Sentricon Termite Elimination System
Protect Your Home from Termites with Sentricon
The Sentricon® System is the No. 1 brand in termite protection. It was the first baiting system to eliminate termites at the source and continues to lead the way with advanced technologies and optimized service practices. Talk with us today and we’ll get you started with our Sentricon termite baiting package! Sentricon is one of the most effective methods of termite control, and is regularly used for Arrow customers.
Living in the south, termites are a very serious structural pest. They cause homeowners millions of dollars in damage each year. To gain access to a structure, termites usually build mud-like tunnels up the exterior foundation or enter through a bath trap, the area beneath a bath tub where the drain goes through the concrete foundation. To prevent termite infestations, we apply a termite-proof barrier under and around your structure. This barrier will repel any termites in the ground around your home.
What Are The Signs of Termite Infestation?
Mud Tubes/Tunnels
Termites prefer to stay out of sight, so they build tunnels on structures using their saliva and mud, allowing them to travel in the dark.
Swarmers & Discarded Wings
You've likely noticed hundreds of flying termites every year, or noticed their wings discarded on the ground while they search for a new home.
Termite Droppings (Frass)
At first glance it may look like dirt, but termite colonies will produce visible excrement, known as frass, that looks like dirt or sawdust.
Wood Damage
Termites feed on cellulose, and will leave structures with internal damage rather quickly. Unfortunately, it's not always visible.
What is Sentricon?
Arrow Pest Control offers our customers the best protection against termites. One way we are making that happen is by offering the Sentricon Termite Colony Elimination System. Why you should chose this type of protection is all in the name. This treatment is the one true and tried termite colony eliminator. A special cellulose matrix is inserted into strategically placed bait stations around your home. The termites eat and feed on the stations, share the food with their colony, and in the end, the colony dies.
What is Sentricon?
The Sentricon® System works through a unique combination of bait and behavior. No wonder more than 60 published scientific articles based on field tests completed by the USDA Forest Service and research conducted by 30 universities and external research contractors document the efficacy of the Sentricon System to eliminate termite colonies.
Guaranteed Protection
Using scientific information about termite behavior, the Sentricon® System ends the food chain needed by the queen and her colony for survival. With the proven power to wipe out future house-hungry termite generations, Sentricon gives you complete termite protection. And it begins working immediately if visible, active termites feed on the bait found in our Recruit® AG (above-ground) bait stations.
The science behind Sentricon leaves termites helpless because they can’t tell the active ingredient is lethal. And in lab tests when given the choice, termites ate nearly 10 times more bait than wood. After all, they can’t yell “CHARGE” if their mouths don’t work.

Termite Control FAQs
Is DIY Pest Control a Worth It?
Do-it-yourself pest control might seem cost-effective, but it often falls short because most homeowners lack the knowledge and tools to manage infestations effectively. Many pests have complex life cycles, hiding places, and behaviors that require specialized approaches to control. DIY methods may only address surface issues, leading to recurring infestations and, in some cases, increased pest resistance.
A local pest control company offers expertise in identifying pest species, understanding their behaviors, and applying targeted treatments that are safe and long-lasting. They also have access to advanced tools and chemicals that aren’t available to the public, ensuring more effective results. Plus, pest control experts follow strict safety protocols to protect people, pets, and the environment. Hiring a professional company saves time, effort, and future costs by
How much does pest control cost?
The cost of pest control depends on several factors, including the type of pest, the size of the property, the severity of the infestation, and the treatment method needed. For a one-time service, homeowners might pay anywhere from $100 to $500, while monthly or quarterly plans typically range from $40 to $70 per visit. Of course, this all depends on the company you choose to work with.
Specialized treatments for pests like termites or bedbugs can be more expensive, often starting around $500 and going up from there. Getting a quote from a local pest control company is the best way to understand specific costs based on your situation.
Are pest control products safe for my family and pets?
Yes! Professional pest control products are designed to be used in and around the home, and are generally safe for children and pets to be around. When potentially troublesome products are used, they're generally protected from tampering using things like locked rodent stations.
How long do pest control treatments last?
The length of time a product works varies, but most products last at least 3 months after application. The products used will last between treatments, and will continue to exterminate pests for months.
