Sentricon 2:
Termite Baiting and Potential Colony Elimination
 
This involves the installation and monitoring of termite bait stations of the sentricon system. This method is recommended in certain circumstances. The baiting and monitoring method relies heavily on the termites "finding" and consuming a sufficient amount of bait.
 The sentricon termite baiting and monitoring system is an insect growth regulator, which is designed to spread throughout the colony by the worker termites. Sentricon termite baiting and monitoring system was developed by Dow Agro Science, USA.
An insect growth regulator affects termites by stopping the molting process required for the termites to grow. As the worker termite dies off, the termite colony diminishes to the point where it can no longer sustain itself, ultimately leading to its collapse and elimination.
