BASF announces not one, but two new products, which have been introduced to pest managers via a series of seminars held across the country.\u00a0<\/em>

Pest control operators around Australia are getting their hands on the next generation Termidor technology \u2013 Termidor Dry and Termidor Foam<\/a>,\u00a0as well as a new Goliath liquid ant bait. These innovations by global chemical company BASF, will provide pest control operators with new professional options.<\/p>\n

At a series of launch events across Brisbane, Sydney and Melbourne in November, the BASF<\/a> pest control team led by commercial manager Stewart Paterson<\/strong>, presented the benefits of the new products.<\/p>\n

\u201cWe were really impressed with the turnout across the three venues. Despite their work commitments, pest professionals were still keen to find out about our new products and get on board early,\u201d said Mr Paterson.<\/p>\n

One of the highlights of the event involved Dr David<\/strong> Elmouttie<\/strong>, the team\u2019s technical specialist (main picture, above) conducting an on-site experiment to show how Termidor Foam expands and holds in place. The new foam, which can be applied through BASF\u2019s specially modified System III, has been specifically formulated as a long lasting, dry foam, so it doesn\u2019t turn to liquid like conventional foams.<\/p>\n

\u201cThis is an industry changing improvement. Foaming is not new, but this is by far the right way to foam \u2013 to deliver more effective control, the first time,\u201d claimed Dr Elmouttie.<\/p>\n

\u201cThe unsurpassed 30:1 expansion ratio ensures that Termidor Foam will work through intricate termite workings and carton material without dissipating and turning to water like some other foams.<\/p>\n

\u201cTermidor Foam has been specifically designed with 0.05 g\/kg of fipronil,\u00a0to ensure the product does not kill too quickly, to allow the powerful Termidor \u2018Transfer effect\u2019 to go to work. This means that Termidor Foam will be highly effective for stage one colony elimination when treating termite nests in and off structure, bivouacs, baiting stations or other areas with termite activity.\u201d<\/p>\n

The launch event also included the launch of Termidor Dry, the first termiticide and insecticide to be formulated with the revolutionary BASF patented \u2018Microllose\u2019 carrier, which is promoted by BASF to improve flowability and increase product palatability.<\/p>\n

\u201cThe new \u2018Microllose\u2019 carrier in Termidor Dry is less hydrophilic (water attracting) than other carriers such\u00a0as talc, cellulose or alpha-cellulose, which ensures improved flow through damp termite galleries and workings, minimising clogging. \u2018Microllose\u2019\u00a0also provides a highly palatable food source, more so than timber itself,\u201d<\/p>\n

\u201cThe \u2018Microllose\u2019 advantage results\u00a0in Termidor Dry not only being an incredible contact termiticide with increased flowability, but also a highly palatable food source, ensuring Termidor Dry quickly controls termites and is transferred among termites via the Termidor \u2018Transfer effect\u2019.\u201d<\/p>\n

The launch event also introduced the new Goliath liquid ant bait. The new formulation, rich in sugar and containing fipronil, is designed to be highly attractive to carbohydrate feeding ants.<\/p>\n

\u201cThe irresistible formulation, which can remain attractive over an extended period, is designed to ensure foraging ants are unable to detect the powerful insecticide active. The high palatability results in rapid uptake and transfer back to the nest, to feed the entire colony through the communal food sharing behaviour of trophallaxis. Coupled with the trusted Goliath \u2018Transfer effect\u2019 characteristics, this leads to unsurpassed colony control,\u201d said Dr Elmouttie.<\/p>\n

Mr Paterson was very pleased with\u00a0the feedback from the attendees. \u201cOne sentiment that seemed a common theme, was that pest managers were pleased to see BASF delivering the innovation we had been talking about \u2013 \u2018It\u2019s what we expect from BASF\u2019.<\/p>\n

\u201cWe would like to thank the pest managers for their time and we can promise a lot more to come in 2016.\u201d<\/p>\n

Termidor Foam, Termidor Dry and Goliath liquid ant bait are the newest innovations in a long line of products brought to Australia by BASF.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
