Dow Introduces New Sentricon Technology

Always Active will help authorizes operators increase route efficiency, reduce labor costs

INDIANAPOLIS — Dow AgroSciences has introduced the latest innovation to the Sentricon Termite Colony Elimination System — Always Active technology, a new bait matrix, annual monitoring and LID (Locate and Identify) technology.

“One of the most gratifying aspects of the Sentricon System has been the opportunity for ongoing innovations,” says Dave Maurer, portfolio marketing leader for the Sentricon System. “Developing new concepts, like Always Active technology, and working with our industry partners to bring those ideas to market has meant added value to consumers.”

The Sentricon System with Always Active technology can help Authorized Operators increase route efficiency and reduce labor costs since they are only required to service Sentricon stations on a yearly basis. LID technology is a labor-saving enhancement that helps technicians service sites with no worries about missing Sentricon stations covered by grass or landscaping.

LID technology uses a radio frequency identification (RFID) sensor in the top cap to give each Sentricon station a unique identity. The RFID electronics have been used with ESP technology since 2001, making service visits fast and easy.

Scanning a top cap is done with an Interrogator device. It helps technicians locate the Sentricon stations without giving false readings due to metal objects in the soil.

Highly durable Recruit HD termite bait contains a bait matrix that extends durability throughout all soil conditions. It also contains 2.3 times more active ingredient than Recruit IV termite bait, more than enough to eliminate a typical termite colony. In termite palatability tests, Recruit HD termite bait was preferred over wood and became even more preferable and palatable over time.

Recruit HD termite bait is immediately available to termites in every Sentricon station at installation. Termites can begin feeding on Recruit® HD termite bait as soon as they find the Sentricon station and then share the bait with other termites, beginning the colony elimination process and offering constant property protection from termites.
