Termidor® and Inside-Out from BASF

Since 2000, Termidor® has been used to rescue more than a million structures from termites, making it the market’s leading professionally-applied termite control. Termidor’s unparalleled success lies in its unique "Transfer Effect™." Once a structure is treated, termites forage freely through Termidor, unknowingly passing the undetectable liquid on to the rest of the population through feeding, grooming or mere contact. Within 3 months, entire infestations – even Formosan termites – are eliminated.

BASF also offers Inside-Out for ant and cockroach control, utilizing two effective nonrepellents – Termidor® for ant control outside, and Phantom® for ant and cockroach control inside.

Termidor provides the most effective low-dose control of outdoor ants available, significantly reducing nuisance ant callbacks. The Transfer Effect™ provides a quick speed of kill – 1 to 3 days – but is slow acting to ensure transfer throughout the population.

Phantom eliminates indoor ant and cockroach populations within days (not for use in food/feed areas of food/feed handling establishments). Ants and cockroaches won’t detect Phantom as they repeatedly cross through the treated zone. It can be used alone or with ant and cockroach baiting, for spot treatments or crack and crevice spray.

Get Rid Of Geese

GooseBuster (above left) from Bird-X is the only unit to use actual alert and alarm calls of Canada geese recorded in the wild. Geese recognize them and respond instinctively. Sound combinations, sequences and speaker selection change randomly, causing geese to perceive multiple birds in motion in several locations.

Dr. Philip Whitford has been researching Canada geese behavior and vocal communication since 1979. GooseBuster is proven effective in university studies. Avoid unsightly mess and contamination from droppings and money spent on fixing the ravaged property. Covers up to 21 acres with two units or up to seven acres with one unit.

• GatorGuard (above right). This life-sized floating alligator head scares geese and small animals from ponds. It moves and bounces with the wind and the mirrored eyes reflect the sun so birds think this predator is watching their every move. GatorGuard works in all geographic areas because the pest birds have instinctive fear, not necessarily experienced fear. The pests recognize predator-like patterns and flee. GatorGuard is made of UV-treated urethane foam and includes an eye-hook for anchoring.

New Solutions to Old Problems

Scimetrics, the makers of Kaput® Mole Gel Bait, announces the EPA approval of two new rodenticide baits containing warfarin; Kaput® Rat & Mouse Bait, a grain bait, and Kaput® Mouse Blocks. Scimetrics has established credibility and professionalism since its introduction in 2001 of Kaput® Mole Gel Bait, the current leader in mole control products.

Kaput® Rat & Mouse Bait is approved for use against house mice, Norway rats and roof rats. The product has proved highly effective when used against wild rats. Kaput Rat & Mouse Bait proved far more effective than many second-generation anticoagulants against wild rodents.

Kaput® Mouse Blocks are labeled for use to control deer mice and white-footed mice. This is the only general use rodenticide available for use against these disease-carrying rodents. Deer mice transmit deadly hantavirus, while white-footed mice are important in the life cycle of Lyme disease.

Seasoned rodent control professionals know warfarin remains an excellent and highly effective compound.

Also available from Scimetrics is the new Kaput® Sub-Station underground bait station. Simply dig a hole large enough to fit station and align with underground tunnel openings, then recover with dirt. Baiting is done through the chimney as needed without having to re-excavate.

See your local pest control products supplier to purchase any of the new products.

More information on the products is available on the Scimetrics Web site at www.scimetricsltd.com or by calling 970/482-1330 for details.

IMPASSE Termite Blocker: A Long-Term Solution

IMPASSE Termite Blocker from Syngenta Professional Products provides unsurpassed protection against subterranean termites at a home’s most vulnerable termite entry point – gaps along utility penetrations and bath trap areas.

Made with layers of durable, construction-grade polymer with a specially formulated termiticide "locked in" between, IMPASSE Termite Blocker is a long-term solution with a favorable environmental profile. There is virtually no exposure to installers or the environment and the chemical doesn’t degrade over time.

IMPASSE Termite Blockers are installed by an authorized pest management professional before the foundation is poured. Each takes about one minute to install. After the slab is poured, IMPASSE Termite Blockers are sealed into the home’s foundation, providing long-lasting termite protection. As a result, the typical gaps caused by shrinkage around plumbing and electrical penetrations are effectively protected from termite entry.

IMPASSE Termite Blockers are backed by a five-year re-treat and repair limited warranty, and are shown to be highly effective at protecting against all subterranean termites, including Formosans. IMPASSE Termite Blockers come in various sizes to fit most pipe diameters and bath trap areas, and are designed to complement traditional termite treatments including liquid termiticides and baits.

Termiscope Offers Multi-Functional Visual Termite Monitoring System

Pest control professionals across the United States are realizing that there is a more effective and creative way to monitor for subterranean termites and enhance customer relationships. TERMISCOPE, from 633 Envisions Inc., is the first multi-functional "visual" termite monitoring system that allows the social organization of subterranean termites to inform you of their presence. Once activated, the fluorescent green "visual alert" signals the homeowner of present termite activity and converts the current monitoring program immediately into an offensive program. The TERMISCOPE unit offers three installation options: "visual alert," concrete/slab and standard wood monitoring. The "visual alert" monitor, 10¼ inches in length, imitates the environment found in a mud tube and significantly increases the monitoring zone. Once termites infiltrate the monitor, the patented design helps transition termites into the "visual alert" where they begin feeding on the triggering device. Once activated, the PMP can respond faster and customers will be impressed with your sense of urgency. Concrete installations require only a 1¼-inch hole, thus eliminating heavy and expensive coring equipment. The result is faster installations and lower labor costs. Standard wood monitoring programs are also available. TERMISCOPE can be used as a complete stand-alone monitoring system or as a way to enhance and add value to your current installed monitoring program. The TERMISCOPE system is specifically designed to cut labor costs, increase productivity, enhance customer loyalty and maximize PMPs’ profits.

Termite Detection Systems Offers Non-Invasive Detection Device

After five years of research and field testing by pest control companies, termite damage specialists, and university entomologists, Termite Detection Systems Inc. (TDS) will market to pest control companies in the United States. The patented Termite Detection System is now being used in New Orleans to help locate Formosan termites and is already in use in North Carolina, South Carolina, Texas and California. Pest management professionals use TDS to draw a small sample of air from a wall cavity and can immediately determine if there are active termites inside that wall by an increase in carbon dioxide (CO2) levels. The TDS is a non-invasive detection device.
