Why Metro Guard Termite and Pest Uses the Sentricon® Termite Baiting System
 |
At Metro Guard Termite and Pest, we are not compensated for promoting any particular manufacturer or product. The solutions we recommend are based on real-world performance, experience, and what we believe best protects our customers’ homes. Today, our preferred approach to termite protection is the Sentricon® Termite Baiting System. Unlike traditional liquid treatments, Sentricon does not require applying large volumes of termiticide into the soil around your home. Instead, the active ingredient is contained within secure bait stations, making it a more environmentally responsible and family-conscious solution. |
What We Recommend and Why
There are two primary approaches to termite control: termite baiting systems and liquid soil treatments. Both can be effective in the right situation, but they work very differently.
Metro Guard Termite and Pest uses the Sentricon® Termite Baiting System as our primary solution because it provides ongoing monitoring, targets termite activity at the source, and reduces unnecessary chemical exposure compared to traditional methods.
How the Sentricon® System Works
Sentricon stations are installed in the soil around your home. Termites discover the bait, feed on it, and carry it back to the colony where it is shared with other termites.
This allows the system to affect termite activity over time rather than simply creating a barrier. In addition to helping control active termite issues, the system provides ongoing monitoring to detect early signs of future activity.
As long as the Sentricon system is maintained and monitored, your home continues to benefit from active protection.
Benefits of the Sentricon® Baiting System
- No liquid chemicals applied to the soil: Active ingredient is contained within enclosed bait stations
- Environmentally responsible: Considered a green approach to termite control
- Safe for families and pets when properly installed: Stations are secured and placed in the ground
- Ongoing monitoring: Stations are inspected for termite activity
- Targets activity at the source: Works through the termite feeding behavior
- Less invasive: No trenching or drilling around the foundation
- Long-term protection: Helps protect the home as long as the system is maintained
How Liquid Termite Treatments Compare
Liquid termite treatments create a treated zone in the soil around and beneath the structure. As termites move through this zone, they are affected by the product.
These treatments can be highly effective and remain an important tool for Metro Guard Termite and Pest, particularly when immediate or targeted control is needed. However, they typically require more chemicals in the soil and may involve trenching or drilling around the home.

When We Use Liquid Treatments
While Sentricon is our preferred system, Metro Guard Termite and Pest still uses liquid treatments when conditions call for them.
In situations involving active termite activity, structural limitations, or specific treatment needs, a liquid application may be recommended as part of a complete termite control plan.
Our Approach to Termite Protection
At Metro Guard Termite and Pest Control, our goal is to provide the most effective protection for your home while minimizing unnecessary chemical exposure.
By combining professional inspections, the Sentricon® system, and strategic use of liquid treatments when needed, we deliver a modern, balanced approach to termite control.
