Termite removal

To effectively combat the problem of termites, we use the Sentritech System.The Sentri*Tech System is an innovative MULTI-PHASE SYSTEM for the control and elimination of colonies of subterranean termites that leverages the BIOLOGY of the pest: its social behavior, moulting characteristics, the role of pheromones, and constant search for food.

The real revolution is that it does not use insecticides but traditional food bait called SENTRI* Box, formulated with an active ingredient growth regulator (IGR): ESAFLUMURON. This system is composed of three sequential stages: 1. Pre-Treatment Monitoring. 2. Treatment with Esaflumuron. 3. Post-Treatment Monitoring.

Phase 1. Pre-Treatment Monitoring: the first surveys identify the contact points with the colony of termites both outside and inside the structure to be subjected to treatment.

Once the points of contact are identified, we create a kind of barrier outside, at the base of the property, by installing the bait stations under the soil, a few cm depth, and spaced a few metres apart.

These will initially be supplied with blocks of wood to attract termites into the bait stations. Indoors, on the other hand we position the Sentribox monitoring stations, already primed with insecticide bait, directly where termites pass.

Phase 2. Treatment with Esaflumuron: Outside, on the wooden blocks, Esaflumuron baits are added only in the stations where termites were detected. Esaflumuron is a time-delay ingredient that works by preventing the moulting of termites and their subsequent development. The worker termites consume the bait and move the product to the remaining individuals of the colony through the exchange of food (trophallaxis). This creates a poisoning chain.

Phase 3. Post-Treatment Monitoring. With control of the colony achieved, we consider the necessary actions to prevent a re-infestation. To this end it is sufficient to maintain the external stations in "monitoring" mode, checking on an annual basis in order to intervene promptly in case termites return.

The advantages of the SENTRI* Tech system

Very low environmental impact: baits are sealed, the active ingredient is present in small quantities, and is metabolised by termites;

Non-invasive technology: the system is closed and discreet, does not interfere on the architecture of the building to be protected, or on the normal use of the spaces;

The system does not cause any noise or odours of any kind.
