Sentricon® Termite Treatment in the Greater Houston Area
In fact, it’s not a matter of if you’re going to have a termite infestation but rather when. Unfortunately, termite damage is not immediately obvious, and these voracious wood-eaters could be infesting and damaging your structure right under your nose.
If you’ve noticed signs of termites, have discovered termite damage, or simply want to be proactive, Modern Pest Control is here to help with effective termite control services in Katy, Cypress, and Sugar Land as well as throughout the greater Houston area.
Our Termite Elimination Process
Inspection
A licensed pest control technician well-versed in termites will conduct a thorough inspection of your property, looking for signs of termite activity and termite damage, how the insects are entering, and conditions that are conducive to these pests.
Sentricon® Installation
We’ll place Sentricon® stations in the soil at precise intervals around your property. The Sentricon® System takes advantage of natural termite behavior including the foraging nature of termite workers. Stations filled with Recruit HD termite bait will act as a food source and attract termites. Once termites have visited the station, they’ll leave a special sent trail that will summon their nestmates. Termites will also take the bait back to the colony which will result in the complete elimination of the termite colony—including the Queen.
Ongoing Termite Protection
Once the existing termite problem is eradicated, the Sentricon® System will monitor for new termite activity and offer continuous protection from these destructive insects.

Commonly Asked Questions
How do termites enter a home?
Termites can enter a home through cracks in the foundation, gaps around plumbing,
or even through wood that is in direct contact with the soil.
What are some signs of a termite infestation?
Some signs of a termite infestation include mud tubes on walls, discarded wings,
hollow-sounding wood, and small holes in wood structures.
How often should I have my home inspected for termites?
It is recommended to have your home inspected for termites at least once a year to
catch any infestations early and prevent extensive damage.
Are there environmentally friendly termite control options?
Yes, there are eco-friendly termite control options available, such as using bait
systems like Sentricon® that target termites specifically
without
harming
other
organisms.
What do termite eggs look like?
Termite eggs are tiny and typically translucent, making them difficult to spot with
the naked eye. They are often clustered together in groups
within
termite
colonies,
hidden within tunnels or behind walls.
Termite eggs resemble small, white or cream-colored capsules and are often found
in areas with high termite activity, such as near damaged
wood
or in soil.
Professional
inspection may be necessary
for accurate
identification.
How can you prevent termites from entering your home?
To prevent termites from entering your home, start by keeping wood and plants away
from your foundation. Repair any leaky pipes or gutters, as termites
are
attracted
to moisture. Seal cracks in walls, floors, and around
windows
to close off entry points.
Make sure your home is properly ventilated to reduce humidity. Regularly inspect
your property for signs of termites and consider professional treatments
for
added
protection. Taking these steps can help reduce the risk
of an
infestation.
Did you know that the same termite control technology we use to combat subterranean termites here in the Greater Houston area also protects national monuments including the Statue of Liberty, Independence Hall, Ellis Island, and the White House?
What’s more, the Sentricon® System was developed to be a green product. Where many liquid chemical treatments use hundreds of gallons of chemical solution, the Sentricon® System wipes out entire termite colonies (including queens!) using only a few grams of strategically placed active ingredient.
Finally, it’s the only termite product ever to receive the Presidential Green Chemistry Challenge Award.

Sentricon® Case Studies
Old Katy, TX Home Remains Termite-Free
In October of 2017, Modern Pest Control installed Sentricon® with Always Active around the perimeter of a home in Old Katy, Texas. At the time there were no active termites present.
In April of 2018, one of Modern Pest Control's termite control specialists visited the home for a routine Sentricon® termite inspection. No termite activity was observed in or on the home but while inspecting one of the installed stations the technician found a bait device 50% consumed and as you can see from the pictures below, live and dead termite workers and soldiers were also present.
The customer was informed of the termite activity and was very pleased at how the Sentricon® System works and that her home remained termite-free.
