Termites are a serious threat to homes and businesses across Northern New South Wales. The region’s warm, humid climate creates ideal conditions for infestations, which often go undetected until significant damage has occurred. Investing in reliable, long-term termite protection is one of the smartest decisions property owners can make.
At The Eliminator Pest Control, we use Sentricon AlwaysActive®, a trusted termite baiting system that offers effective, ongoing termite control treatment. This system stops termites from damaging your home and actively eliminates colonies, including the queen. Here’s how it works, why it’s different from traditional methods, and why it’s ideal for our local conditions.
What Is Sentricon AlwaysActive®?
Sentricon AlwaysActive® is a modern, low-impact alternative to traditional chemical barriers. Developed by Corteva Agriscience, it’s now one of the most widely used systems for termite pest control in Australia. Unlike older methods that rely on chemical trenching or spraying, Sentricon stations are placed around the perimeter of your property with minimal disruption.
Key Benefits:
- Always active – Each station contains bait from the moment it’s installed. It begins working immediately, no need to wait for refills.
- Colony elimination – Worker termites unknowingly carry bait back to the nest, spreading it throughout the colony and ultimately killing the queen.
- Discreet and easy to install – No trenching, drilling, or structural disruption required. The system blends in with landscaping.
- Long-term protection – Stations remain in place and continue working 24/7.
- CodeMark certified – Complies with the National Construction Code (NCC) and Australian Standards.
How Sentricon AlwaysActive® Works
Understanding how Sentricon AlwaysActive® works shows why it’s so effective:
- Installation: Stations are installed every three metres around the perimeter of your property, each pre-loaded with a highly attractive bait rod.
- Colony targeting: Termites feed on the bait and carry it back to the colony.
- Complete elimination: The bait disrupts the termites’ growth process, wiping out the entire colony over time.
- Continual protection: The system keeps working long after the initial threat is gone, preventing new colonies from forming.
Sentricon vs Traditional Termite Treatment
When comparing Sentricon vs traditional termite treatment, the advantages become clear:
- Traditional treatments often involve trenching and chemical sprays that can wear off over time or be disturbed by renovations.
- Sentricon provides consistent protection with minimal interference to your property.
- It’s safer for children, pets, and the environment thanks to its targeted approach.
Built for Northern NSW Conditions
In areas like Tenterfield, Glen Innes, Inverell, and Moree, homes are often close to bushland, creeks, or built on challenging sites. Sentricon AlwaysActive® adapts easily to these settings, making it a smart choice for both new builds and existing homes.
It’s especially useful for:
- Sloped or rocky blocks
- Homes near water or bushland
- Projects with limited access around the perimeter
- Heritage properties or areas with strict building codes
