As a homeowner, you probably worry about the possibility of a fire or severe weather destroying your home, yet studies indicate damage from subterranean termites is far more likely, especially in South Carolina. This year alone, more than 5 million homes in the United States will be damaged by subterranean termite infestations that bring with them termite droppings and holes. Homeowners will face an estimated $5 billion to $10 billion in property damage. Most insurance companies do not cover termite damage! In South Carolina, structural damage from subterranean termites, including formosan subterranean termites is a serious problem. But you do have options to protect your home from subterranean termites.

Stop termite holes, termite droppings, and other damage with Sentricon!

The Sentricon Termite Colony Elimination System. An innovative solution that actually eliminates entire termite colonies from the site and protects the structure from subterranean termites for years to come. The Sentricon® System is a revolutionary termite baiting technology that provides ongoing structural protection from termites through in-ground baiting stations placed around the perimeter of a home.

“How will Sentricon protect my home from termites?”

“It eliminates the termite colony.” Sentricon not only provides continuous protection from termites — even against those that have not yet moved onto your property — it eliminates the threat. The proof is in 30 independent university studies and 60 published scientific articles. Sentricon even protects the White House, the Statue of Liberty, other national treasures and millions of homes just like yours.

“Why is it called Always Active?”

“Sentricon stations around your home are always baited with Recruit® HD termite bait.” The bait remains in all the Sentricon stations all the time, offering constant property protection for peace of mind. Termites can begin feeding on it as soon as they find a Sentricon station, then share the bait with other termites to begin the colony elimination process.

“Will the bait last long enough to do the job?”

“Recruit HD termite bait is durable to last a long time.” It continues to protect no matter what the soil condition, weather or season. In termite palatability tests and field trials, termites preferred Recruit HD termite bait over wood, and liked it even better when it got old, cracked and moldy. Bait is replaced as it gets consumed.

“What about its effect on the environment?”

“The Sentricon® System won the Presidential Green Chemistry Challenge Award.” This national environmental award recognizes technical innovation that’s environmentally responsible1 . Sentricon minimizes environmental exposure by design, and it can be removed if desired. It was the first product registered under the Reduced Risk Pesticide Initiative of the U.S. Environmental Protection Agency.Pest Control’s Sentricon service involves four simple steps. First, an inspection. Island Pest Control will perform a free, no obligations termite inspection of your home, not just looking for active termites but also to point out areas that invites termites.

“Will there be a big mess around
here at installation?”

“No, it’s easy on you and your home.” Sentricon is much less disruptive to your family, buildings and landscaping than other termite treatments. With Sentricon, there is no drilling in floors or foundations, no trenching around your home, no chemical tank trucks, and no scheduling hassles. You don’t even need to be present for installation and service. Basically, no mess at all.

“When will you be back to inspect my property?”

“We will inspect and service the Sentricon stations on your property annually.” To ensure the bait will be present in all stations at all times, we will be inspecting and servicing the Sentricon stations on your property annually.
