If you think you have termites, you need to deal with the problem quickly before your home suffers severe damage. Hilo Termite & Pest Control on Hawaii’s Big Island recommends installing the Sentricon® colony elimination system. A pest control expert will place Sentricon stations on your property and bait them with food. Once termites locate the stations, the devices will be filled with Recruit® II bait, which the insects will share with the rest of their colony. The bait contains a substance that prevents termites from molting and eventually kills them.

The exterminators at Hilo Termite & Pest Control say the Sentricon system is superior to fumigation and spraying for several reasons:

• It Won't Affect Your Home Life: When exterminators treat houses for termites, they often must conduct tent fumigation. This requires homeowners to vacate the premises for hours or even make other short-term living arrangements. The Sentricon system lets you remain in your home and provides termite treatment without disrupting your daily routine.

• It Kills Insects Without Chemicals Affecting Your Home: Once the Recruit II termite bait is carried from the Sentricon station to the termite colony, the insects feast on it. The termites stop growing immediately and begin dying off, eliminating the infestation. The system does not use harsh chemicals that might affect your home, family, or pets.

• It Provides Long-Term Protection: The Sentricon system is an efficient and affordable long-term treatment for subterranean termites in Hawaii. When installed by a trained exterminator, it will not only wipe out an infestation but prevent others from occurring.
