Sentricon Colony
Elimination System

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 to 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 termite bait. In doing so, the 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 that stops the molting process so termites can't grow. In time, the termites in the colony will be affected by the bait and die.

Specialized Trucks
Our Sentricon trucks are used only for installing the Sentricon system. Because contamination of the termite bait can occur, we significantly reduce the chance of contamination from other chemicals by using trucks solely for Sentricon.

Dedicated Service Technician
Again, contamination of the bait stations can occur if a service technician has been in contact with other termiticides. Because these service technicians work with only Sentricon, this will not occur.

More Experience
In 1994, Dow Agro Sciences began to roll out the new baiting system by working with 90 handpicked pest control companies across the United States. We were one of the original 90 companies. Now, going into our 14th year, we have treated more than 2,000 structures with excellent results.

Quality Assurance Reports
As part of the Sentricon Colony Elimination System, Dow AgroSciences L.L.C. reviews our work and data and then produces "Quality Assurance Reports." Our QAR's have shown that we have one of the highest hit ratios in the Midwest and that we have followed all of the Dow AgroSciences protocols.
