Do you have garden termites in your property? While their presence may seem like a threat to your home and your manicured lawn, you actually need those insects. They hasten the process of decomposition and help in fertilizing the ground by recycling fallen leaves, broken branches, shed barks and dead wood into soil.
If you don’t wnat termites to wreak so much damage in your garden, avoid using wood for walls, fences and stairs in the area. If you have to use wood boxes, make sure that they sit on stones, bricks, gravel, or pebbles so they do not touch the soil directly. Also, take care that tree stumps are completely remvoed so termites won’t convert them into breeding grounds.
Among subterranean species (those that live in the soil), the most voracious, economically destructive type is called the Coptotermes or Philippine Milk Termite. This is what property owners should be wary of becasue they can severely damage your greatest investment.
Sentricon Termite Colony Elimination System was formulated to eliminate species like Coptotermes. Manufactured by Dow AgroSciences, the active ingredient (hexaflumuron) contained in Sentricon disrupts the molting process in termites. Once baiting devices are set in place around the properly and in above-ground stations inside the home, foraging termites that feed into the bait will carry the active ingredient back to the nest. They will leave behind a foraging scent that directs other nestmates to the bait, allowing the system to eliminate the entire colony. And even if the queendom is wiped out, neighboring colonies can re-infest the areas so continued monitoring is done so property owners can have peace of mind.
Sentricon Colony Elimination System is exclusively carried by selected pest control companies and only technicians who receive training and meet quality assurance standards are allowed to install Sentricon.
Proper termite control is not about killing creatures want only but eliminating termite colonies that can actually cause considerable structural and economic devastation. Call Sentricon at 818-4694 for more information.
