Different types of termite treatment last for varying amounts of time. That said, it’s important to receive regular inspections to ensure the treatment is still effective.

Termite treatment is not a one-and-done deal. There are a few factors that contribute to how long a treatment will last, including how effective the treatment was, to begin with as well as the severity of the infestation. One of the biggest benefits of the Sentricon baiting system is the fact that it requires a professional to routinely check on the stations, ensuring their long-lasting effectiveness.

As soon as it is installed, Sentricon bait stations will begin to work. Once termites feed on the bait found inside the stations, the colony will begin to be affected immediately. Although the Sentricon does not directly attract termites, they will always seek out the stations in their search for resources. From there, termites will carry the bait back to the colony and spread it.

Sentricon’s Always Active technology was designed to ensure it is effective year-round. Your pest control expert will visit at least once a year, if not more, to check on the bait stations for their effectiveness and proper installation. Sentricon bait stations will eventually need to be replaced with new ones, but will last more than five years before that becomes necessary!

No matter what treatment used to control termites, it’s important to make sure you know exactly how long you can expect it to last. When you use a professional termite control company such as Heron, your expert exterminator will recommend the best course of treatment and aftercare for your unique situation.
