Sentricon Always Active®
Termite Protection

Continuous Termite Protection for Your Home

Termites are among the most destructive pests a homeowner can face. They often remain hidden inside walls, crawl spaces, foundations, and wooden structures while quietly feeding on the materials that support your home. Because termite activity can be difficult to detect, significant damage may occur before the first visible warning signs appear.

Volunteer Rid-A-Pest provides Sentricon Always Active termite protection for homeowners throughout Cleveland, Chattanooga, and surrounding communities in Southeast Tennessee and North Georgia. This advanced termite baiting system is designed to eliminate existing subterranean termite colonies while providing continuous protection against future activity.

Whether you have discovered termites, experienced an infestation in the past, or want to protect your home before termites become a problem, our local team is ready to help.

What Is Sentricon Always Active?

The Sentricon System with Always Active technology is a professional termite baiting system designed to eliminate entire subterranean termite colonies, including the queen.
Termite bait stations containing Recruit® HD are installed in the soil around the perimeter of your home. The bait remains available inside the stations so the system can begin working when foraging termites discover it.
Worker termites feed on the bait and carry it back to the colony. As the bait is shared with other termites, it works throughout the colony to stop the termites from growing and surviving. This process eventually eliminates the colony responsible for the termite activity.
After the colony has been eliminated, the Sentricon stations remain in place to provide ongoing monitoring and protection.

How Sentricon Termite Protection Works

Professional Termite Inspection

Every Sentricon service begins with a comprehensive inspection of your home and property. Our trained technicians look for signs of current or previous termite activity, including mud tubes, damaged wood, discarded wings, moisture concerns, and other conditions that may increase the risk of an infestation.
The inspection helps our team understand your property's needs and determine the appropriate placement of Sentricon bait stations.

Bait Station Installation

Sentricon bait stations are professionally installed in the soil around the exterior perimeter of your home. Each station contains Recruit HD termite bait, which is available to foraging termites as soon as the system is installed.
Because the stations are placed in the ground, Sentricon installation typically does not require the extensive trenching or drilling associated with some liquid termite treatments.

Termite Colony Elimination

Foraging termites consume the bait and carry it back to the colony. The bait is shared with other members of the colony through the termites’ natural feeding process.
Recruit HD interferes with the termites’ ability to complete the molting process they need to grow and survive. As the bait moves throughout the colony, it works to eliminate the worker termites and the queen.

Ongoing Monitoring and Protection

The Sentricon stations remain around your home after the original colony has been eliminated. Our team inspects and services the stations at least annually and provides additional attention when needed.
This ongoing service helps maintain protection against new termite colonies that may begin foraging near your property.

An Environmentally Responsible Termite Control Option

Sentricon Always Active provides targeted termite protection by keeping the active ingredient contained inside secure bait stations installed around the home. This allows the system to use a small amount of termite bait to reach and eliminate the colony.
The Sentricon System was registered under the United States Environmental Protection Agency’s Reduced Risk Pesticide Initiative. When used according to its approved label, Recruit HD poses no hazard to groundwater and has no label restrictions for use around wells and cisterns.
Sentricon is designed to control subterranean termites, including aggressive Formosan termites. Our team can inspect your property, evaluate the termite activity, and recommend the appropriate protection for your home.

Sentricon Compared With Liquid Termite Treatments

Liquid termite treatments and termite baiting systems protect homes in different ways.
A traditional liquid treatment creates a treated zone in the soil around or beneath a structure. Depending on the property, the installation may require trenching, drilling, or the application of a liquid termiticide near the foundation.
Sentricon uses bait stations installed around the perimeter of the home. Foraging termites consume the bait and carry it back to the colony, allowing the system to target the infestation’s source. The stations then remain in place to provide ongoing monitoring and protection.
The right termite treatment depends on the construction of your home, the location and severity of termite activity, and other property conditions. Volunteer Rid-A-Pest will inspect your home and help you understand the most appropriate termite control option.
