BASF Offers Bulletin ‘Termidor, Termites & Flooding’

RALEIGH, N.C. – BASF announces the availability of a new technical bulletin, entitled “Termidor, Termites & Flooding.” The bulletin, available at PestControlFacts.com, addresses concerns over Termidor efficacy following torrential rains, hurricanes, tornadoes and other events that may lead to excessive flooding of structures.

Pest control professionals can download the new technical bulletin as a .PDF free of charge. The piece provides an in-depth look at situations where a Termidor re-treatment is needed, as well as recommendations for dealing with Formosan termites in the aftermath of flooding conditions.

“Events, such as torrential rains, tornadoes and hurricanes can lead to excessive flooding. We at BASF would like to express our feelings of care and concern towards those individuals who are adversely affected,” said Karl J. Kisner, senior marketing manager, BASF. “As a consequence of these events, questions regarding the efficacy of past Termidor treatments may arise. This bulletin addresses these concerns.”

BASF has donated $1 million to agencies supporting Hurricane Katrina relief and recovery efforts in the company’s site communities in Louisiana, Mississippi, Alabama, and Texas. In addition, the company established the BASF Katrina Relief Fund with the Baton Rouge Area Foundation to accept employee and retiree contributions to aid those affected by Hurricane Katrina, primarily in Ascension Parish, where BASF’s Geismar, LA, site is located.
