I recently completed an annual termite inspection using Sentricon in a grove in Texas. Sentricon is a termite colony elimination system that uses bait stations to eliminate subterranean termites. The system consists of a cellulose bait that is attractive to termites and placed in the soil around the foundation of the building. The bait is laced with a slow-acting insecticide that is lethal to termites but harmless to humans or other animals. Over time, as termites feed on the bait, they transfer it back to their colony, where it disrupts the social structure and eventually kills the entire colony. The Sentricon system is highly effective and has been used extensively in the United States to eliminate termite infestations.
