Protect Your Home With Sentricon®: Hawaii's Trusted Termite Solution
At Xtermco, we understand that your home is more than bricks and mortar—it’s your sanctuary. That's why we offer Sentricon®, Hawaii’s go-to termite defense. This advanced system delivers long-term termite protection backed by science, safety, and decades of proven performance.
Why Sentricon® Is Hawaii’s Trusted Termite Solution
Hawaii’s tropical climate makes homes especially vulnerable to subterranean termites year-round. Unlike traditional termite treatments, Sentricon® provides a comprehensive solution that eliminates termite colonies rather than just treating symptoms.
- Scientifically proven colony elimination: Targets the entire colony—including the queen—via strategically placed bait stations.
- Eco-friendly and non-invasive: No drilling, trenching, or heavy chemical use.
- Trusted by landmarks: Even national icons like the White House and Statue of Liberty rely on Sentricon®.
How the Sentricon® System Works
The Sentricon® System is designed to stop termites at their source through a simple but highly effective process. Here’s how it works:
- Inspection & Installation: A Certified Sentricon Specialist® inspects your property and strategically positions bait stations in the soil.
- Detection & Baiting: Termites feed on bait containing noviflumuron, a growth regulator that prevents molting.
- Colony Elimination: Termites share the bait, leading to the elimination of the entire colony, including the queen.
- Ongoing Monitoring: Even after colonies collapse, stations continue monitoring for new termite activity.
Benefits of Choosing Sentricon®
- Targeted and effective: Eliminates colonies—not just visible termites.
- Minimal disruption: No heavy labor or landscape damage.
- Eco-conscious: Safer for family, pets, and the environment.
- Continual protection: Ongoing monitoring and proactive defense.
- Award-winning: Recipient of the EPA’s Presidential Green Chemistry Award.
Sentricon® Cost & Value
Installation starts at $1,000 and up, with annual monitoring fees starting at $400 and up. While Sentricon® may cost more upfront than liquid treatments, its long-term value—complete colony elimination, continuous monitoring, and reduced risk of property damage—makes it a smart investment.
Sentricon® vs Liquid Treatments (e.g., Termidor)
When comparing Sentricon® vs Termidor, the two approaches differ greatly. Sentricon® eliminates the colony at its source, including the queen, using discreet bait stations. Termidor creates a treated liquid barrier around your home, stopping termites that cross but not addressing the colony itself.
Sentricon® is non-invasive, requiring no trenching, drilling, or chemical saturation. Termidor often involves significant disruption with soil injection or drilling along foundations. Sentricon® also offers ongoing monitoring, whereas Termidor provides no proactive detection once applied.
Environmentally, Sentricon® is the greener choice, using minimal active ingredients compared to large-scale liquid applications. Cost-wise, Sentricon® involves moderate installation plus recurring monitoring, while Termidor tends to have a higher upfront price but fewer recurring expenses.
Maintenance, Safety & Peace of Mind
- Maintenance & Refills: Stations are inspected and refilled as needed.
- Safety: Bait is secure, pet-safe, and environmentally responsible.
- Warranty & Guarantee: Many service plans include guarantees.
Pros & Cons of Sentricon®
Pros: Eliminates entire colonies, discreet installation, eco-friendly, continuous monitoring, trusted performance.
Cons: Higher upfront investment, requires professional servicing, slower colony elimination than some liquid treatments.
Sentricon® vs DIY Methods
DIY termite methods rarely eliminate colonies completely. Sentricon® DIY is not recommended—professional installation and monitoring ensure effectiveness, safety, and peace of mind.
