THE SENTRICON™ SYSTEM DESTROYS THE TERMITE COLONY

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 completely new way to deal with termites. And only Sentricon can achieve it.

The Sentricon System is the best approach for protecting structures from subterranean termites because it eliminates the colony, while being non-disruptive to property owners. 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 your authorized pest control professional discovers termites feeding in the station, the monitoring device is replaced with a Baitube device containing Recruit II termite bait. In doing so, the technician initiates the exclusive Self-Recruit IIment procedure that takes advantage of the natural behavior of termites to spread the bait throughout the colony. The bait contains a substance that stops the molting process so termites can't grow. In time, all the termites in the colony will be affected by the bait and die.

HOW TERMITES DO THEIR DIRTY WORK...

Subterranean termites, the most damaging kind, live in colonies in the soil. Each colony is built around a king and queen, whose sole job is reproduction. Most of the colony is made up of worker termites that cause the damage to your home.

Worker termites forage among food sources and share their finds with others in the colony. They work 24 hours a day, destroying your home from inside the wood. Chances are, you'll see no evidence of their work until something gives way.

To make matters worse, there may be more than one colony threatening your home at a time.

LITTLE CREATURES... BIG BUCKS.

Nationwide, subterranean termite damage approaches a billion dollars a year. The damage may not be as sudden or as violent as damage from fire or storms, but it's much more likely to occur - nearly one and a half million homes are damaged by termites annually. Among other problems, termite feeding causes sagging floors, loose trim and cracked plaster, and can eventually lead to major structural repairs.

You can stop the destruction -- or prevent it from ever occurring -- with the Sentricon® Colony Elimination System.

THINK OF SENTRICON AS A SECURITY SYSTEM.
You buy a burglar alarm to protect your home from human invaders. With Sentricon, you can have a security system installed to protect it from termite invasion, too.

You see, Sentricon is an ongoing process. Even after the termite colony has been destroyed, Sentricon and your pest control professional will stay on duty to find and eliminate any new colony that may invade your property.

AN OUNCE OF PREVENTION. . .
Best of all, there's no need to wait until damage is done. The Sentricon System can be used for early detection of a termite invasion, as well as elimination of an existing colony. Sentricon acts as both an early warning device and a treatment method.

Whether you want to eliminate a colony or prevent one from being established, Sentricon is a continuous process: monitoring for termites, baiting to eliminate, followed by monitoring again.

TAKING IT EASY ON YOUR HOUSE AND YARD.
Sentricon protects your home more gently than traditional control methods. When installing Sentricon, your technician won't need to drill through the floor or foundation, and is not likely to disturb shrubs or other landscaping. Monitoring and baiting can be done without even entering your home.

SENTRICON, exposure AND THE ENVIRONMENT.
Recruit II termite bait with its active ingredient, hexaflumuron, was the first product approved under the EPA's new Reduced Risk Pesticide Initiative. Recruit II passed the stringent new standards partly because it is designed to be ingested and removed from the Baitube device only by worker termites and then passed along to other members of the termite colony. This limits its presence in the environment outside of the station. Plus, hexaflumuron impacts termites by inhibiting their rather unique molting process. For additional peace of mind, all Sentricon stations have secured, child-resistant caps.
