Termite Control in Dallas, TX

Yes. Sentricon stations are locking plastic housings buried flush with the ground, kids and pets can't open them, and there's no chemical in the soil or air for anyone to contact. The bait itself is inside the station and uses a very small amount of active ingredient that specifically targets the way termite molting works. It's one of the key reasons we chose this system.

Liquid treatments (Termidor, Taurus, Premise) create a chemical barrier in the soil around your foundation. They stop new termites from crossing, but they don't eliminate the colony, and treating your home with them usually means trenching around the house and drilling through slabs, patios, and driveways. Sentricon is a bait system: termites find the stations, share the bait through the colony, and the whole colony collapses. No drilling, no trenching, no soil-wide chemical. For most DFW homes we think it's a better tool.

We come back and deal with it, and on older Dallas properties that is worth spelling out. Decades of plumbing changes mean a colony can find a route nobody mapped, so the monitoring is the point rather than a formality. Re-treatment under the warranty carries no additional charge.

Every station on the perimeter, on a regular monitoring cycle. On established Dallas yards with mature planting we agree access once rather than knocking each time, and the report after each round records what changed rather than restating the scope.

No. Most of the inspection and the installation happen outside, at the slab line and around the perimeter. On older Dallas properties we may ask to see a garage or a pier-and-beam crawl space, and we will arrange that separately rather than holding up the whole job.

Bait stations sit in the soil around the perimeter, roughly ten feet apart. On established Dallas yards with mature planting we work around root systems rather than through them, and the station caps sit flush enough to mow over. Nothing is dug up that does not go back.

Covered: free re-treatment if termites return, full station maintenance, repositioning stations as your property changes, and a money-back guarantee if we can't resolve an issue. Not covered: repair of existing wood damage (this is a retreatment warranty, not damage-repair), and coverage after you cancel monitoring, the warranty is active as long as you're a paying customer, and ends with the last payment. If monitoring restarts later, the warranty reactivates from that date forward.

Priced per property, and on this housing stock the number follows the perimeter rather than the square footage. A home with additions, a porch slab poured against the foundation and mature landscaping takes more stations than a simple rectangle does.

Usually yes on this housing stock. Older slabs with decades of plumbing changes rarely give a continuous route for a liquid barrier, and a barrier with a gap is not a barrier. The bait system does not care about the gaps, which on a sixty-year-old Dallas home is the practical argument.
