The West Indian drywood termite is the most widely and frequently introduced termite in the world. Although called West Indian, they are not native to the West Indies, but to the Pacific coastal deserts of southern Peru and northern Chile. In the United States, the West Indian drywood termite is common throughout Hawaii and Florida. In Florida, it is the most common drywood termite infesting structures. Heavy infestations also occur in coastal areas of southeastern and gulf states. For example, New Orleans, Louisiana and Galveston and Corpus Christi, Texas are major port cities where West Indian drywood termite infestations are common.

The West Indian drywood termite is introduced to new areas in infested wooden ships and goods. Compared to other drywood termite species, it is more inclined to infest smaller furniture items and is almost exclusively found in structural infestations, not outdoors in natural settings. It is sometimes called a powderpost termite because the fecal pellets tend to be small. Alates fly at night from April through June and

have medium brown bodies that are almost a half inch long. Soldiers have phragmotic heads that are used to plug gallery openings from ants.

Drywood termite colonies are not usually large. One colony may span several feet within a piece of wood. However, many colonies may infest a structure and fumigation is common in areas with drywood termites. Individual colonies may be treated locally with drill-and-treat applications. Small holes are drilled into wood to access termite galleries and insecticide is applied with a crack and crevice or foam injector. Remove any fecal pellets after treatment and follow up to observe if new pellets accumulate, especially in a cone shape. A swarm should not occur within a few years of a successful treatment.

When the most effective meets the most efficient, termite control becomes most profitable!When it comes to termites, homeowners want them gone. Termidor® termiticide/insecticide, launched almost 20 years ago, was found to be the solution pest management professionals were looking for. Call backs dropped significantly, customer satisfaction increased substantially, and business increased year over year. BASF has continued to innovate the Termidor product line, providing year after year improvements in efficiency to this phenomenal brand.

Maximizing profitability with products backed by proven efficacy, enables pest management companies to provide consumers with peace of mind and technicians with better treatment requirements. Termidor HE High-Efficiency Termiticide, launched in 2012, continues to provide an advantage over conventional termiticide solutions. With its breakthrough molecular technology, Termidor HE termiticide improves working conditions while delivering the undeniable efficacy of Termidor products.

The technology allows for:

• 50% shallower treatment depths

• 77% smaller trenches

• 33% fewer drill holes

These improvements are possible because of the molecular properties of the product which enable the water carrier to temporarily “boost” active ingredient transport into the soil. Once the product is evenly dispersed within the treatment zone, it binds tightly to the soil, providing the control Termidor termiticides are known for.

Termidor HE termiticide enables pest management professionals to provide the best protection with less disruption, water, labor and time. These improvements allow technicians to complete more jobs in a day and satisfy more customers – knowing they’ve been protected with the best.
