IPM

 A-Academy Termite & Pest Control is committed to providing the most effective methods of pest control while utilizing a minimum of pesticides. Our system of Integrated Pest Management involves using baiting systems and other methods of protection as a priority means of pest control. Rather than using large amounts of pesticides and other chemical treatments to protect your home, we believe in protecting your family from any possible effects from chemical exposure as well. Our 40 years of experience allows us to safely and effectively protect your home AND your family!

The Sentricon® System is the only product that guarantees colony elimination. Independent tests performed by more than a dozen universities around the country have confirmed this. Furthermore, the Sentricon® System has saved hundreds of homes and other structures throughout the country; especially in New Orleans where Formosan subterranian termites were systematically destroying many of the historical buildings of that city.

The Sentricon® System can be found in many high profile buildings such as The White House, Independence Hall, and the historical buildings around the Statue of Liberty.

Besides eliminating active colonies, the Sentricon® System can also monitor the soil around a structure and identify and eliminate new termite colonies that may invade your property before they have a chance to damage your home.

A-Academy is one of a handful of companies in New Jersey that have been approved by Dow AgroSciences to market this unique, state-of-the-art termite elimination system. All of our employees are professionals who work full time all year-round, and Dow's test scores show that our Sentricon® technicians are among the best in the business!

When you use A-Academy to fight the war against termites in your home or business, you can count on the Sentricon® System to be installed and maintained with the highest degree of competence and professionalism.

You will have the peace of mind that comes with knowing you have chosen the best product and the best company to win that war.

How It Works:

The Sentricon® System takes advantage of natural termite behavior. Worker termites constantly forage far and wide, looking for wood to feed the colony. When they find food, like the monitoring device in a Sentricon® station, they leave special scent trails to summon their nest mates to the food source.

Our pest control technicians regularly check each of the monitoring stations installed around the perimeter of your home or business. When termites are discovered feeding in the station, the monitoring device is replaced with a device containing termite bait. In doing so, the technician initiates the procedure that takes advantage of the natural behavior of termites to spread the bait throughout the colony. The bait contains a substance that stops the molting process so termites can't grow. In time, the termites in the colony will be affected by the bait and die.

Step 1) Your home will be inspected for signs of termites.

Step 2) Then, the Sentricon® stations will be placed in the soil around your home or business.

Step 3) The stations are checked regularly for termite activity.

Step 4) When termites are found in one or more stations, they will be transferred to a bait tube device containing termite bait, which is then placed in those stations.

Step 5) The captured termites will feed on the bait, tunnel out and send other colony nest mates back to feed on the bait. As they do, the colony starts to decline and will eventually be eliminated.

Step 6) After a colony has been eliminated, the bait will be replaced with new monitoring devices. Our technicians will continue to inspect these to discover a new colony that might invade your property.
