Comparisons between termite control systems
System: | Sentricon bait system | Soil treatment | Liquid treatment |
---|---|---|---|
How it works: | The Sentricon bait system mimics the random foraging patterns in worker termites to find food. The baits contain an active ingredient which prevent the termites from peeling and growing. | The soil treatment makes the ground underneath a house inhabitable for termites. | The liquid treatment used to prevent termites from venturing inside the house. |
Method: | Our specialists will survey around the house to determine the termites’ foraging patterns and apply the Sentricon Station with the bait accordingly. This is all done without damaging any flooring or walls. | Someone will drill into the foundations of the house in order to release the treatment underground. | Someone will spray the area surrounding and inside the house with termiticide. |
Efficacy: | Due to their inability to shred and grow they will die. This process will eventually lead to the elimination of the entire colony of termites. | The treatment is only effective to the areas that the chemical can reach and depends on the soil condition. However, it is harmful to all living organisms and the environments. | The treatment is only effective to the areas that the chemical can reach.

Certification: | Sentricon system was given the Presidential Green Chemistry Challenge Award from the US. | - | - |
