Identify Termites With StakeOut™ Before They Infiltrate Your Home - New Electronic Termite Monitoring System Provides Homeowners With Early Warning
Marietta, GA – April 30, 2007
During the National Hardware Show in Orlando, FL, May 8-11, 2007, The Dow Chemical Company will introduce StakeOut™, from the makers of the Sentricon® Terminate Colony Elimination System.
StakeOutTM helps homeowners verify the presence of termites prior to consulting a professional. The system consists of plastic stations with long-lasting wood sensors and an integrated state-of-the art electronic monitoring interface. These inconspicuous stations are placed in the ground around the home and periodically checked for active termites by homeowners with a hand-held indicator.
“StakeOutTM is a great way to detect termites before they become a problem,” said Julie Pospech, Sentricon® Product Stewardship Manager at Dow Chemical. “The electric monitoring system is easy to use and 98 percent accurate.”
In addition to peace of mind, StakeOutTM also offers homeowners two featured benefits with purchase. First, is a coupon for free termite inspection by a qualified professional. Second, if termites are found while using the StakeOutTM system, homeowners are eligible to receive a $50 rebate on the installation of the Sentricon® Termite Colony Elimination System.
“StakeOutTM is committed to helping homeowners proactively identify and eliminate termites in and around their homes,” said Pospech. “That is why we not only offer these added benefits to our users, but have also set-up a Web site and helpline to provide them with all the resources they need to get professional service once a problem has been identified.”
