Termites - Know the Enemy!
 Before deciding on a treatment, it's important to know the pests you're dealing with. Admittedly, many people have never even seen a termite. That's because they stay well hidden.
Termites thrive in dark, moist conditions, preferably in soil. On average, they leave their protective environment about once a year for mating purposes - a reproductive process known as "swarming."
After successfully mating, they search for a new location to nest and feed. Similar to ants, termites live in large interdependent colonies.
These colonies operate much like a factory, numbering anywhere from 250,000 to, in some cases, more than one million termites. Worker, soldier, and reproductive termites have specific tasks to keep the whole system running.
 At the center of the colony is the queen and king whose joint purpose is reproduction.
The worker termites' role is crucial: collect enough food to feed the entire colony, including the thousands of new larvae that are hatched each season.
Termites feed on cellulose materials and are especially attracted to one particular source: wood.
But how do they find it?
An Underground System of Mass Transit
 Termites probe through the soil until they come in contact with a food source, a process known as "random foraging". From their colonies, these foragers can travel as far as 500 feet. Once a food source is located, they build a path to start their system of transporting the food back to the colony.
In most cases, termites never expose themselves to light or open air, making their detection during feeding nearly impossible. Even in crossing over non-soil matter such as concrete, they'll build tubes composed of soil particles to keep themselves protected.
Everything is then in place for a system of mass food transportation. Thousands of termites will travel back and forth from the food source to the nest, carrying with them the sustenance the colony needs to survive. Termite colonies work as interdependent units - they all rely on each other for survival.
The Trouble with Termites
Termites are organized, persistent, and most importantly, destructive creatures. Each year they cause over $1 billion in damage to homes in the united States alone. With a staggering figure like that, it's not surprising that pest control operators treat some 600,000 homes annually. That's because the best defense you have in stopping termites from destroying your home is an effective termiticide treatment applied by a trained professional.
YOUR AUTHORIZED DEALER FOR THE SENTRICON™ COLONY ELIMINATION SYSTEM
 The Sentricon System destroys the termite colony.
A REVOLUTIONARY WAY TO PROTECT YOUR HOME
Termites have been going after your home for years. Now the Sentricon System lets you go after their home - the colony. Colony elimination is a completely new way to deal with termites. And only Sentricon can achieve it.
The Sentricon System is the best approach for protecting structures from subterranean termites because it eliminates the colony, while being non-disruptive to property owners. The Sentricon System is proven, long-term protection against termite damage.
HOW THE SENTRICON SYSTEM WORKS
The Sentricon System takes advantage of natural termite behavior. Worker termites constantly forage far and wide, looking for wood to feed the colony. When they find food, like the monitoring device in the Sentricon station, they leave special scent trails to summon their nestmates to the food source.
Once your authorized pest control professional discovers termites feeding in the station, the monitoring device is replaced with a Baitube device containing Recruit II
termite bait. In doing so, the technician initiates the exclusive Self-Recruitment procedure that takes advantage of the natural behavior of termites to spread the bait throughout the colony. The bait contains a substance that stops the molting process so termites can't grow. In time, all the termites can't grow. In time, all the termites in the colony will be affected by the bait and die.
