Photo Album: Finding Lots of Termites in Our Sentricon® Bait Stations in Barnegat, NJ

Is There Any Termite Activity?

Since there was evidence of termites around the home, we previously installed Sentricon® termite bait stations around the entire exterior of the property. As we inspected one station, sure enough, it was loaded with termites! You can see a number of termite mud tubes throughout the bait!

Yup, There Were Termites!

As well as several live subterranean termites!

More Termites

Continuing our inspection, we found another 3 stations that were loaded with subterranean termites. When the termites come in contact with the Sentricon® bait system, they eat the cellulose material, unknowingly consuming an insect growth inhibitor. The termites then go on to share this "food" with their colony members. The growth inhibitor then takes over and prevents the termites from being able to molt. If they cannot molt, then the colony is eliminated.

Need to Replace the Bait

We carefully disposed of all the eaten bait and then replaced the bait in every single Sentricon® station around the property.
