamo and Mt. Vernon are protected by the Sentricon™ System and the local authorized Operators who service them.
Continuous Innovation
As revolutionary as the introduction of the Sentricon System was 10 years ago, the technology behind the system components has continued to improve and evolve over time. The introduction of ESP™ technology allowed Authorized Operators to expedite the monitoring process and use advanced electronic technology to indentify termite activity. Ongoing improvements to the active ingredient and the bait matrix have resulted in faster colony elimination, improved bait preference and consumption by termites, and greater monitoring flexibility for Authorized Operators. And, recent enhancements to the design of the Sentricon stations have shortened installatin times, helping to make Authorized Operators more productive and more profitable.
Its proven record for eliminating termite colonies, providing a more environmentally responsible approach to termite protection and minimizing inconveniences or disruptions to property owners have made the Sentricon Ststem the most revolutionary produce to hit the termite control market in more than 50 years. As the sentricon System and its Authorized Operators begin the second decade of the product's history, the evolution continues, as do the benefits that this termite treatment revoution are sure to bring.
For a conventional solution, choose Termidor.
The key ingredient in your immediate termite control plan is Termidor® termiticide/insecticide, a remarkable termite control product from a new class of chemicals.
In numerous trials across the United States and around the world, Termidor has consistently proven itself to be 100% effective in eradicating termites in three months or less, a level of efficacy that no other termiticide or termite control system of any type has ever achieved. And, Termidor is proving to be equally effective in keeping termites from coming back. Ongoing field trials by the U.S. Department of Agriculture show no signs of re-infestation at study sites more than eight years after treatment with Termidor.
Termidor kills termites several ways.
Many termiticides are repellents, meaning they work by simply keeping termites away from treated areas. But Termidor is a non-repellent and effectively kills termites. And unlike any other termiticide, it's able to kill them in more than one way.
Because termites can't smell, see, or feel Termidor, they freely move through treated areas, ingesting soil treated with Termidor and transferring it on their bodies. Both ingestion and contact of Termidor are lethal to termites, and this dual approach immediately sets Termidor apart from other termiticides. But Termidor goes a step further by enhancing the results with its unique "Transfer Effect™".
How the Transfer Effect works.
Once a termite has ingested or come in contact with Termidor-treated material, it becomes a "carrier". Every termite it contacts will be infected, and will in turn infect every termite it contacts. Termidor works slowly, letting termites pass it to many others before dying themselves. Although the "Termidor Effect" is intentionally slow, the overall colony management is fast.
