Mud tubes
Narrow mud-like tubes along foundations or other surfaces can be a sign of subterranean termite activity.
PROTECT WHATHOLDS IT ALL.
Nuclear Pest Control offers termite protection featuring Sentricon for Chattanooga and Southeast Tennessee properties. Ask about a current termite concern or a preventive plan for the structure you want to protect.
THE RIGHT PLACE TO START
Termite protection addresses active termite concerns and prevention. Subterranean termites can stay hidden while feeding, so the absence of an obvious swarm does not tell the whole story. Share any suspicious signs and previous termite records with our team.
Nuclear uses the Sentricon system. This bait-based method is designed to target subterranean termite colonies and can be considered for both an existing infestation and preventive protection. The right next step depends on your property and the evidence available.
HOW WE CAN HELP
These observations can justify an inspection; they do not confirm termites on their own.
Narrow mud-like tubes along foundations or other surfaces can be a sign of subterranean termite activity.
Report winged insects or discarded wings around windows, doors and light sources, including when they appeared.
Soft or hollow-sounding wood and unexplained surface damage warrant attention. Tell us which parts of the building are affected.
You can discuss a protection plan before noticing activity. Bring any previous treatment paperwork or information about existing bait stations.
THE NUCLEAR APPROACH
Sentricon stations provide bait that foraging termites find and share within the colony. Its active ingredient disrupts their ability to molt, helping eliminate the colony. It is a different treatment method from a liquid application.
Ongoing service is part of maintaining the system. Discuss the proposed station arrangement, monitoring, renewal terms and any existing termite activity with Nuclear. The team can explain what is appropriate for your property and what the service includes.

Start with a conversation about your property and the problem you’re seeing.
Talk to the teamShare your address, any signs of termites and your treatment history. Ask about the inspection arrangements needed to assess your concern.
Talk through Sentricon suitability, the proposed work, pricing and ongoing service. Confirm the scope and appointment with the team.
Follow the agreed service arrangements and report new signs of activity. Ask before moving stations or changing the surrounding landscape.
BEFORE YOU GET STARTED
Know what to ask. Feel clear about your next step.
No. Sentricon can be used for preventive termite protection as well as active infestations. Nuclear can discuss which approach is suitable for your property.
No. Sentricon uses bait stations to target subterranean termite colonies. A liquid application is a different treatment method. Ask the team to explain the proposed system and service terms.
The bait acts after termites find and feed on it. Timing varies with activity and conditions, so discuss the observed problem and expectations with the team rather than assuming a fixed completion date.
A termite letter records inspection findings. Treatment or an ongoing protection plan is a separate scope of work. Tell us if you need both inspection documentation and termite protection.
Call 423-808-2847 or email bugs@nuclearpest.com with your address and any observations or previous records. Our team can confirm coverage and discuss the next step.
