 The
inscription on the Statue of Liberty states, "Give me your
tired, your poor, your huddled masses." It says nothing about
subterranean termites. Prior to 1996, termites in the Statue of
Liberty Monument had been a concern for National Park Service
officials. In fact, termites were so troublesome at one time,
the museum area of the monument in New York Harbor was
temporarily closed to visitors.Thanks to the Sentricon®
Termite Colony Elimination System,
termites stopped swarming and were eliminated from one of the
world's most recognized and revered structures.
The most severe infestations were at the base of the monument
that houses the museum and utility rooms. Sentricon stations
were installed in the ground around the base of the statue and
Recruit™ AG stations were placed around the wooden display
cases. Once termites infested the stations, termite bait was
introduced to eliminate the termite colony. Rest assured… the
Sentricon System never sleeps while protecting "Lady Liberty"
for history. |
