WHITMIRE MICRO-GEN
Whitmire Micro-Gen’s new PT brand 388B Advance ant gel bait with 5.4% borax has a patented thickener that keeps sweet liquid accessible for ant consumption. Once worker ants consume the bait, they return to the colony and transfer the bait to other workers, larvae and queen(s). With the convenience of a gel, PT brand 388B Advance ant gel bait attracts like a liquid, but it also has all the characteristics of a gel due to its patented thickener. Since ants forage vertically, as well as horizontally, placing bait other than a gel within their path can be difficult. PT brand 388B Advance ant gel bait stays where it is applied, making it convenient to use. No stations, pouring devices or level application surfaces are needed. PT brand 388B Advance ant gel bait delivers liquid and sugar in an innovative matrix that gives the ants what they prefer. Designed to work with the PT brand 345 applicator and other standard guns, this ant gel bait is easy to apply, the company says.

BUGEYE TECHNOSCOPES
The Bugeye Technoscope system is one of the brightest halogen illuminated and most efficient portable warmlight borescopes, the manufacturer says. The company developed this technoscope system to assist PCOs around the world. The TS-08230.7090 Pest Building Inspection Technoscope Kit includes a fixed focus borescope with viewing direction of 70 degrees and field of view of 90 degrees, a rechargeable battery, a battery power cord, a battery charger and a transport case.

This adapter has a standard male thread diameter of 52 mm, which can be increased or reduced in size by using adaptable rings. If PCOs wish to use the Bugeye with any digital, still or video camera, they must ensure the recording device has its own female thread located around the lens or cover glass face.

Inc. announces its new Insect Monitor Board, Pocket Pads, which pest management professionals can use to identify high-profile areas with crawling insect activity, entry points and travel routes and to help monitor insect control programs.
