Don't Confuse Termites With Flying Ants
Termites normally swarm in spring and fall. Swarming lasts only a few hours. Swarmers quickly shed wings, pair off and burrow into the ground to start colonies. Only a handful survive, but it only takes two to start a whole lot of trouble.

 Your Real Enemy
A heavy infestation could mean up to 250,000 of these white worker termites working 24 hours a day searching for and eating wood. |

 Termite Highways
Subterranean termites usually nest in the ground and build tunnels like these into your home. They need earth moisture every 24 hours and the wood in your home. Arab Chemical Treatment stops this cycle. |

 The Reproducers
The kings and queens are the swarmers. They don't do the actual damage, their children do. A queen may live for thirty years, producing dozens, possibly hundreds of eggs each day. |

 How the Sentricon Systems Works
The Sentricon System takes advantage of natural termite behavior. Worker termites constantly forage far and wide, looking for wood to feed the colony. When they find food, like the monitoring device in a Sentricon station, they leave special scent trails to summon nestmates to the food source.
Once your authorized pest control professional discovers termites feeding in the station, the monitoring device containing Recruit II*, termite bait. In doing so, the technician initiates the exclusive Self-Recruit II* procedure that takes advantage of the natural behavior of termites to spread the bait throughout the colony. The bait contains a substance that stops the molting process so termites can't grow. In time, all the termites in the colony will be affected by the bait and die.
