Have you ever noticed small green objects scattered throughout your yard and wondered what they are? These tiny invaders could be anything from seedlings to moss, but if you’re seeing green, plastic-like stations, they may actually be termite bait stations—especially if you have the Sentricon® Termite Bait System installed.
Sentricon: The Green Guardian of Your Home
Sentricon bait stations are small, green, in-ground units designed to eliminate subterranean termites before they can cause costly damage to your home. Unlike traditional liquid treatments that create a chemical barrier, Sentricon stations attract termites, feed them bait that they share with their colony, and wipe out the entire population—including the queen.
Why Are They in My Yard?
If you recently had a termite prevention or elimination service, maybe you just moved into a new construction home, those little green stations were placed strategically around your property to create a protective barrier. Termites are constantly foraging for food, and these stations act like a Trojan horse—luring them in and eliminating them before they reach your home.
Are They Safe?
Yes! The Sentricon system is an eco-friendly, EPA-approved solution that poses no risk to kids, pets, or beneficial insects like bees. It’s specifically designed to target termites while keeping your yard safe and chemical-free.
Should I Do Anything If I See One?
If you see a Sentricon station in your yard:
Leave it alone – It’s working 24/7 to protect your home.
Check for damage – If one is broken or missing, let us know so we can replace it.
Keep it clear – Avoid covering it with mulch, soil, or debris so termites can find it easily.
