Sentricon Termite Baiting System install in Jackson, NJ addresses homeowner concerns
Challenge
We treated the termite problem in Jackson, and installed a Sentricon system. The best preventative measure against termite damage is the Sentricon subterranean termite colony elimination system. This system takes termite biology and behavior and uses it against them. The stations use a highly palatable cellulose bait treated with an insect growth regulator. When ingested, the termites are unable to molt, and soon die. The beauty of the system is that the worker termites bring the bait back to share with the colony, so the entire termite colony soon dies out. As a termite control specialist, I’ve seen Sentricon’s amazingly effective system first-hand, and over the years, plenty of independent research studies have proven Sentricon’s effectiveness.
A common question came up: Do Sentricon baiting stations cause any problems for someone mowing the lawn? The answer is positively no! These stations are purposefully low profile. They are carefully installed around your home’s foundation, flush to the ground. You can’t see them unless standing straight over them, and they are virtually indestructible. They can’t be damaged by a lawnmower’s blades or by stepping on them.
Solution
We make sure that the stations are installed deep enough in the soil so they can’t be damaged during landscaping, especially when the soil is aerated. It is perfectly safe for kids and pets to play near the bait stations and there is no problem planting a vegetable and herb garden nearby. The active ingredient that blocks the molting process is harmful only to insects. It can’t be absorbed in the soil and transferred to plants. In short, the Sentricon system is the best “termite protection insurance” you can get, and there is absolutely no downside.
