Explaining the Value of Sentricon #
- Colony Elimination – Unlike liquid treatments that create a chemical barrier, Sentricon eliminates the termite colony.
- Continuous Protection – Works 24/7 without reapplying chemicals.
- Environmentally Responsible – Uses bait that targets termites, not pets or people.
- No Excessive Drilling or Trenching
- Backed by Research – Used to protect landmarks like the White House and the Statue of Liberty.
Differences Between Sentricon and Liquid termite Treatment #
| Feature | Sentricon | Liquid Treatment |
| Eliminates the Colony? | ✅ Yes | ❌ No (only repels or kills individual termites) |
| Ongoing Protection? | ✅ Monitored year-round | ❌ Chemicals degrade over time |
| Eco-Friendly? | ✅ Yes, targeted approach | ❌ No, uses large amounts of termiticide |
| Damage to Property? | ✅ No drilling or trenching | ❌ Requires drilling into slabs & foundations |
| Cost Over Time? | 💰 Small monthly payments | 💰 Large upfront & retreatment costs |
Overcoming Common Objections #
- Objection: “Sentricon is too expensive.”
- 💡 Response: “Sentricon is more affordable in the long run. Instead of paying a large fee upfront for liquid treatment and worrying about reapplications, Sentricon spreads out the cost into small, manageable payments while ensuring constant protection.”
- Objection: “I prefer liquid treatment because it’s a one-time thing.”
- 💡 Response: “Liquid treatments break down over time, requiring retreatment. Sentricon provides continuous protection and eliminates the entire colony, not just individual termites that come into contact with chemicals.”
- Objection: “I don’t want to be locked into a contract.”
- 💡 Response: “The 24-month agreement ensures your home gets full protection and avoids gaps in service. Termites can take months or even years to show signs of damage, and consistent monitoring ensures they don’t have a chance to cause problems.”
- Objection: “How do we know Sentricon actually works?”
- 💡 Response: “Sentricon is the most proven bait system in the industry, used to protect landmarks like the White House, the Statue of Liberty, and countless homes nationwide. Studies show it eliminates termite colonies completely, not just repels them. It’s backed by scientific research and real-world success.”
- Objection: “How do termites not just go between the stations?”
- 💡 Response: “Termites are constantly foraging for new food sources, and the stations are strategically placed around your home to intercept them. Studies show termites find and prefer Sentricon bait even more than wood. Once one termite finds the bait, it spreads throughout the colony, ensuring total elimination.”
- Objection: “I’d still like to have an inspector come out before I decide.”
- 💡Response: “That’s completely understandable! The pricing I’ve given you is based on standard conditions, but when the inspector comes out, they may find things—like active termites or additional concrete drilling—that could increase the cost. By moving forward now, you lock in the best possible rate before any additional findings might raise the price. Plus, if the inspector finds that no extra work is needed, your price stays exactly the same!”
