Presentation Transcript

  1. Broad waist • Beaded antennae • Similar wing size • Constricted waist • Elbowed antennae • Dissimilar wing size

  2. Termite Queen

  3. Chemical Treatments • Repellents: mostly used as pretreatments (before • pad is poured) • Talstar - bifenthrin • Demon – cypermethrin • Various others – permethrin • Non-repellent: posttreatments (after construction) • Phantom – chlorfenapyr • Termidor – fipronil • Premise – imidicloprid

  4. Typical Subterranean Termite Post Construction Treatment Process – Drilling, Ditching and Foaming.

  5. Where trenching can’t be done in soil such as concrete pads up against the foundation, like in patios, entry ways and garages, holes need to be drilled to the soil and treated.

  6. Injection of chemical below pad with 4 hole nozzle tip

  7. Filling of holes with rubber bullet and then cement calking.

  8. Bullet plugs are tapped 1 inch into hole with drill bit

  9. Hole is filled in with caulking compound

  10. Ditch all areas outside of foundation wall and treat with termiticide.

  11. Injection of chemical into and below ditch

  12. Ditched area is filled with recommened amount of chemical

  13. Use a foam machine to inject termiticide into bathroom water lines and any suspicious outside wall baseboard

  14. Hand injection of foam into wall

  15. Advantages of a Typical Chemical Treatment • Termites are not repelled by a typical insecticide • barrier such as Termidor or Premise. • 2. They pick up the chemical without • detecting it and carry it back to the nest. • 3. At the nest it is fed to the other workers • and the queen. • 4. Chemical treatments are less expensive than baits. • 5. Chemical treatments are proven to last 5 years.

  16. Disadvantages of a Chemical Treatment • Environmental impact? • Tends to be invasive with the hole drilling.

  17. Termite Baits Exterra – diflubenzuron (chitin synthesis inhibitor) Recruit II – hexaflumuron Subterfuge – hydramethylnon (can be placed in ground without monitoring – check at one month and then every three months. Firstline - sulfuramid (intended for above ground) Firstline GT – in ground in specific areas Advanced Compressed Termite Bait – has a TIC on top (diflubenzuron)

  18. Drywood Termites
