October
2005 - NASHVILLE, Tenn. – When pest management professionals
arrive in Music City for PestWorld 2005, they will visit the
15th most termite-infested major city in the United States.
Since its inception 10 years ago, the Sentricon® [Hexaflumuron]
Termite Colony Elimination System has been installed
on more than 76,000 sites throughout the state, a number slightly
less than the entire population of Tennessee when it became
a state in 1796... At PestWorld 2005, Dow
AgroSciences is sponsoring the Saturday Opening General Session,
where attendees will have the opportunity to hear keynote speaker
Tom Ridge, former Homeland Security Advisor.
The Dow AgroSciences booth, themed “Don’t Gamble
on Termite Control,” will feature Texas Hold‘em
poker and other related activities and giveaways. Visitors
to the booth will have the opportunity to learn about Dow AgroSciences
entire portfolio of products, including Vikane® gas fumigant
and Halo™ Electronic Termite Detection.

Termites. Part 2, by Caroline
Cox
Journal of Pesticide Reform / Summer 1997.
Vol. 17, No. 2
Hexaflumuron
is the active ingredient used in the Sentricon bait system.
It inhibits the synthesis of chitin (6) the material making
up the skeleton of termites and other insects. It was first
registered in 1994 as a Òreduced-riskÓ pesticide (7). EPAÕs
reduced risk program waives tests for new pesticides that
are thought to pose fewer hazards than existing pesticides.
This means that many standard tests
are lacking for hexaflumuron: medium- term (subchronic)
toxicity testing, delayed neurotoxicity testing, and tests
for developmental or reproductive effects (6)...
In
long-term (chronic) feeding tests, hexaflumuron increased
the incidence and severity of a liver cell abnormality
(6). Hexaflumuron
is
very toxic to aquatic animals;
concentrations of 0.1 parts per billion kill water fleas
(6). It is persistent in soil,
with a half-life (the time required for breakdown of half
the amount applied) between 100 and 160 days (8).
