Patent number: 8322069Abstract: An apparatus and method for detecting and/or controlling subterranean termites. A station at least partially receivable within a cavity has at least one opening therein to provide access by the termites to an interior volume of the station. The apparatus includes an aggregation base attractive to the termites and including at least one void for forming an aggregation site. The apparatus includes a replaceable container received within the interior volume of the station and positioned adjacent the aggregation base. The container has at least one opening in a surface thereof facing the aggregation base to permit the passage of termites from the aggregation base to an interior chamber of the container. The container is sized and shaped such that the container may be removed from the station with minimal disturbance to the aggregation base, thereby preserving any aggregation site formed by the termites.Type: GrantFiled: January 26, 2006Date of Patent: December 4, 2012Assignee: BASF CorporationInventors: James H. Cink, Jonathan D. Berger

Patent number: 8225697Abstract: A tool includes a hub, at least two opposed fingers depending from the hub, and at least two opposed skirt sections configured different from the fingers. The skirt sections depend from the hub and are disposed adjacent the fingers. The opposed skirt sections have a second transverse distance between lower edges thereof that is greater than a first transverse distance between lower edges of the opposed fingers. The fingers are resiliently moveable relative to the skirt sections. Each of the fingers is circumferentially spaced from the adjacent skirt section by a gap. At least a portion of the gap is formed in the hub. The at least two fingers and the at least two skirt sections are circularly aligned such that each of the fingers and each of the skirt sections lie on a common circle.Type: GrantFiled: July 7, 2011Date of Patent: July 24, 2012Assignee: BASF CorporationInventors: James H.

Patent number: 8061238Abstract: A tool for removing a cap from a pest control device includes a hub and at least four fingers depending from the hub in circumferentially spaced relationship with each other to cooperatively define a socket for receiving the cap within the tool. The fingers are resiliently moveable transversely outward relative to the hub upon receiving the cap into the socket whereby the fingers are biased transversely inward against a sidewall of the cap when the cap is received in the socket. A plurality of stops extends from fewer than all of the fingers laterally inward of the socket. The stops are adapted for contacting a top of the cap upon receipt of the cap within the socket such that the fingers and stops cooperate to orient the tool on the cap.Type: GrantFiled: August 24, 2007Date of Patent: November 22, 2011Assignee: BASF CorporationInventors: James H. Cink, Jonathan D. Berger, Steven R. Sims, Lee M. White
