Term-Alert™ Termite Protection System
Our Term-Alert™ termite protection system is designed to detect the presence of termites before they even reach your home’s structure. By strategically placing tamper-resistant monitoring stations around your home’s perimeter, the Term-Alert™ system allows us to monitor for signs of activity before termites ever become a problem in your home.
The Term-Alert™ termite protection system works like a security system for your home against termites and can detect an existing termite colony before it reaches your house. If termite activity is detected on your property, Rottler will safely and effectively treat the infested area. Once we eliminate the existing colony, we will continue to monitor your home bimonthly to protect against future infestations.
Sentricon® Termite Colony Elimination System
In addition to the Term-Alert™ termite protection system, Rottler also offers the Rottler Termite Protection program featuring the Sentricon® Termite Colony Elimination System, which eliminates the risk of termite infestations with great success. Here’s how the Sentricon® System works:
- Termite Inspection: A Sentricon® Certified Specialist inspects your property for signs of a termite infestation.
- Sentricon Installation: Sentricon® stations containing bait will be placed in the soil around the house, attracting termites to the stations.
- Attract Termites: Bait contained in the system is immediately accessible to the termites once the station is placed in the ground.
- Termite Extermination: Termites share the bait with the rest of the colony, ensuring the entire termite colony is completely eliminated.
- Termite Monitoring: Rottler’s termite control team continues to monitor Sentricon® stations for signs of termite activity.
What You Can Expect From Rottler Exterminators
- Our termite programs begin with a thorough interior and exterior inspection of your home to identify signs of termites and areas conducive to termite activity.
- Once areas of concern have been located, our team of professional termite exterminators install inconspicuous monitoring stations around the perimeter of your home.
- To prevent further infestations, we monitor these stations on a bimonthly (term-alert = bimonthly, sentricon = 1x/yr) basis for signs of termite activity. For every service we provide, you are presented with a service report detailing any findings or changes in termite activity, as well as the necessary treatment measures taken.

Termite FAQs
Signs of termites include swarmers (usually in early spring months), shelter tubes, and wood damage.
Termite swarmers and flying ants are often mistaken for one another. However, you can tell them apart by these key characteristics:
- Termite Swarmers have straight antennae and bodies, with wings that are equal in length and about twice the length of their body
- Flying Ants feature bent antennae, a pinched waist, and wings of unequal length.
According to the National Pest Management Association, termites cause over $5 Billion in property damage annually. This is why termite inspections are crucial for homeowners to detect these pests early on.
Our inspectors will begin at the foundation and thoroughly examine every crack, crevice, and potential entry point for signs of termites or damage, both past and present. They will also check for visible signs of termite activity and develop a tailored treatment plan based on their findings.
The cost of a termite inspection can vary, but on average, it ranges from $75 to $300 for a basic inspection. This typically includes a visual assessment of the entire property, including crawl spaces, basements, and attics. While it may seem like an additional expense, a termite inspection is a small investment compared to the significant cost of repairing extensive termite damage.
Termite infestations can cause significant damage, resulting in costly repairs and potential structural issues. Annual termite inspections serve as a proactive measure to detect these pests before they inflict any harm. Investing in a termite inspection can save you thousands of dollars in repair costs down the line.
