Do Sentricon bait stations work?
Sentricon has been proven to work, and it has many benefits to traditional liquid barriers. While Sentricon is effective, it does have its drawbacks. Because the bait stations are placed in the ground, they often disrupt the termite tunnels, and then the termite workers and soldiers choose to build new tunnels.
Can I install my own Sentricon system?

How do I place a Sentricon?

How often should Sentricon be checked?
