Pre-Construction Termite Protection with Sentricon® Always Active™

Protecting a structure from termites is most effective when planned during the construction phase. By installing the Sentricon® System with Always Active Technology as construction nears completion, Cook’s Pest Control can establish continuous monitoring and protection from the very beginning—helping reduce the risk of termite activity before it reaches the structure.

Unlike traditional approaches that rely on soil-applied liquid treatments, Sentricon® with Always Active™ is a baiting system designed to work with termite biology. Once installed, the system is always active, continuously working to eliminate foraging termites and target the colony. This proactive approach supports long-term protection without the need for a chemical barrier beneath or around the structure.

Cook’s works closely with builders, contractors, and property owners to incorporate Sentricon® installation into the construction timeline. Stations are installed after final grading and backfill are complete, ensuring proper placement around the finished structure. The system then continues to be maintained as part of an ongoing service program following construction.

Pre-Construction Sentricon® services may include:

  • Installation of Sentricon® stations after backfill and final grading are complete
  • Strategic placement around the structure perimeter for consistent coverage
  • Always Active bait installed from day one for continuous monitoring and colony elimination
  • Ongoing inspection, monitoring, and maintenance following project completion
This system-based approach provides continuous termite management designed to protect structures over time while aligning with modern construction practices.
HOW IT WORKS

Post-Construction, Ongoing Termite Control

For existing homes and commercial buildings, termite control focuses on identifying risk, addressing active issues, and establishing protection moving forward. Our technicians work with property owners, builders, and facility managers to develop termite protection plans that align with the structure, environment, and level of risk.
  • Inspect & Identify
    We perform a detailed inspection of accessible areas to identify signs of activity, conducive conditions, and structural vulnerabilities.
  • Install & Monitor
    We utilize the Sentricon System to monitor and target termite colonies.
  • Ongoing Protection
    Termite pressure is continuous in the environment.  Sentricon utilizes Always Active Baiting technology that provides ongoing monitoring and control, to help maintain protection over time.
  • Annual Inspection
    Scheduled inspections provide continued oversight to help safeguard your property and maintain long-term termite protection.

The Sentricon® Termite Protection System

Cook’s utilizes the Sentricon® System with Always Active™ technology — a scientifically designed bait and monitoring system that targets termite colonies at their source.

Unlike traditional liquid barrier treatments, Sentricon® works by:

  • Monitoring termite activity
  • Eliminating active colonies
  • Providing continuous protection
  • Adapting to ongoing termite pressure

This system is widely recognized for its effectiveness and environmental responsibility, offering long-term protection through ongoing monitoring rather than one-time application.

Termite protection is not a one-time event — it’s an ongoing strategy.

Frequently Asked Questions

What is pre-construction termite treatment?
A Sentricon® pre-treatment is a preventive termite protection plan using bait stations installed around the structure before termites are a problem. It’s a long‑term protective system rather than a one‑and‑done chemical barrier.
Is pre-construction termite treatment necessary?
In many areas, it is strongly recommended or required because it helps prevent termites from entering the structure before it is sealed, providing long-term protection.
Can termites still get into a pre-treated structure?
While pre-treatment significantly reduces the risk, ongoing monitoring and maintenance are important to help ensure continued protection over time.
What is post-construction termite control?
Post-construction termite control involves inspecting, treating, and monitoring existing structures to address termite activity and establish protection after the building is complete.
