Sentricon Termite Elimination System - Does It Work?

Sentricon Termite Colony Elimination System - does it work or is it an expensive waste of time?

We've just had 3 of our house downstairs ceilings renewed due to termites – a waste of our money which could have been spent elsewhere, and a right pain having to live upstairs while the builders were in.

We have a pest control company visit per month but while we’ve had termites for a while they haven’t completely stopped the little buggers.

A Malaysian guy at work recommended to me Sentricon Termite Colony Elimination System which he used at home on his place to great affect.

At the weekend by chance we saw Sentricon’s sales booth in Central Bangna and have arranged for them to come and check out our place for a quote – think they mentioned a fee of approx Baht 16k first year and Baht 8k per year thereafter. So not cheap but if it totally gets rid of the little buggers it will be worth it.

Checking out Sentricon on Google UK it brought up their USA website but a little worrying listed right below is a customer complaints website in the USA – it wasn’t clear to me whether the complaint was with the product or the agent using it.

Has anybody used it here? What did you think of it – did it work? What did you pay?

Hi!

Yes it works - not as quick as the sprayed poisen, but the good thing is that is gets the poisen transported directly into the nest rather than floating around your hole house. I have used it in my house, 172 sqm, two floors. We pay about 19.000 baht first year and then about 8.000 bath each following 2 years. It's expensive but it works without killing you, your pets, kids or hurting the environment.

See also the other topic "Termites Active In Thailand ?" in this forum. I describe the process here and a link to the company I use.

Thanks for your reply - i'll check out the other forum again.

Colleague of mine in KL reckon she paid equivalent of Bht 50k first year so the Baht 16k we were quoted (Baht 1,333 per month) doesn't seem unreasonable.

As I understand the initial cost depends on how bad you are attacked by the termites. We recomended the company to a friend of us who had termites all over. They installed stations inside the house, under the ceiling and any corner. She's now paying about 6000 bath per month but as we understand, only the first year. Hereafter normal maintenance and protection is enough and the price should fall drastically.
