Historic settlement protected from termites by Sentricon system
Schoenbrunn Village, a Moravian mission settlement dating to 1772, is now protected from termites, thanks to the SENTRICON Termite Colony Elimination System and Action Now Pest Control of Strasburg.
The site is a living history museum with a series of reconstructed log cabins throughout the property. An active termite infestation on the grounds damaged the floorboards of one of the reconstructed cabins, built in the 1920s.
After getting a call from the village, Chris Shetler of Action Now knew this site needed to be protected from termites.
“It’s our history,” said Shetler. “It’s a landmark. Any time there is a historic site for our kids to learn from, it’s worth preserving. We appreciate Dow AgroSciences stepping in to donate the SENTRICON System, and we discounted our labor. We try to do what we can as a small company.”
Shetler said she was happy to use this as an opportunity to install the new SENTRICON System with ALWAYS ACTIVE technology, which allows termites to begin feeding as soon as they find the bait. Feeding termites share it with other termites, beginning the colony elimination process.
