Target Specialty Products, BASF Partner for Next Business Growth Webinar

Target Specialty Products and Dr. Bob Davis, Technical Services Representative, BASF will present on May 26, from 10:30 am - 11:30 am PST / 1:30 PM - 2:30 pm EST.

Davis will discuss details on how to use the product labels and the structure in question to calculate how much material is required to provide a standard termite control service. The first section goes over a termiticide label and the directions provided. These include proper loading and mixing rates, personal protective equipment, container disposal, finished dilution volume application rates, and calibration and application techniques. Differences between preconstruction, post construction and post construction exterior perimeter / localized interior (EP/LI) treatments are discussed. Proper construction of structural diagrams, site measurements, etc. are covered. Bait station installation and maintenance is discussed regarding termite baiting systems. The second section uses the labels and above information to go through sets of structural diagrams to calculate amount of finished dilution required for either a full conventional treatment or an EP/LI treatment. Diagrams for monolithic, floating and supported slabs, crawl spaces, and basements are provided. Methods to perform the calculations are discussed. Continuing Education Credits will be offered for this webinar. 

Davis is a technical services representative for BASF Professional & Specialty Solutions. His career has included various positions, including fisheries biologist, serving as the technical director for ABC Pest & Lawn Services of Austin, TX, and as a technical field representative for Aventis and Bayer Environmental Sciences. Bob received his undergraduate, master’s and Ph.D. from the University of Nebraska (UNL), where his graduate work focused on testing and evaluating termite control materials and techniques.
