Termite Control Service
The most common species of termites in Hong Kong are called Formosan subterranean termite (Coptotermes formosanus), Odontotermes formosanus, Dry wood termite etc
Never spray any insecticides when you find termites
When you find traces of termites, you should find a professional pest control company immediately.
Remember not to use insecticides to kill termites. When you spray with insecticide, the termites on the surface will die on the spot, but not the whole termite colony, termite will flee and disperse. Due to the barrier of the insecticide, some termites will not return to the main colony. The inhibitory pheromone produced by the queen which prevents development of female secondary reproductive will be disrupt and production of the blocking pheromone stops,that's why some secondary reproductive may be produced. These reproductive create satellite nests near the colony and begin laying eggs.
Originally, there was only one termite nest in your house. After spraying insecticide, a few months later, the number of termites in your house will increase into two or more nests.
This will accelerate the erosion of your house structure & household items by termites. Spraying insecticide will not help you, but will bring you even greater losses.
EXTERRA Termite Colony Elimination System by Ensystex Australia
Only top 10 pest control companies in Hong Kong are licensed to use this product
The unique formulation of the Requiem is highly palatable to termites and they readily consume the Requiem in preference to timber. The workers termite take "Requiem" bait and bring them back to the nest to feed the other members including soldier termites and queen. The active ingredient in REQUIEM is a Chitin Synthesis Inhibitor that works by inhibiting the termite body’s ability to synthesise the compound chitin, a key component of a termite’s exoskeleton (outer skeleton). Without chitin termites cannot complete their natural molting process. If they do not molt they die. The termite colony’s consumption of REQUIEM results in the elimination of the colony. This system has been adopted by many advanced countries, and its reliability has been affirmed by many experts. REQUIEM is also non-toxic to you and your pets. In terms of children and pets, the Requiem is 100% environment-friendly. There are no toxic ingredients, so you don’t have to worry about dealing with any poisonous or toxic formulas. The external casing of the stations are also locked and tamper-proof. As for the duration of the colony elimination, it depends on the temperature and humidity or age, size and number of termite in the nest. Generally, the elimination period may at least three months.
Termiticide Barrier (control and Prevention Treatment)
Traditional method, cost effective
We all want to ensure our homes are safe from the ravages of destructive termite. But we also want to do it in an environmentally responsible and safe manner.
Prothor termiticide is very safe for your family and pets. This is because the active ingredient in it acts specifically against insects while having low toxicity against mammals.
When termites come into contact with prothor termiticide , its act on termites central nervous system and blocked it, causing them to paralyze and stop eating. On the other hand, "mites" parasitic fungi will attack the head and body of termites and suck the body fluid of termites. They are natural enemies of termites. Termites will stop cleaning their bodies due to the effects of the termiticide and unable to be removed fungus regularly too, resulting in the termites death. These fungi breed more fungal spores on the termite carcass, and then cross-infect more termite members.
Architectural Services Department (ASD) Termite Projects
Our termite projects for ASD include:-
Hong Kong government civil servant quarters, police stations, prisons, hospitals, fire stations, courts and more.
We use Australian Termatrac T3i termite detection
Observe the condition of termites, positively evaluate and suggest appropriate prevention and control plans
Termatrac T3i is an advanced termite detection device. It helps in detecting and confirming the presence of termites by using radar technology along with thermal and moisture sensors.
The device has revolutionized the way professional termite detection is carried out by combing three critical technologies which efficiently detect, locate and confirm the presence of termites.
Termatrac T3i is designed to detect termites in a non-destructive and non-disturbing manner. Termatrac T3i Device will detect movement activity through materials such as brick, wood stucco, concrete blocks, ceramics tiles, marble, terracotta tiles, mica, plastic veneer, vinyl and many other common building materials.
