The
traditional method of combating termites involves
a chemical barrier around a structure to exclude
termites from entry. The Sentricon* System
is different because it utilises the biology and
natural behaviour of the termite to eliminate the
colony over time.
The
Sentricon* System is installed in the prime termite
foraging areas around the home. The Sentricon* stations,
which look like in-ground sprinklers, contain special
monitoring devices. These are regularly checked by
authorised and specially trained technicians for signs
of termite activity. Once termite activity has been
detected, the termites are transferred to a Baitube*
device, which contains Recruit II* termite bait. The
termites feed on this bait, tunnel out and get other
termites in the colony to feed on the bait. Recruit
II* termite prevents termites from moulting (shedding
their skin) and this results in the eventual elimination
of the colony.
