Here
Are the Steps to Termite Colony Elimination.
|
|
|
1.
|
First, your home will be inspected for signs of termites. Then,
Sentricon* stations will be placed in the soil around your home.
|
|
 |
|
|
|
2.
|
The stations will be checked regularly for termite activity.
|
|
 |
|
|
|
3.
|
When termites are found in a station, they will be transferred
to a Baitube™ device containing Recruit™ II termite
bait. The Baitube will then be placed in that station.
|
|
 |
|
|
|
4.
|
The captured termites will feed on Recuit II termite bait,
tunnel out and send other colony nestmates back to feed on the
bait. This is called trophallaxis – the exchange of chemical
messages, as well as nutrients, between colony members. It allows
termites to spread hexaflumuron – the active ingredient in
Recruit II – throughout the colony. As nestmates feed on the
bait, the colony starts to decline and is eliminated.
|
|
 |
|
|
|
5.
|
After a colony has been eliminated, the bait will be replaced
with new monitoring devices. Your Authorized Operator will
continue to inspect these regularly to discover any new colonies
that might invade your property.

It really works! Our specialist will demonstrate the effectiveness
of the Sentricon System and its components.
