If you want to fortify your home against termites, look no further than Ransford Pest Control.
When Should You Call Our Termite Exterminators?
Termites are also known as "silent destroyers," as it might take months to notice you are even hosting termite infestations. That's why it is essential to look out for common signs of termites, such as:
- Mud Tubes
- Discarded Wings
- Hollow-Sounding Wood
- Frass (Termite Droppings)
- Buckling or Warped Floors/Walls
- Clicking Sounds
- Visible Damage
If you notice any of these signs, contact a termite exterminator immediately to prevent further damage to your property.
What Does Our Termite Control Include?
Here's how we make the termite extermination process simple and hassle-free for you:
- Identify the Threat: Our experts will complete a detailed termite inspection of your home and determine if termites are the issue, as they are often confused with flying ants.
- Best Treatment Option: We also inspect the property to ensure our bait stations are best suited for your situation. Note that we won't drill through concrete to place them.
- Customize Your Agreement: Once we've confirmed that Sentricon® is suitable for your location, we'll send you the agreement to be reviewed and sign it when you're ready to proceed.
- Easy Payment Process: To make things even more convenient for you, we offer convenient and secure online payment options.
- Safety First: To ensure everyone's safety, before the installation, we'll call Dig Safe to mark utility lines to avoid any accidents or disruptions.
- Schedule Made Simple: We will send you a text message with the time of the installation. You don't even have to be on-site—we'll take care of it all.
- Strategic Installation: We place Sentricon bait stations 8–10 feet apart around your property to effectively target subterranean termites.
The Importance of Continuous Termite Monitoring
Termites are relentless pests that require ongoing vigilance to ensure they don’t return. With the Sentricon System, your property is under constant protection, but it’s crucial to understand that termite control is not a one-time fix.
- Each year, we conduct an automatic inspection of your Sentricon system, ensuring your home stays termite-free. Our detailed reports keep you informed every step of the way.
- Our annual termite inspections and Termite Risk Assessments (TRA) during warmer months provide an essential layer of proactive monitoring, helping to catch termite activity before it becomes a problem.
- To ensure uninterrupted coverage, we offer 1-year or 2-year agreements for continuous protection. These agreements are designed to maintain the Sentricon System’s effectiveness over time, guarding your property against new infestations.
While Sentricon remains in place, it actively targets termites, eliminating colonies before they can cause damage. However, once the system is removed, termites can and will find their way back. Termites don’t take breaks, and neither should your protection. By committing to ongoing monitoring and maintenance, you’re ensuring your home stays termite-free, year after year.
Top-Rated Sentricon® Always Active Technology
Your home deserves top-of-the-line protection—with Ransford, that’s just what you’ll get. Our termite treatment in Massachusetts utilizes Sentricon Always Active technology, which is proven to be the safest and most effective system for eliminating termite colonies.
This proven and award-winning termite control solution—trusted by some of the most iconic locations in the United States, including the White House and Capitol Building—is designed to provide comprehensive, long-term protection for your property.
- Award-Winning Technology: Sentriocon is a minimally invasive solution and is a recipient of the Presidential Green Chemistry Award for its eco-friendly and effective design.
- Effective Colony Elimination: The bait station works by attracting termites, which carry the bait back to their colony. The bait’s delayed action prevents termites from molting, leading to the gradual collapse of the colony without detection.
- Continuous Protection: Unlike one-time treatments, Sentricon provides ongoing protection as long as the stations are in place. This ensures your property is safeguarded against future infestations.
- Designed for Massachusetts Termites: Sentricon is specifically effective against subterranean termites, the primary species found throughout Massachusetts.
By choosing Sentricon, you’re investing in a trusted, effective, and environmentally responsible solution for termite control.
What is a WDI Inspection?
A Wood Destroying Insects inspection, or WDI, simply requires that a home inspection for pests be performed. This type of home inspection isn't just limited to termites—we also look for other wood-destroying insects like carpenter bees and powder post beetles.
This type of inspection is performed because wood-destroying insects often go unseen for months or even years while they are causing structural damage to your home. These pests cause about $2 billion in damage every year. We offer WDI inspections in limited areas only—please call for availability.
*If you are looking to buy or refinance a home, you may need an NPMA-33 form. We provide these with our WDI inspection.
