As anyone who lives in Oklahoma knows, termite damage is a constant worry for home and business owners. One of the most frequent questions we get from customers is how can they prevent termite damage to their home. Although we’ve known for years what the best termite infestation prevention and treatment method system is, there still seems to be some debate among our customers about whether The Sentricon® System or liquid barrier treatments are more effective. Today, we want to put that discussion to rest.
Liquid Barrier Termite Treatments
There are still some home and business owners—and even pest control professionals—that believe that liquid barrier termite treatments are the best way to get rid of termite colonies. They obviously haven’t seen the great results produced by The Sentricon® System yet. While liquid barrier treatments can sometimes kill some termites, they cannot eliminate an entire colony; the liquid only kills the termites it comes in contact with. The other termites then send out a distress signal letting the rest of the colony to retreat until the threat goes away. After the liquid barrier disappears, the termites will resume their attack.
For liquid barrier treatments to have a chance at being effective, they need to be applied frequently. Which means you could end up paying a whole lot of money for a service that won’t even get rid of all your termites! On top of that, liquid barrier treatments are full of potentially harmful chemicals. While these are intended to harm the termites, these can end up killing your lawn, your flowers, other garden plants and good bugs that you want in your garden. In addition, these chemicals can potentially be dangerous to your pets. That’s a lot of risk to take on a product that isn’t going to definitively solve your problem.

The Sentricon® System has been proven by university research studies and decades of use by pest control professionals to be the best and most effective way of eliminating termite colonies.
