Termite Treatment on Long Island

If you’ve ever experienced the frustration of dealing with ants marching across your kitchen countertops, you’re not alone. Ants are one of the most common pest issues homeowners in Long Island face. Many homeowners prefer to try more natural remedies before reaching for insecticides or calling a professional ant control company, but DIY ant control methods can have varying levels of success. Let’s explore some common home remedy solutions to keep those pesky ants at bay.

Once you’ve confirmed the presence of termites in your home, the next step is getting rid of them. But how are you supposed to do that? There are a variety of termite treatments you can buy at the store, but are they enough to solve the problem? For established infestations, probably not – you’ll probably need to hire a termite treatment expert so you can be sure they’re eliminated.

At Arrow Exterminating, we proudly use Sentricon termite treatment. Sentricon is widely recognized as the gold standard for termite control across the industry. Keep reading to learn more about how we use Sentricon to treat termite infestations.

Sentricon Termite Colony Elimination System Review

Sentricon bait stations are widely considered one of the most — if not the most — reliable termite treatment options available today. Here’s how we use Sentricon to solve your termite problem:

1. Our technicians install the bait stations strategically around your home. The scientifically engineered baits begin attracting termites immediately. Termites collect the bait as if it’s food.
2. The bait is shared and spread throughout the colony. Eventually, it’s shared with every member of the colony, including the queen.
3. The active ingredient prevents termites from maturing. When the termites are unable to molt, they die. Gradually, the entire colony dies off.
4. Ongoing service and inspections by a Arrow Exterminating technician ensure termites continue to stay away.

Are Bait Stations the Best Termite Treatment?

For most termite infestations, yes, bait stations are the best treatment. Termite treatments generally fall into two categories: liquid treatments and bait treatments. Liquid treatments can be effective if you know where a termite colony is located and you can apply it directly in the areas where they travel. Even with liquid termite treatment, your termite control expert may also recommend bait stations.

Bait stations are more effective at eliminating established termite infestations because, unlike liquid treatment, bait stations provide a dynamic solution. The bait moves with the termites rather than remaining in one location like liquid treatment. Termites take it to the colony themselves where it will be most effective.
