Protecting Your Home from Termites Before the Damage Gets Worse
Termites work quietly through the wood in your walls, floors, and foundation, and most homeowners don't notice the damage until it's already significant. Professional termite control stops that process with the right treatment matched to what's actually found during the inspection, not a one-size approach. From Sentricon bait stations to targeted termiticide applications, the method depends on your property and the findings.
Here's how the process works from start to finish:
- A licensed technician inspects your home to identify termite activity, conducive conditions, and any existing damage.
- Based on inspection findings, a treatment plan is recommended, either Sentricon bait station installation, a termiticide application, or a combination of both.
- Bait stations are placed around the perimeter of your home and monitored on an annual basis throughout the year.
- WDI inspections are available for real estate transactions or when documentation is needed.
- Warranty programs and renewal options keep your protection current and your coverage intact.

Warning Signs of Subterranean Termite Activity in Your Home
Subterranean termites cause more structural damage to homes across the country than any other wood-destroying insect. The problem is that most homeowners don't notice the signs until the damage is already significant. Knowing what to look for can make a real difference.
Common signs of subterranean termite activity that Iowa homeowners should watch for:
- Mud tubes running along foundation walls, crawl spaces, or exposed wood framing
- Soft or hollow-sounding wood when tapped
- Bubbling or uneven paint on wood surfaces
- Discarded wings near windowsills, doorframes, or light fixtures after a swarm
- Sagging floors, warped door frames, or sticking doors and windows
- Frass or small piles of wood-colored pellets near baseboards
- Visible galleries or tunnels inside exposed wood
These signs often appear gradually, and by the time they're noticeable, termites may have been active for months. Getting a professional inspection from Janssen Pest Solutions gives you a clear picture of what's actually happening inside your home's structure.
How the Sentricon Termite Treatment System Works to Protect Your Home
Termites can cause serious structural damage before most homeowners ever notice a problem. That is why having a proper termite inspection and a proven termite treatment plan in place matters so much. The Sentricon System gives you exactly that, with a science-backed approach that goes after the entire colony, not just the termites you can see.
Certified Sentricon Specialists install bait stations in a protective ring around your property. Termites find the bait on their own and carry it back to the colony, sharing it all the way up to the queen. The result is total colony elimination. Sentricon works for both active infestations and as a preventative measure, and it has been validated by more than 60 scientific studies, making it the most thoroughly researched termite control product available.
Here is why Janssen Pest Solutions relies on the Sentricon System to protect our customers:
- Eliminates the entire termite colony, including the queen
- Backed by over 60 scientific studies, more than any competing termite treatment
- Installs with minimal disruption to your home, lawn, and landscaping
- Provides ongoing monitoring with visible, tangible evidence of protection
- Earned the EPA's Presidential Green Chemistry Challenge Award
- No restrictions around water sources or wells
- Alerts you to future termite activity so concerns are addressed early
