    Q
    How is Shatter different than Sentricon also made by Dow Agrosciences other than the shape?
    Is the level of Hexaflumeron vary from shatter to sentricon?
    A

    The active ingredient in Shatter Bait is hexaflumuron, while the active ingredient in the Sentricon bait is noviflumuron. The Sentricon system is sold exclusively to licensed and certified professionals and is not available for sale to unlicensed homeowners. This means that a contract with a Certified Sentricon Specialist is required to inspect and maintain the stations, easily costing a homeowner several hundred dollars a year simply for maintenance. Because the replacement parts are proprietary, no parts by other manufacturers are interchangeable for use with Sentricon stations.

    Yes, you can install Shatter Termite Bait yourself. Pest control Pros use the same products we sell. You would install the shatter bait in the Hexpro Baiting system if Termite activity is present. Please review the guidelines for the Hexpro Baiting System.

    Q
    Can I use Shatter bait from the start?
    I only visit my vacation home every 6 months. I am not available for monthly, bi-monthly monitoring. Can I use the Shatter cartridges right away?
    A

    Yes, you have the option to put Shatter Termite Bait in the termite bait stations prior to seeing any activity, but bare in mind that the bait is only viable for 90 days once opened.  Therefore will need to be replaced every 3 months to maintain effectiveness.

  • Asked by Lee from Ellijay, Ga
    11/25/2016
    Q
    Will the Shatter Termite Bait fit in my current baiting system? We have a tube that is 7 1/4" x 1"
    We have a system, installed before we bought the house. Have no sign of termites currently. Hoping not to have to buy a complete system
    A

    Shatter Termite Bait is 1.75 inches wide so would not fit in the stations you currently have.  Some stations can only be serviced by a professional company.  For example, with the Sentricon system, if that is what you have, the replacement pieces are only available to licensed professionals.

  • Asked by Tom from Elk Horn, Iowa
    09/14/2021
    Q
    Should I place the Shatter Termite Bait now (early fall) or wait until spring? Termites are in the bait station.
    A

    Shatter Termite Bait  should be deployed in one of the HexPro stations anytime after evidence of termite activity has been discovered.  Once deployed, the bait cartridges must remain in the station as long as the termites continue to be active and feed from that station. After all termite activity has ceased you can replace the Shatter bait with a monitoring device.

    Q
    Can you use the Shatter Termite Bait in the Sentricon system containers?
    A

    The Hexpro Shatter Bait is made by Dow just as the Sentricon stations are. They would be the closest in size and functionality to the Sentricon stations. Our understanding is the shatter bait will fit inside the Sentricon brand units (when placed upside down) and many customer have purchased them for the same purpose.
