The Sentricon® system is the number one brand in termite protection, and Talent Termite is proud to partner with them as Certified Sentricon Specialists. The Sentricon system for termites delivers complete, around-the-clock protection against subterranean termites, eliminating the colony at its source instead of just treating the area around your home.
The Sentricon system for termites works by turning termites' own behavior against them. We install a ring of in-ground bait stations around the perimeter of your home, spaced roughly every ten feet and positioned near the areas termites are most likely to travel. Each station is loaded with Always Active bait from the day it goes in, so there's no waiting period for protection to begin.
Our team monitors the stations on a regular schedule to check for activity. When termites find a station, they feed on the bait and carry it back to the colony, sharing it with the rest of the population. Because the active ingredient stops termites from molting, the entire colony collapses, including the queen. Once activity is found, we continue monitoring and re-baiting as needed to make sure the colony is fully eliminated and new ones don't move in.
1. Proven curative and preventative termite protection.
2. With stations baited all the time, Always ActiveTM technology provides continuous protection 24/7/365.
3. Historic sites protected include the White House, Statue of Liberty, Ellis Island, Independence Hall, the French Quarter in New Orleans and many others.
Every Sentricon installation starts with a thorough termite inspection, so we can confirm activity and place the bait stations where they'll protect your home best.
Sentricon is an ongoing service rather than a one-time treatment. The system is installed under an annual agreement that covers monitoring, bait replenishment, and continued protection, and it renews each year to keep your coverage active. Because termites are a year-round threat in Hampton Roads, that continuous protection is what keeps your home covered long after the initial installation.
The cost depends on the size of your property, the number of stations required, and the layout of your home, so we provide a free estimate and clear pricing before any work begins. Contact us for an exact quote for your property.
The most common question termite customers ask is whether to choose a bait system like Sentricon or a liquid barrier treatment. Both are effective, but they work differently.
A liquid barrier treatment involves applying termiticide into the soil around and beneath your home, creating a treated zone that kills termites as they pass through. It often requires trenching and drilling, and it acts as a barrier rather than eliminating the colony itself.
The Sentricon system for termites takes a different approach. Instead of treating the soil, it uses bait to wipe out the entire colony at its source, including the queen. There's no trenching, no drilling into your foundation, and no large volume of liquid chemical applied around your home. It also provides ongoing monitoring, so you know your protection is working year-round. For many homeowners, that mix of colony elimination and continuous, low-disruption protection is what makes Sentricon the preferred choice.
When your home is protected by the Sentricon system and kept under an active agreement, you have ongoing defense against the subterranean termites responsible for the most costly structural damage. As long as your service stays current, our team continues to monitor, re-bait, and protect your home against new activity.

For most homeowners, yes. The Sentricon system for termites eliminates the entire colony rather than just treating the area around your home, and its ongoing monitoring means you're protected year-round. Given how expensive termite damage can be to repair, that continuous protection usually pays for itself.
We place bait stations around your home's perimeter. Termites feed on the bait, carry it back to the colony, and share it, which collapses the colony at its source. We monitor the stations regularly and re-bait as needed.
Cost depends on the size and layout of your property and the number of stations needed. Sentricon is an annual, renewable service, and we provide a free estimate with clear pricing before any work begins.
Both work, but they differ. Liquid treatments create a chemical barrier in the soil and often require trenching or drilling, while Sentricon uses bait to eliminate the whole colony with no trenching and ongoing monitoring. Many homeowners prefer Sentricon for that reason.
Yes. The bait targets termites specifically and is housed in discreet, tamper-resistant in-ground stations, making it a low-impact option for homes with children and pets.
