 Subterranean
termites were discovered in the West Wing of the White House in
1998, when termites swarmed just 30 feet from the Oval Office.
The termites entered the White House through a small crack in
the foundation. Though no major structural damage was found,
damage was discovered under a window and in the baseboard nearby
where the termites had swarmed. Immediate action was needed to
protect the structure from future termite damage.A local
Authorized Operator installed the Sentricon®
Termite Colony Elimination System
at the White House to eliminate the termite colony and
permanently protect the structure from future termite attacks.
The Sentricon System was installed with in-ground stations
strategically placed around the entire perimeter of the
structure. Recruit™ AG bait stations, the above ground component
of the Sentricon System, were also installed in the area inside
the White House where the termites were discovered.
Termites actively fed on the Recruit AG bait stations inside
the White House where the damage was found, and on the Recruit
II termite bait in the in-ground Sentricon System stations
around the White House. Rest assured…the Sentricon System never
sleeps while protecting the White House from future termite
invasions. |
