5 Questions with Tanner Keeton

1. Why is the Sentricon^® system effective against termites?

The Sentricon® system uses a termite’s natural biology against itself. Worker termites feed the entire colony, so they are constantly foraging. When workers consume the Recruit^® HD bait, they share it with the rest of the colony. As a chitin synthesis inhibitor, the bait prevents the termites from molting, and when they can’t molt, termites die. As workers die off first, soldiers and reproductives starve, causing total colony elimination.

2. What makes the Sentricon^® system the standalone solution?

The Sentricon® system is a comprehensive solution that provides every component you need to succeed. The Recruit^® AG FlexPack^® bait stations contain 100 grams of bait, which allows a professional to treat an active infestation at a moment’s notice, reducing materials and services cost, and quickly bringing peace of mind to the homeowner. Wrap that up with a full installation of the Sentricon^® system around the property, and you’ve got the standalone solution.

3. How does using the Sentricon^® system as the standalone solution save PMPs time and labor?

One unique benefit that we offer is the Sentricon Scout^® equipment. The Scout equipment saves technicians time by quickly locating stations using the RFID chip embedded into each station’s top cap. Couple that with reduced headaches and increased employee satisfaction, and you’ve got a recipe for success.

4. How can using the Sentricon^® system as a standalone solution provide PMPs with business benefits?

The Sentricon^® system can be a springboard for a pest control company’s growth by providing strong retention rates and recurring revenue. Our national retention rate is 92%, meaning — on average — you’ll see nearly 13 years of recurring revenue with fixed costs across all those accounts. With reduced labor on both the installation and renewal, PMPs can improve their margins and increase long-term cash flow.

5. In what other ways does the Sentricon^® system make companies more profitable?

As I mentioned earlier, recurring revenue drives the pest control industry. The beauty of the Sentricon^® system is the excellent retention rates. Each of those termite accounts is now a new chance to cross-sell or bundle our system with other services like GHP, mosquito or lawn. Our partners are now able to keep those accounts longer, make more money per customer, and differentiate themselves as a premier service provider in the marketplace.
