Termite Control Services in Kenya
Termites are silent destroyers that can cause extensive damage to homes, offices, commercial buildings, and agricultural structures in Kenya. Often called “white ants,” these wood-destroying insects feed on cellulose found in wood, paper, cardboard, and other plant-based materials. Because termites work quietly and out of sight, infestations can go unnoticed for months or even years, leading to structural damage, financial loss, and compromised safety.
At Rowland Africa, we provide professional termite control services designed to detect, eliminate, and prevent termite infestations. Our solutions are effective, safe, and tailored to your property, ensuring long-term protection.
Understanding Termites
Termites are social insects living in colonies that include workers, soldiers, and reproductive termites (kings and queens). Common termite species in Kenya include subterranean termites, drywood termites, and dampwood termites. Subterranean termites are the most destructive, building extensive underground tunnels to access food sources while remaining hidden from view.
Termites feed on cellulose-rich materials and can damage:
- Wooden structures such as beams, flooring, doors, and window frames
- Furniture and cabinets
- Cardboard, paper, and packaging materials
- Agricultural crops and stored grains
Termite infestations are often difficult to detect until significant damage has occurred, making professional inspection and treatment essential.
Causes of Termite Infestations
Termites are attracted to properties that provide moisture, shelter, and cellulose. Key causes of infestations include:
- Wooden structures in direct contact with soil
- Damp areas from leaks, poor drainage, or flooding
- Accumulated wood debris, firewood, or construction materials near buildings
- Cracks in walls, foundations, or flooring providing entry points
- Lack of termite prevention measures during construction
Early intervention helps minimize structural damage and prevents costly repairs.
Signs of Termite Infestation
Detecting termites early is critical for effective control. Signs include:
- Mud tubes on walls, foundations, or wooden structures
- Hollow-sounding wood when tapped
- Crumbling or damaged wood and furniture
- Swarmers (winged termites) inside or near windows, doors, and lights
- Frass (termite droppings) near wooden structures
- Peeling paint or blistering surfaces on walls or floors
Regular inspections can help detect infestations before they cause severe damage.
Our Termite Inspection Process
Rowland Africa begins every termite control service with a thorough inspection:
- Property Assessment – Examining homes, offices, farms, and commercial buildings
- Identification of Infestation Level – Locating active termite colonies, mud tubes, and damaged areas
- Species Determination – Identifying the type of termite to select the most effective treatment
- Structural Evaluation – Assessing the extent of damage and risk to the property
- Customized Treatment Plan – Designing a strategy based on infestation severity and client needs
Termite Treatment Methods
We use a combination of chemical, non-chemical, and preventive strategies to eliminate termites and prevent re-infestation.
Chemical Treatments
- Application of safe, approved termiticides in soil, walls, and wooden structures
- Spot treatments for localized infestations
- Baiting systems that attract and eliminate termite colonies
- Use of slow-acting chemicals to target the queen and colony effectively
Non-Chemical Treatments
- Physical removal of damaged wood and replacement with treated materials
- Heat or microwave treatments in sensitive areas
- Installation of barriers or shields to prevent termite access
- Regular monitoring for early detection of re-infestation
Preventive Measures
- Treating soil before construction to create a chemical barrier
- Using termite-resistant building materials and treated timber
- Maintaining proper drainage and reducing moisture near foundations
- Regular inspections and maintenance to identify early signs of termite activity
