Recruit™ III AG is a powerful tool for targeting termite colonies manifesting themselves at above-ground foraging sites. An integral part of the Sentricon® Termite Colony Elimination System, Recruit III AG can easily be applied under a variety of conditions to foraging subterranean termite colonies to provide elimination where in-ground baiting is not possible. During 2002-2003 under an experimental use permit Recruit III AG, containing 0.5% noviflumuron bait, was demonstrated to effectively protect structures and promptly eliminate Rhinotermitid colonies across the US when applied as a stand-alone treatment in the absence of other control measures. The use of Recruit III AG, in conjunction with Recruit III applied to in-ground stations, will provide the Authorized Operator with more opportunities to introduce noviflumuron to subterranean termite colonies, resulting in faster elimination, more robust structural protection, and greater homeowner satisfaction.
