Publication number: 20220240502Abstract: Composite materials that are palatable to a wood-destroying pest species and also pesticidal to the pest species can be used in pest control devices and can be used as wood substitutes for structural components, which are resistant to destruction by wood-destroying pests. The composite materials include a thermoplastic polymer, a food material for the pest and a pesticide. The composite material is formed by mixing a thermoplastic polymer, wood fragments or other cellulosic materials and a quantity of pesticide, and thereafter creating a molten material within a mixer, compounder, extruder or the like. The molten material is extruded or molded to form the desired shape.Type: ApplicationFiled: April 15, 2022Publication date: August 4, 2022Inventors: Robert L. HILL, James E. KING, Joseph J. DeMARK, Anton ARNOLDY, Mike P. TOLLEY, Donald E. WILLIAMS, III, Joseph E. EGER, Jr.

Publication number: 20080224827Abstract: A pest control system (20) includes pest control devices (110) installed about an area or building (22). These devices (110) each include a bait member and a communication circuit. The communication circuit may be in the form of a passive RF tag that transmits information indicative of bait status and an identifier unique to each pest control device (110). A hand held interrogator (30) is provided to locate and communicate with the pest control devices (110) via the communication circuit. A data collection unit (40) to accumulate data gathered from the pest control devices (110) may alternatively or additionally be utilized. The bait member may be configured with a magnetic component to provide a magnetic signature indicative of the bait consumption behavior of targeted varieties of pest. The devices optionally include one or more environmental sensors to evaluate and predict pest behavior.Type: ApplicationFiled: March 11, 2008Publication date: September 18, 2008Inventors: Daniel Barber, James King, Sterett Robertson, Scott Ray, Malcolm Warren, Anton Arnoldy, Mick A. Trompen, Stanley M. Gorgacz, Dennis Wujek

Patent number: 6079151Abstract: Methods and apparatus for monitoring or controlling pests typically in an above-ground setting are provided, particularly those harmful social insects which live in colonies and communicate through chemical signals, such as termites. Included are a pest-edible matrix, a plurality of interchangeable housings, each defining an interior chamber capable of holding the matrix, means for removably connecting each of the housings to at least one other of the housings whereby the interior chambers are disposed in communication with each other through orifices defined in the housings, means for mounting at least one of the housings to a mounting surface proximate to the pests, whereby the housings may be detached from each other, rearranged, eliminated, supplemented, and reattached while the matrices are provided within an environment that has relatively restricted air movement and controlled moisture evaporation.Type: GrantFiled: May 10, 1999Date of Patent: June 27, 2000Assignee: Dow AgroSciences LLCInventors: Michael J. Bishoff, Thomas F. Linnen, Jr., Dennis G. Wujek, Anton Arnoldy

Patent number: 5406744Abstract: A bait station comprises a base having first and second side walls connected together along a corner and extending preferably at about a 90.degree. angle to one another, and a cover secured to the side walls to form a triangular unit. A pair of mutually-facing, C-shaped projections extend into the interior chamber of the bait station from the corner between the side walls at an angle of 45.degree. to each side wall. (In one embodiment, top projections extend downwardly from the cover adjacent the base projections.) A bait material is positioned in the station between the C-shaped base projections. The bait station is advantageously positioned on a surface adjacent a wall, and insects and the like crawling along the wall are directed into the station and to the bait. The design of the bait station makes it useful with either of the side walls placed as the bottom of the unit.Type: GrantFiled: February 7, 1994Date of Patent: April 18, 1995Assignee: DowElancoInventors: Brian M.
