Here
Are the Steps to Termite Colony Elimination using
Sentricon's®
system:
|
| 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 RecruitTM
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.
