Atlas Termite & Pest Control Deploys Sentricon System to Save Norman Homes

Sep 23, 2026

Atlas Termite & Pest Control has deployed the advanced Sentricon® System to protect homes in Norman, Oklahoma. The eco-friendly baiting system targets and destroys whole subterranean colonies and their queens, providing long-term security without invasive foundation drilling.

Norman, United States, September 23, 2026 /PressCable/ -- FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE

NORMAN, Okla. — Atlas Termite & Pest Control, a landmark family-owned extermination company operating in Central Oklahoma since 1959, officially announces the deployment of its advanced Sentricon® Termite Colony Elimination System across Cleveland County. Engineered to counter the escalating threat of subterranean termite swarms in Norman’s residential neighborhoods, this proactive, non-invasive baiting installation establishes a continuous perimeter defense designed to target, disrupt, and systematically eliminate entire underground colonies before they can inflict irreversible structural damage on local real estate investments.

Norman's unique climate, characterized by hot, humid summer stretches, heavy spring rain patterns, and clay-rich soils—presents an ideal breeding environment for subterranean termites (Reticulitermes species). These hidden pests live in massive underground networks containing hundreds of thousands of workers. They constantly tunnel outward in search of cellulose material. Because subterranean termites enter homes from beneath the frost line, their destructive wood-boring activities remain completely invisible to the average property owner until significant structural shifting or hollowed framing occurs.

Standard liquid barrier treatments historically used by local exterminators require heavy soil saturation, trenching around foundations, and drilling through concrete patios or basements to apply hundreds of gallons of liquid chemical termiticides. These barriers only repel or kill individual foraging termites on contact, leaving the core underground nesting structure and the reproductive queen completely functional. Atlas Termite & Pest Control addresses this systemic issue by abandoning old-school chemical barriers in favor of a biological solution that leverages the insects' natural foraging behaviors against the colony itself.

The Sentricon system deployed by Atlas Termite & Pest Control operates on a biological extraction principle rather than chemical repulsion. Technicians install low-profile, tamper-resistant bait stations flush with the soil line at regular intervals around the home's exterior perimeter.

Behavioral Interception: The stations are packed with a highly specialized cellulose matrix that independent university testing demonstrates termites prefer nearly ten times more than standard wood. Foraging worker termites discover the stations during random, continuous searching patterns.

Noviflumuron Integration: The bait matrix contains an active ingredient called noviflumuron. This compound acts as a slow-working chitin synthesis inhibitor, which stops a termite's ability to develop its exoskeleton.

Colony-Wide Distribution: Because noviflumuron does not cause immediate illness or death, foraging workers return to the colony completely unaffected. Through a natural sharing process called trophallaxis, workers pass the bait to the soldiers, larvae, and the reproductive queen.

Complete Molting Failure: As the colony attempts its natural molting cycle, the insects are unable to form new outer shells and die. Without a worker force to provide food and moisture, the entire colony structure collapses, eliminating the queen.

Implementing this specialized termite defense requires certified technical mastery. As an authorized specialist, Atlas Termite & Pest Control provides custom property mapping, precision installation, and seasonal inspections to ensure the perimeter remains fully protected year after year.

"Termites cause billions in property damage every year, and standard spot treatments just aren't enough to secure a home long-term," says Justin Blank, General Manager of Atlas Termite & Pest Control. "Sentricon doesn't just build a wall around a house—it utilizes the termites' own social habits to eliminate the source of the infestation. Our team has protected Norman families for over sixty years, and introducing this technology allows us to provide the most reliable, non-disruptive termite defense on the market today."
