Termite Treatment in Massachusetts and New Hampshire
Usually, when your home sustains serious damage, you know about it right away. A big storm blows through town and pulls shingles off your roof, or an overthrown baseball breaks through a living room window. You’re much less likely to think about damage to your house that is completely out of sight, but that’s part of the reason why termites are so dangerous. A termite infestation usually occurs inside your walls, making it invisible to everyone in your house. As long as it’s allowed to remain, the termites will eat away at the wooden elements in your Massachusetts or New Hampshire home, slowly leading to severe structural damage.
Getting rid of a termite infestation requires professional treatment, as does preventing one. Regardless of whether you have termites in your home or not, it’s always wise to have a termite inspection performed by professionals who know the signs to look for, not only of an active infestation but also of conditions in or around your home that might lead to a future problem. Freedom Pest Control provides full-service termite control services to identify if termites are present and to protect your home from active and future infestations.
Our Termite Control Process
INSPECTION
Our termite control services begin with a thorough inspection performed by one of our certified Wood-Destroying Insect (WDI) technicians. During the inspection, our technician identifies the specific conditions that make your home vulnerable to termite activity — things like moisture, wood-to-soil contact, mud tubes, and termite swarmers. This detailed assessment, combined with your input, allows us to pinpoint all active termite activity and the underlying conditions enabling it. From there, our technician maps out a targeted treatment plan designed around the Sentricon® System with Always Active™ — the most scientifically proven termite solution available today.
TREATMENT
We exclusively use the Sentricon® System with Always Active™, America's #1 termite baiting system, trusted by millions of homeowners and backed by decades of university research. Unlike liquid barrier treatments that can degrade over time or fail to reach the colony, Sentricon® targets termites at the source — the colony itself.
At the heart of the system is Recruit® HD bait, which is made available to termites immediately thanks to Always Active™ technology. Recruit® HD has been scientifically proven to be preferred by termites over ten times more than wood, making it irresistible to foraging workers. Bait stations are discreetly installed in the ground around your home, each with a tamper-resistant service cover accessible only with a special key — safe for children, pets, and the environment.
Here's why Sentricon® works so effectively: When termites discover the bait, they carry it back and share it with the rest of the colony — including the queen. The active ingredient, noviflumuron, prevents termites from molting, causing the colony to collapse from within. Once the colony dies, the queen dies with it, eliminating the entire threat — not just the termites you can see.
ONGOING PROTECTION
Sentricon® with Always Active™ doesn't just treat an existing infestation — it provides continuous, 24/7 protection against future termite colonies that may migrate onto your property. The system remains active year-round, so your home is always defended, even when you're not thinking about it.
As part of our service, your property is regularly monitored and maintained by our Certified Sentricon® Specialists — trained professionals who are authorized and equipped to manage the system to its fullest potential. With Sentricon®, there's no disruption to your landscaping, no chemicals injected into your foundation, and no worry. Just proven, permanent protection.
