Is Sentricon Safe?

Sentricon is a safe product for both your pets and family. Some of its safety features include:

• The stations are securely installed by an expert in discreet areas around your home and require a special key to open, meaning your pets and children will not be able to access them.
• In the case your dog perhaps ingests some of the bait, they shouldn’t experience any serious symptoms. Of course, it’s important to take your pet to your veterinarian should you notice them showing any negative reactions after coming into contact with a bait station.
• One of the best features of Sentricon is how environmentally-conscious it is, as it is not known to negatively affect plants or the bugs that inhabit them in your yard.
• Sentricon is regularly monitored by your pest control expert, ensuring they remain effective and safe for your family.
