May marks the 15-year anniversary of the launch of the SENTRICON® Termite Colony Elimination System. Commercially introduced in 1995, the SENTRICON System has remained the No. 1 brand in subterranean termite protection2 due to ongoing innovations over the years.
"One of the most gratifying aspects of the SENTRICON System has been the opportunity for ongoing innovations," says Dave Morris, commercial leader for the Dow AgroSciences U.S. Urban Pest Management business. "Developing new technologies and working with our industry partners to bring those technologies to market has meant added value to consumers. We appreciate our partners' continued support and reaffirm our commitment to the continuous investment in the SENTRICON System."
Last fall, Dow AgroSciences was able to introduce the latest innovation to the SENTRICON System when it received federal registration from the U.S. Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) for RECRUITTM HD termite bait, a new, durable bait. RECRUIT HD termite bait contains noviflumuron, the same proven active ingredient currently used in RECRUIT IV termite bait for the SENTRICON System, but is contained in a special bait matrix that extends durability. Each station for the SENTRICON® System featuring RECRUIT HD termite contains the new durable bait device at installation and bait devices are intended to remain in the stations as long as a service contract is maintained.
The first-ever termite baiting product, the SENTRICON System is preferred by more homeowners than any other termite baiting brand.3 It is environmentally responsible4 and is the only termite control product ever to receive the Presidential Green Chemistry Challenge Award, which recognizes technical innovation that incorporates the principles of green chemistry into design, manufacture and use. The premier bait used in the SENTRICON System was the first termite treatment active ingredient accepted for registration under the Reduced Risk Pesticide Initiative of the U.S. EPA.
The SENTRICON System has protected more than 2 million structures, including numerous historical structures, such as the White House, Statue of Liberty and Independence Hall.
