Don’t play hide and seek with termites!

The cost of the Termite Defense Plan is determined by the size of your house and property, as well as the severity of your infestation. An assessment will determine the customized needs and the exact cost. Current Fox customers can get discounts for participating in multiple pest control plans.

There is a basic cost to have the Sentricon® system installed and then an ongoing service fee to maintain the protection. The cost may vary depending upon the service program you and your Certified Sentricon Specialist™ agree to. Once installed, it costs about a dollar a day to keep Sentricon protection in place.

No. When the Termite Technician arrives at the customer’s home, a comprehensive inspection of the interior, exterior, and crawl space must be completed. Qualification is based on the inspection. If conditions impede the inspection, such as certain uses of stucco, foam insulation, or blocked crawl spaces, the treatment cannot be offered. Ask our professionals for a comprehensive list of exclusions.

Yes. The initial installation and the annual reinspection can only be completed if the customer is home to allow access to interior areas that need to be inspected. At the time of the initial installation, a Fox representative must also review all paperwork with the customer and attain signatures.

However, if a bait check is all that is needed after the initial installation, the customer does not need to be present if the technician has access to the property.

Termites are found in every state in the U.S. except Alaska, but they are more prevalent in warmer, more humid climates.

Label directions for Always Active™ technology allow your Certified Sentricon Specialist™ to perform service once per year, though some will come more often. This flexibility allows a service schedule that meets the needs of your property and provides you with maximum convenience.

Liquid treatments are antiquated efforts to keep termites away and can be very disruptive to your property and lifestyle. But the Sentricon® system is an entire system based on the science of natural termite behavior. The award-winning, patented technology in Sentricon uses the termites themselves to destroy their entire colony and kill the queen.

Yes. The stations are placed in the ground with only a visible service cover and require a special key to open. In addition, the active ingredient used in the Sentricon® system, noviflumuron, is designed specifically to disrupt the molting process that occurs only in insects and closely related organisms, not people or pets.

Yes. The active ingredient in the Sentricon® system is not systemic and will not be taken up by the plants, and the potential for leaching is extremely low.

To ensure your home continues to be maintained by the No. 1 brand in termite protection, you must reactivate the service agreement. Call Fox Pest Control today, and let’s get back to protecting your home!

No. The Sentricon® system is for professional use only and can only be sold and serviced by a Certified Sentricon® Specialist as required by law and the manufacturer. Termites are serious pests, and the extreme damage they can do to a home requires specialized training and materials. If you have a concern or question, the best thing you can do is to call your Certified Sentricon® Specialist at Fox Pest Control and ask them to come out and assess the situation.

Worker termites are constantly foraging for new food sources, even if there is an ample supply present. In fact, termites can travel as far as 100 yards from their nest as they search for new food sources. The Sentricon® system is designed so the bait stations intercept the random foraging patterns of the workers.

Termite damage is a nightmare for any homeowner, but unfortunately, most standard homeowner’s insurance policies don’t cover it.
