Whats new in Pest Control?
Whats changed in the last year?
3
Organo Phosphates

• Diazinon no longer being produced.
• Orthene label reduced.
• Last year of Dursban production for Pre-treatment.

4
Synthetic Pyrethroid

• Trying to fill the void left by OPS.
• Replacing OP Turf uses.
• Still concerns in Termite work over repelling
  insects.
• Bifenthrin claims non-repellant to ants.

5
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.

6
Pyrrole

• Chlorfenapyr
• Phantom
• Has not reached its potential on Termites.
• Very exciting indoor ant control.

7
Pyrazole

• Fipronil
• Termidor, FireStar, Choice, Top Choice.
• 1 for Termites, with less than label treatments.
• Outdoor ant control showing very good results.

8
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.

9
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.

10
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.

11
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.

12
Termite Baits
13
Diflubenzuron

• Chitin synthesis inhibitor

14
Diflubenzuron

• 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

42
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.

43
Pic Aeration Recommendation

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

44
Pic Aeration Recommendation

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

45

• 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.

46
Pic Aeration Recommendation

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

47
Pic Aeration Recommendation
