All Termite Treatments Are NOT Equal

Equality. It’s a word that can lay out some pretty heavy expectations. Webster’s dictionary defines it as the state of being equal, especially in status, rights, and opportunities; and they describe the word ‘equal’ as being the same in quantity, size, degree, or value. When it comes to protecting your family, business, or home you need to have the reassurance that the services that you choose as your ally are greater than all the others offered. Termite protection should be on every homeowner and business owner’s maintenance list. These silent underground destructive pests can get into buildings and cause hundreds of thousands of dollar’s worth of damage. Often the bulk of these damages are done before they are even detected, and, unfortunately, most insurance policies do not cover these damages. Thankfully, not all termite treatments are created equal.

Traditionally termite treatments have been defensive, not offensive. Treatments were limited to barrier spray treatments on buildings and into the ground in hopes of deterring these pests. While these treatments may be successful in defending against an already blossoming termite infestation, they require constant maintenance and do not remove the real issue, the actual termite colony. It’s a bit like if the faucet in your tub was left on, and the drain was closed, the water would eventually run over the side of the tub and floods your bathroom ruining many things in its path. You could open up the drain and allow the water to flow down it and out of your house, thus stopping any damages that may occur by the overflow of water; but would you really be stopping the problem? No. Not until you turned the faucet off and stopped the flow of water would the problem be completely eliminated. Treating termites is a lot this this.

Treating the buildings in the path of termites is the same as leaving the water running with an open drain. It stops the immediate damage, but doesn’t eliminate the source of the problem. Here at All-American, we know how to stop the flow of termites. We are an authorized operator of the Sentricon® Termite Colony Elimination System. This amazing system is not created equally to any other termite treatment system. It stops the flow of termites in their tracks. This bait system stops the molting process of the termites, and as they feed on it, it passes throughout the colony and eventually kills them all including their source, the queen.

For over 20 years, the Sentricon System has been protecting some of this nation's most valuable national treasures, such as the Statue of Liberty and The Alamo; wouldn't you trust it to protect your home too?
