How Do Termites Impact Your Property?
Termites are often called “silent destroyers,” and for good reason. These small, wood-eating insects can work behind the scenes for months or even years, steadily devouring your home’s structural components without detection.
Because termites focus on areas like crawlspaces, basements, and attics, homeowners are often unaware of an infestation until the damage becomes widespread and costly. Termites primarily feed on cellulose, the fibrous material found in wood and plant products. This makes practically every part of your home vulnerable, from wooden beams and flooring to furniture and even the paper backing on drywall.
Direct Damage to Your Home
Subterranean termites, the most common type in Georgia, build colonies underground and tunnel their way into homes. Vital structural elements, such as floor joists, wooden beams, and trusses, are some of their favorite meals. Furniture, cabinetry, and hardwood flooring can also fall victim to infestations. Over time, these damages can weaken your home’s integrity, posing safety risks.
Hidden Signs of Infestation
One of the scariest aspects of termite infestations is how stealthy they can be. You might only notice damage after it's already extensive. By the time floors begin to sag or doors no longer fit their frames, significant structural harm has already occurred. Repair costs for termite damage average $2,000 - $3,000 but can rise much higher depending on the extent of the infestation.
How We Eliminate Termites
Many treatment products and methods are available to control termites, but none have proven as effective in stopping subterranean termites as the Sentricon® System. Evaluated by 30 independent and 60 scientific studies, the Sentricon® System is the best termite control system available. Maple Leaf Lawn Care & Pest Control is proud to be one of a few hand-picked, highly trained companies certified by Corteva Agriscience as Sentricon® Specialists™. This certification requires rigorous training and extensive knowledge about termites, their habits, and how to eliminate them. Unlike a traditional termite spray product, the Sentricon® System consists of stand-alone, lockable bait stations. Once we determine termite hot spots, we strategically install the stations in the ground around the house to attract worker termites as they forage for food. Inside each Sentricon® termite bait station is a cellulose bait that termites prefer almost ten to one over wood.

How Do Sentricon® System Bait Stations WorkA subterranean termite colony consists of the queen, soldiers, workers, and reproductive termites, with the worker termites being responsible for feeding all the other termites in the nest. The Sentricon® System bait stations attract the worker termites who enter the stations, feed on the bait, and take it back to the nest to share. Noviflumuron is the active ingredient in the Sentricon® stations, and it prevents growing termites from molting resulting in their death. -
What To Expect: Installing Sentricon® System Bait StationsWhen you contact Maple Leaf Lawn Care & Pest Control Sentricon® Specialists™, we will inspect your home for termite signs. If termites are present, our trained service professionals will develop a plan for the placement of the Sentricon® termite bait stations at strategic locations. Depending upon its size, the Sentricon® System can destroy an entire termite colony in just two to three months.
How Do We Treat Termite Infestations?
At Maple Leaf Lawn Care & Pest Control, we utilize cutting-edge treatment options to tackle problems at their source, providing long-term solutions for homeowners. One of the most effective tools in our arsenal is the Sentricon® System, a revolutionary baiting system designed specifically for subterranean termites.
What Is the Sentricon® System, and Why Do We Use It?
Sentricon® is the gold standard in termite control, backed by 30 independent and 60 scientific studies. Unlike traditional spray methods, it operates as a proactive defense against termite colonies. It uses bait stations strategically placed around your property to eliminate existing infestations and deter new ones.
We are proud to be among the 4% of termite control companies certified to use Sentricon®. Our certification means that our technicians have undergone extensive training to effectively deploy this system and understand termite behavior inside and out.
How Sentricon® Works
Sentricon® bait stations are carefully placed around your home, targeting areas where termites are likely to travel. The stations contain a special cellulose bait that termites prefer over natural wood, making it an irresistible food source. Once worker termites begin feeding, they carry the bait back to the colony and share it, spreading the active ingredient Noviflumuron throughout the population. This substance disrupts molting, eventually eliminating the entire colony.
The Installation Process
When you contact Maple Leaf Lawn Care & Pest Control, our team conducts a thorough inspection of your property to locate termite activity. We then develop a customized treatment plan, identifying key hotspots for bait station placement. The installation process is quick, non-invasive, and safe for children and pets. With regular monitoring and maintenance, the Sentricon® System provides continuous protection for your home.
