Termites may be tiny but the damages they cause to homes and businesses can be astronomical. The damages they cause are more expensive to repair than floods, hurricanes, and fires. Every year, termites are responsible for more than $5 billion in damages to properties in the United States alone. Termites gnaw their way through wood with extremely sharp, saw-toothed mouthparts, compromising the structure of your support beams and walls, damaging furniture and cabinetry. If you could put a plan in place to protect your home from damages caused by these destructive pests – wouldn't you want to? The good news is you can.

If you are afraid that you may have termites in your home the first thing you want to do is get a certified termite inspection. EnviroPest technicians will be able to tell you whether or not you have an infestation. They'll visit your property and evaluate it. Signs of possible termite infestation include winged termites flying in or near your home, sagging doors or wood that sounds hollow when tapped.

EnviroPest offers termite control using the Sentricon® System with Always Active™ technology. This baiting system is designed to eliminate existing subterranean termite colonies and provide ongoing protection against future infestations.

Sentricon® stations are installed in the soil around the perimeter of your home with termite bait already in place. The stations do not attract termites. Instead, foraging termites encounter them as they search for food, feed on the bait, and share it with other members of the colony. The active ingredient, noviflumuron, prevents termites from successfully molting, eventually eliminating the colony, including the queen.

Once the colony is eliminated, the Sentricon® stations remain in place and are regularly serviced to provide continuous protection against future subterranean termite colonies. If you suspect termites in your home, contact EnviroPest to schedule an inspection and learn more about Sentricon® termite protection.
