State Pest Control has the experience to control these destructive insects. We offer two proven termite control options to protect your investment – a bait system or a conventional liquid treatment.
The Sentricon Termite Colony Elimination System is a green termite control option for homeowners. State Pest Control will place bait stations around your home and monitor them for termite activity. Once termites invade a station, a trained State Pest Control termite tech will apply a bait to begin colony elimination.

About Termites

What does it eat?
Termites eat cellulose materials – primarily wood and paper.
Where does it hide?
Subterranean termite colonies are located underground, up to 12 feet down. Colonies can contain 200,000 to 5 million termites. There can be as many as 4 large subterranean termite colonies per acre of land. Worker termites forage for food, constructing mud tubes to shelter them and keep them moist on their search. Once a food source is located; worker termites will construct galleries inside the wood and journey back and forth from the food source to the colony.
What can it do to me?
Subterranean termites are an economically significant pest – they can do considerable structural damage to your home. Termites cause more monetary damage than hurricanes, tornadoes, and other storms combined, up to $5 billion worldwide.
