How Much Should I Pay for The Sentricon Always Active System Maintain

Hello, everyone.

I just bought a house. The Sentricon Always Active system for Termite was installed by the previous owners. This system requires regular 3 months inspection to all stations.

They charge me the $770 for the Termite Inspections and then monitoring and bait replacement if required for the coming 12 months.

It is the first time for me to own a house.

Do you think it is a fair price?

    So assuming that previous owners have had a experience with termites and so paid to install this, you can then assume that initial flush out during installation worked.

    But its still a risky termite area, so assuming you can keep the parts installed around your house (ie not a rental) since they are basically plastic holes in the ground you can set a email reminder each year to check for termites and/or replace the sentricon yourself for about $200 for 4 rods (link dont work, just ebay it).

    Also depends on how much wood is in your home, really don't want joists getting eaten away if you are forgetful/cbf inspecting yourself.

    Unless they are checking the house as well $770 is way to much. Ring around other pesties and get a better price.

    • Yes! Thank you for advice!
