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 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.
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.
Shatter Termite Bait is used for protection of structures from subterranean termites.
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.
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.
