How Our Local Pest Pros Exterminate Termites
Termite Inspection
When you reach out to Miller Pest & Termite for help getting rid of termites, we'll send out a licensed pest control specialist to complete a termite inspection of your property to identify:
- Active termite infestations
- Termite damage
- Conducive condition
- Possible entry points
Termite Treatment
After the inspection, your termite exterminator will install the Sentricon® System around the perimeter of your structure to create an "invisible" barrier that stops termites from reaching your home.
What's more, this termite baiting and monitoring solution not only eradicates termites foraging on your property; it wipes out the entire termite colony when workers carry the bait back on their bodies. Once exposed, termites don't stand a chance - even the queen!
Once your Sentricon® bait stations are installed, we'll send an exterminator to inspect your stations annually to check they're working correctly.
Our Termite Warranty
At Miller Pest & Termite, our termite control services come with a warranty. They’re performed by certified, bonded, and insured pest control specialists who are qualified to exterminate termites. Every termite treatment we perform includes a termite re-treatment warranty. If, at any point during the warranty period, termites return, so will we - at no extra charge!

Frequently Asked Questions
Termite Control FAQs
Depending on where you live and current conditions, they may already be nesting in your home. Signs of termites to keep an eye out for include:
- A large number of swarmers (winged termites) are found in your home
- Mud tubes on the foundation, by doors, and windows
- Small holes in drywall or wood
- Wood that crumbles easily because of apparent damage
- Sagging floors, soft spots on walls, and cracked plaster
Often, termites can be difficult to detect until it's too late. Have one of our exterminators inspect your home to locate hidden problems you may not be aware of.
In the Midwest, termites typically swarm in April, May, or June. That doesn't mean these pests aren't active all year long. Unless you live in Alaska, your home is at risk of termite activity, regardless of the season.
How does the bait in Sentricon eliminate termite colonies, and how long does it take to work?
The bait attracts termites and acts as an alternative source of nutrition for them. The scavenging termites will then take the bait back to their colonies and feed it to the rest of the colony. The formula in the bait stops their ability to molt, which in turn eliminates the entire colony.
It will take a few weeks for them to find and distribute the bait from the stations. Then, the elimination of the colony depends on several varying factors and can take anywhere from 4 weeks to 3 months to eliminate the entire colony.
If your neighbors have reported termites in the area, your home may be at risk. Since termite colonies are located underground, you can’t detect one before it’s too late. Professional, preventative termite treatments are the best way to keep your home termite-free.
Your neighbor's Sentricon® will not help eliminate the colonies around your home either, as the system can only eliminate colonies where it is installed. There may be many colonies of foraging termites in your neighborhood that could infest your home.
Yes, the Sentricon® system remains in the ground to protect your home against any future infestations.
No, Sentricon® will not attract them to your home. These stations serve as an alternative food source for termites. If there are any in your area, they’ll find the bait station, bring it back to their colonies, and their colonies will be eliminated.
Yes, the Sentricon bait stations are family and pet-friendly.
The quantity of active ingredients in each bait station is so small that your pet would need to ingest approximately 200 of the bait station inserts — which is simply impossible — before becoming sick.
