Are There Tentless Termite Treatment Options?

Let’s face it: Few people want to deal with the inconveniences of tenting your home during termite treatment. This not only requires you to leave your home for a few days, but it is also the most chemically toxic termite treatment available. Thankfully, there are many more treatment options available that work more effectively to control infestations in your home.

The Effectiveness of Baiting Systems

Baiting systems (Sentricon) are considered to be one of the most highly effective termite treatments and are the preferred treatment options here at Heron. There are multiple benefits of Sentricon to take into account:

• Once installed, the scientifically engineered bait begins working to eliminate active colonies immediately.
• More than 60 scientific studies prove its ability to achieve total colony extermination.
• The one-of-a-kind bait is ten times more attractive to termites than wood and works to prevent termites from maturing. When they are unable to molt, they will die.
• Ongoing service and inspections by a professional will ensure the Sentricon bait system continues to work month after month and year after year.

Other Termite Treatment Methods

Soil treatment, wood treatment, orange oil, and even heat or cold treatments are all methods that have been used as alternative treatment options to varying degrees at success. At Heron Home & Outdoor, the preferred method of control is almost always Sentricon—this is one of the most reliable and convenient methods of termite treatment available with high degrees of success.
