Termite & Wood ProtectionTermite Baiting Systems — Sentricon® Colony Elimination
A baiting system doesn't just defend your foundation — it hunts the colony. Discreet stations placed around your home intercept foraging termites, and a bait they prefer over wood gets carried back until the colony, queen included, is eliminated. As a Sentricon® Certified company, we install and service the system trusted to protect the White House.
- Free termite inspection & upfront pricing
- Sentricon® bait & liquid barrier options
- Renewable warranty protection
- Local termite specialists — not a chain
Why Colony Elimination Beats Defense
A subterranean termite colony can number in the hundreds of thousands, spread across a quarter-acre of soil, and feed on several structures at once. Kill the foragers under one house and the colony simply reroutes. Bait works differently: the active ingredient interrupts molting, so it moves quietly through the colony's food-sharing chain until there is no colony left.
Because stations sit in the soil where termites already forage, the system works with their biology instead of against it. Independent research behind Sentricon® documents whole-colony elimination — which is why it's the system we stake our name on.
Clean Installation, Quiet Protection
Installation takes a morning: stations go in the ground every ten to twenty feet around the structure, flush with the lawn. No trenching through flower beds, no drilling through slabs, no product volume in the soil — a real advantage on waterfront lots and properties with wells, rain gardens, or backyard chickens.
After that, protection is continuous. Our technicians service and re-bait the stations on schedule, log activity at every visit, and your Termite-Free Guarantee stays in force year after year. Most customers forget the stations are even there — which is rather the point.
How It Works
Site Survey
We map soil lines, moisture, and previous termite pressure to place stations where foragers will actually find them.
Station Installation
In-ground Sentricon® stations are set flush around the structure — no trenching, no drilling, done in about a morning.
Monitor & Eliminate
Scheduled service visits check every station, document activity, and keep bait fresh until the colony is gone — and stays gone.
