Protecting Alabama Since

How It Works
Sentricon doesn't just kill individual termites. It uses termite behavior against them to eliminate the entire colony — including the queen.
EnviroCare's Certified Sentricon Specialists install bait stations in the ground around your property's perimeter, typically spaced 10–20 feet apart. No trenching. No drilling. Minimal disruption.
Stations can be installed in a single visit — most Alabama homes done in 2–4 hours
Termites forage constantly — some colonies up to 100 yards from their nest. Worker termites are scientifically proven to prefer Sentricon bait nearly 10 times more than wood. When they find it, they feed.
The active ingredient (noviflumuron) works slowly — so termites can't detect the threat
Worker termites carry the bait back to the colony and share it with nestmates, including the queen. The active ingredient disrupts molting — termites can't develop without it. The colony begins to collapse.
Colony elimination typically occurs within 60–90 days depending on colony size
EnviroCare's Certified Specialists visit annually (or more frequently if needed) to inspect all stations, refill bait, and confirm your protection is active. You get a written report after every visit.
You don't even need to be home — we handle it and notify you when complete

Alabama ranks among the highest-risk states for termite damage in the country. The combination of warm temperatures, high humidity, and clay-rich soil creates near-perfect conditions for subterranean termite colonies to establish and thrive year-round.
Unlike northern states where termites are dormant in winter, Alabama termites are active most of the year — feeding silently inside the wood of your home while you go about your life. By the time visible damage appears, a colony may have been feeding for three to five years.
Sentricon's Always Active™ technology means the bait is in the ground, monitoring, and working 365 days a year — whether it's July at Lake Martin or January in Huntsville.
EnviroCare Sentricon Fact
Sentricon® with Always Active™ protects national landmarks including the White House, the U.S. Capitol Building, and the Smithsonian Museums. The same proven technology protects Alabama homes through EnviroCare's Certified Specialist program.
The best time to install Sentricon is before termites find your home — ideally before or during construction. EnviroCare works with Alabama home builders to install Sentricon pre-treat systems at the building phase, providing the most effective protection possible from day one.
New homeowners who choose Sentricon at move-in inherit a property already protected — with monitoring stations in the ground and annual service built in.
