1. Sentricon Was the First Commercially Available Baiting System
When it was introduced in 1995, Sentricon gave customers and the industry a valuable alternative to invasive and labor-intensive liquid treatments.
2. The Original Sentricon System Won the Presidential Green Chemistry Challenge Award
In 2000, Sentricon was recognized for replacing “extensively applied termiticides in soil around houses and other structures,” reducing “the use of hazardous materials,” and reducing “potential impacts on human health and the environment.”
3. Sentricon Uses the Termites’ Own Biology Against Them
As worker termites leave pheromone trails that lead back to the undetectable Recruit HD bait, foragers continue to feed on the bait and bring it back to the colony.
4. The Sentricon Bait Matrix Only Gets Better With Age
The patented Always ActiveTM formulation allows the bait matrix to stand up to extended exposure to subsoil environments, helping reduce the labor required for monitoring and maintenance while also offering a more convenient experience for customers.
5. Sentricon is Field- and Research-Proven
Field tests by the U.S. Department of Agriculture’s Forest Service, and research by at least 30 universities and external research contractors, prove the ability of Sentricon to completely eliminate termite colonies.
6. Our Research Has Helped Advance the Industry
From Dr. Nan-Yao Su’s discovery of termite “self-recruitment” to the evolution of the Sentricon bait matrix and active ingredient, our research has helped advance the industry’s understanding of termite behavior and control.
7. Sentricon Opened the Door for Preventive Termite Services
