What’s new in Pest Control?

What’s changed in the last year?

Organo Phosphates

Diazinon no longer being produced.

Orthene label reduced.

Last year of Dursban production for Pre-treatment.

Synthetic Pyrethroid

Trying to fill the void left by OP’S.

Replacing OP Turf uses.

Still concerns in Termite work over repelling insects.

Bifenthrin claims non-repellant to ants.

Chloronicotinyl Imidacloprid

Premise / Merit

New U of Fl Testing, shows infested zone treatment effective against

termites.

Controlling hard to kill Turf Insects: Grubs and Mole Crickets.

Still waiting on Granular and Foam products.

Pyrrole

Chlorfenapyr

Phantom

Has not reached its potential on Termites.

Very exciting indoor ant control.

Pyrazole

Fipronil

Termidor, FireStar, Choice, Top Choice.

#1 for Termites, with less than label treatments.

Outdoor ant control showing very good results.

Pyrazole

Fipronil

Fire Ant Labeled Bait.

Used in Golf Course for years on Mole Crickets.

Home turf labels, limited by Water and Scrub-Oak Habitats in Florida.

Cellulose Formulations

Chlorpyrifos and Permethrin

Extends residual of product and allows lower percent of AI to be

used.

Most promising on Pine Boars. Cellulose formulations binding to bark? Research is not completed

on this.

Boric Acid Ant Baits

We are reaching saturation on these products.

New ones appear several times each year it seems.

They continue to be registered at about 5% Boric Acid.

This is too high for good ant control.

Boric Acid Ant Baits

.5% to 1% seems to have much better results.

Liquid formulations are more popular, as they can be diluted to this range with different flavors, adding to

the attractiveness of the bait.

But bottom line is: if ants will take it, it will work to some extent.

Termite Baits

Diflubenzuron

Chitin synthesis inhibitor

Diflubenzuron

• Exterra

• Outpost

• Advanced

Advanced Termite BaitAllows direct baiting, starting day

one. Allows quarterly inspections.

Allows winter inspection relief.

Allows flexible station spacing.

Allows for use with a liquid.

Hexaflumuron

Chitin synthesis inhibitor

Sentricon

Thought to be the best baiting System.

Continues to improve.

Label Changes

Preparation for Fumigation• Added “tobacco products” to the list of items requiring special attention as part of the structural fumigation preparation “Food, feed, drugs (including tobacco products), and medicinals (including those items in refrigerators and freezers) can remain in the structure if they are in plastic, glass, or metal bottles, cans, or jars with the original manufacturer’s air-tight seal intact. Food, feed, drugs (including tobacco products), and medicinals (including those items in refrigerators and freezers) not in plastic, glass, or metal bottles, cans, or jars with the original manufacturer’s air-tight seal intact, need to be removed from the fumigation site, or double-bagged in Nylofume bags . . .”

Label Changes

Preparation for Fumigation• Added sections describing multi-unit and connected structures “When fumigating a single unit/room within or connected to a larger structure (such as town houses, apartments, condominiums) all units of the entire structure must be prepared as a fumigated structure, and all applicable rules, regulations and label instructions apply, such as occupant notification, structure preparation, posting, securing and aeration…”

Label Changes

Preparation for Fumigation• Added sections describing multi-unit and connected structures (continued) “A connected structure is defined as any structure connected with the structure to be fumigated by construction elements (e.g pipes, conduits, ducts, etc.) which may allow passage of fumigant between the structures. Any connected structure must be vacated during the fumigation process unless it is isolated from the structure to be fumigated by methods which prevent passage of the fumigant from the structure to be fumigated into the connected structure…”

Label Changes

Preparation for Fumigation

• Cited correct regulation for fumigation of surface ships in port“The professional fumigator and the ship’s captain (or owner) shall follow all applicable regulations including those listed in the Coast Guard, DOT, Title 46 Shipping, section Parts 147A.1-147A.43.”

Pic Aeration Recommendation

• During your final walk-thru before releasing chloropicrin and Vikane,– Open all openings to attics and sub-areas– Make sure all internal operable doors are

opened• Includes closet doors, cabinet drawers, storage

chests and appliances

Pic Aeration Recommendation

During the 6-8 hours of passive aeration [step(2) of aerations procedures 1 or 2],

Dow AgroSciences strongly encourage that fumigators incorporate the following enhancements for greater aeration efficiency………….

Pic Aeration Recommendation

1. Always fully open attic doors and direct a fan to blow up into this area.

Open attic access door

Pic Aeration Recommendation

2. If the structure has window mounted or central heating and A/C, switch the fan (or blower) to ON.

Fan Switch ON

Fan Switch ON

Pic Aeration Recommendation

3. If you prefer not to change the equipment in the structure, place a fan in front of the furnace inlet to blow air into the central heating and cooling ducts.

Pic Aeration Recommendation

4. If ceiling fans or attic fans are available in the structure, switch those fans ON during the entire aeration period.

Pic Aeration Recommendation

5. If the structure has an attached garage, place a fan in the doorway of the structure blowing air INTO the garage.
