BASF Announces Third Annual Termidor All-Star Technician Program

RESEARCH TRIANGLE PARK, N.C. – Beginning today, BASF will accept nominations for the 2008 Termidor® termiticide/insecticide All-Star Technician program. This marks the third year for the program, honoring the country’s finest termite technicians with an awards ceremony and all-expense-paid trip to the 2008 Dickies 500 stock car race.

 

“The All-Star program celebrates the dedication, skill and expertise of the nation’s top termite technicians,” said Timothy Knight, business manager for the Professional Pest Control group at BASF. “Technicians are the very foundation of our industry, representing their individual companies and the profession as a whole to millions of consumers every single day by ensuring proper and judicious use of termite and general pest control products. BASF created the Termidor All-Star Technician Program to reward the most deserving individuals, and we look forward to meeting the pros in Fort Worth.”

 

In November, BASF will take 16 winners to Fort Worth, Texas, where they will be honored by BASF, participate in educational speaker sessions, and watch the 2008 Dickies 500 stock car race from a VIP track-side suite. The trip includes round-trip airfare and two-night hotel stay in Fort Worth, suite accommodations at the Texas Motor Speedway, a special awards banquet, and motivational guest speakers. Technicians will also be featured online and in Termidor marketing efforts throughout the year.
