Whitmire Micro-Gen Launches Advance Compressed Termite Bait II

ST. LOUIS, MO – Whitmire Micro-Gen announces the launch of Advance® Compress Termite Bait II, a larger bait load product for the Advance Termite Bait System (ATBS). Available in the spring of 2009, the new bait features a 124-gram load – 33 percent greater than in the existing Advance 93-gram bait cartridge, along with a new 4 month service interval option for monitoring stations.

Thanks to advances in manufacturing technology, Advance Compressed Termite Bait II bait cartridge has the same dimensions as the 93-gram bait product, meaning it fits in all existing ATBS stations. By optimizing the compression of the bait tablets, Whitmire Micro-Gen scientists were able to fit four bait tablets into the same size container that previously held only three.

The 124-gram bait label allows PMPs to monitor the Advance Termite Bait Stations three times per year or, if preferred, to continue the current quarterly monitoring interval. In today’s economic environment, the three visits per year schedule can save PMPs money through reductions in labor and gas costs by servicing one less time per year, all while maintaining the same effectiveness of the quarterly service frequency, according to Whitmire Micro-Gen.

“Flexibility is a key reason for the enhanced bait load,” says Dr. James Cink, termite product development manager at Whitmire Micro-Gen. “Our customers can use the label as they currently do, or utilize the tri-annual bait label, which gives both PMPs and their customers more options.”

In addition, accounts that are new post-construction customers, pre-treat customers or anyone who has bi-monthly pest control are all a good fit for the new tri-annual service label, Whitmire Micro-Gen says.

“As the economy continues to tighten in 2009, this is a great new way for ATBS users to save money and support their business moving forward,” says marketing manager Jeff Vannoy.
