Stop Termites Before They Work Through Your Walls
Termite control protects one of the biggest investments you own. Subterranean termites can move through a structure for months without obvious signs, and by the time damage shows up, the repair costs climb fast. Getting ahead of it with a proper inspection and treatment plan is the practical move.
Here is how the process works:
- A thorough inspection identifies termite activity, conducive conditions, and any existing damage.
- Findings from the inspection determine whether Sentricon bait stations, a termiticide application, or a combination of both is the right approach.
- Bait stations are installed around the structure and monitored on a yearly schedule to track and eliminate colony activity.
- A warranty program and renewal options keep your protection current and your WDI inspection records up to date.

Warning Signs of Subterranean Termite Activity in Your Home
Subterranean termites can cause serious structural damage long before most homeowners realize anything is wrong. Knowing what to look for gives you a real advantage in protecting your property.
Common signs of subterranean termite activity that Iowa homeowners should watch for:
- Mud tubes running along foundation walls, crawl spaces, or exterior concrete
- Soft or hollow-sounding wood when tapped along baseboards or door frames
- Blistered or bubbling paint on walls that resembles water damage
- Discarded wings near windowsills or entry points after a termite swarm
- Sagging floors, warped door frames, or doors that no longer close properly
- Frass or soil deposits appearing near wood structures or in crawl spaces
These signs often appear gradually, and the underlying damage can be far more extensive than what is visible on the surface. If any of these sound familiar, getting a professional inspection is the right next step.
The Sentricon Termite Treatment System That Eliminates the Whole Colony
When termites are found in or around a home, the concern isn't just what's visible. It's what's happening behind the walls, under the floors, and deep in the colony. Sentricon is a termite treatment system built to address exactly that. Instead of just disrupting termite activity at the surface, it works its way through the entire colony, including the queen, until there's nothing left to rebuild.
Here's how it works. A certified exterminator installs bait stations in a protective ring around the perimeter of your property. Termites are drawn to the bait, which they prefer nearly 10 times more than wood in lab testing. They carry it back and share it with the rest of the colony. Over time, the entire colony is eliminated. Sentricon works for both active infestations and as a preventative measure following a termite inspection, so it fits wherever you are in the process.
Here's why Janssen Pest Solutions uses Sentricon as our go-to termite treatment solution:
- Eliminates the entire termite colony, not just surface-level activity
- Backed by more than 60 scientific studies on colony elimination
- Minimally disruptive to your home, lawn, and landscaping during installation
- Provides continuous monitoring with visible evidence of protection
- No restrictions around water sources or wells
- The only termite baiting system to earn the EPA's Presidential Green Chemistry Challenge Award
- Removable and alerts you to any future termite activity
