The Silent Threat Under Your Home
Termites cause more property damage than fires, floods, and storms combined — over $5 billion every year. They work silently behind walls and under floors. Most homeowners never know until the damage is done.
Homeowners insurance rarely covers termite damage. It is classified as a preventable maintenance issue.
What Is the Sentricon System?
The Sentricon system is the number-one brand in termite protection, trusted to protect more than 4 million homes — including the White House, Statue of Liberty, and Independence Hall. It uses scientifically proven baiting to eliminate entire termite colonies, not just create a temporary barrier.
Always Active — Protection from Day One
Older systems required a two-step process: install empty stations, wait for termites, then add bait. The Sentricon system with Always Active technology places Recruit HD bait inside every station at installation. No waiting. Protection starts immediately.
24/7/365 Protection
Bait is working from day one. No gaps, no off-season, no guesswork.
Colony Elimination
Eliminates the entire colony including the queen through natural feeding.
Proven Science
70+ published studies and 30+ years of research. Independently verified.
Minimal Disruption
No drilling, no trenching. Stations are virtually invisible in your lawn.

How much does Sentricon cost in St. Louis?

What is the Sentricon system?
A scientifically proven baiting system that eliminates entire termite colonies. Bait stations around your home contain Recruit HD that termites feed on and share with the colony, collapsing it over time.
How does Sentricon compare to liquid treatment?
Sentricon eliminates the colony; liquid only creates a degrading barrier. No drilling, no chemicals in your soil, continuous 24/7 protection.
What is a Certified Sentricon Specialist?
A pest control company trained and certified by Corteva Agriscience. Fewer than 4% of companies hold this designation.
How long does it take to eliminate a colony?
Typically within a few months of termites finding the bait. Always Active means bait is present from day one — no waiting.
Does insurance cover termite damage?
Rarely. Missouri homeowners insurance typically excludes termite damage. Proactive protection is the best safeguard.
Can I switch from another company?
Yes. Roberts can transfer existing Sentricon service or upgrade you from liquid/other systems at competitive pricing.
