Dow to Introduce New Products, Enhancements at PestWorld 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® 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.+

“When Dow AgroSciences introduced the Sentricon System to the marketplace, we created a whole new category of termite control,” said John Kalthoff, marketing manager for the Sentricon System.  “Over the last decade, continuous enhancements and innovations to the Sentricon System have made it the No. 1 brand in termite protection – a position it has held year after year.”

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. In addition, there will be an announcement regarding the latest innovation to the Sentricon System, which will be unveiled for the first time at PestWorld 2005.
 
“With 10 years of proven colony elimination with the Sentricon System under our belts, we aren’t about to rest on past success,” Kalthoff adds.  “We continue to demonstrate our commitment to the industry with not only enhancements to the Sentricon System, but new product introductions as well.”
