Problems solved by technology

In some cases, liquid insecticides may be carried away from their application site by rain or other surface water, creating potential environmental problems and shortening the pest control period
Additionally, widespread application of liquid insecticides may also lack the necessary concentration or targeting needed to achieve effective pest control

Embodiment I

[0071] test, determine Effects of HD Form Extruded Composite Member Fields on Coptotermes spp. Further details are available from US Patent No. 12 / 004,655. More specifically, a 100-hectare oil palm plot was divided into four quadrants: quadrants A, B, C, and D. The presence of termite activity or infestation in the oil palm trees in each of the quadrants A-D was studied, and affected trees were marked accordingly. The affected trees in quadrants A and C were each treated with liquid fipronil (2.5ml / 5L soaked), and the affected trees in quadrants B and D were each treated with 50g The extruded composite member in the form of HD (0.5% hexaflumuron) was treated in a similar manner as described above with respect to system 60 . For quadrants B and D, consumption of extruded composite members was studied and recorded accordingly. Post-treatment inspections were performed monthly for 23 months after initiation of treatment on affected trees. Table 1 below shows the treatment re...

Embodiment II

[0077] test, determine Effects of HD Form Extruded Composite Member Fields on Coptotermes spp. Further details are available from US Patent No. 12 / 004,655. More specifically, a 60-hectare oil palm plot was divided into two. The activity or infestation of termites present in the oil palm trees in each plot was studied, and affected trees were marked accordingly. Each affected tree in plot 1 was treated with liquid fipronil (soaked in 2.0ml / 5L), and each affected tree in plot 2 was treated with 50g The extruded composite member in the form of HD (0.5% hexaflumuron) was treated in a similar manner as described above with respect to system 60 . For plots 1 and 2, consumption of extruded composite members was studied and recorded accordingly. Post-treatment inspections were performed monthly for 24 months after initiation of treatment on affected trees. Table 2 below shows the treatment results at 7, 12, 18 and 24 months after initiation of treatment. Table 3 below shows the...

Embodiment III

[0083] test, determine Effects of HD Form Extruded Composite Member Fields on Coptotermes spp. Further details are available from US Patent No. 12 / 004,655. More specifically, the 1255.70 ha oil palm plot was divided into 18 blocks ranging from 15.97 ha to 58.70 ha. The activity or infestation of termites present in the oil palm trees within each block 1-18 was studied, and affected trees were marked accordingly. Apply 30g each to the affected trees The extruded composite member in the form of HD (0.5% hexaflumuron) was treated in a similar manner as described above with respect to system 60 . The consumption of extruded composite components was studied and documented accordingly. Every two months, pre-processing surveys, processing, and post-processing surveys are conducted on blocks. After baiting, survey, bait, and survey again. Table 4 below shows the cumulative results of each survey conducted.

Abstract

Systems and methods for controlling and/or preventing infestation of a woody plant by one or more species of pests are provided. In one particular but non-limiting form, a composite member is positioned at a locus near a woody plant that is susceptible to damage by one or more wood-destroying pest species such as termites. The composite member includes a pesticide and a bait material palatable to the one or more wood-destroying pest species. In one aspect, the composite member includes an extruded mixture of the pesticide and bait material. Further embodiments, forms, features, and aspects shall become apparent from the description and drawings.

Description

[0001] Cross References to Related Applications [0002] This application claims the benefit of US Provisional Patent Application Serial No. 61 / 775,858, filed March 11, 2013, the entire disclosure of which is expressly incorporated herein by reference. technical background [0003] Protecting wooden structures from damage caused by pests has been an area of ​​particular interest for many years, and removing pests from areas occupied by humans, livestock and crops has become a challenge. Pests of frequent concern include various insects and rodents. Termites, including soil-dwelling termites, are a particularly troublesome species of pest, with the potential to cause serious damage to woody structures and woody plants, such as trees or shrubs, among others. Various schemes have been proposed to eliminate termites and certain other harmful pests of both insect and non-insect species. In one approach, pest control relies on the widespread application of liquid insecticides to t...
