Termite treatment and control in Nairobi, Mombasa, Kiambu, Nakuru, Thika, Kikuyu, Kisumu, Eldoret and the rest of Kenya
Termites cause more damage to homes and businesses than any other pest, costing homeowners nearly 5 billion dollars in property damage each year. Ignoring termites is not an option, because without the proper termite treatment, the problem will only get worse.
Termites feed on wood 24 hours a day, meaning a termite infestation can quickly turn into a major problem. Often you don’t know you have termites until you see the damage signs, and by then it’s too late. This makes termite control essential in protecting your most valuable asset – your home.

As the local expert in termite control, we’ll work to develop a customized plan for your needs — identifying what termites are affecting your home to recommend the best treatment option for you. Once we eliminate the termite infestation, we’ll work to prevent termites from coming back.
Bestcare’s termite treatment options
Termite treatments can vary greatly depending on a variety of factors. The size of your property, where you live, the type of termite affecting your home, and the severity of the infestation all play a role in what type of treatment you will need.
After our specialists finish their inspection, they will recommend one or more of the following solutions:
- Baiting stations
- Liquid treatments
- Spot treatments
- Home fumigation
Baiting stations
Baiting stations are an unobtrusive solution that targets subterranean termites. Due to the nature of the treatment, it causes almost no inconvenience to homeowners and is environmentally-friendly. This treatment offers continual peace of mind, as the bait stations continue to prevent future termites from entering your home.
Bait stations are child and pet resistant, preventing easy access by anyone other than your Bestcare Specialist. The active ingredient in the termite bait station eliminates termites by disrupting a molting process that occurs only in insects and closely-related organisms.
How termite bait stations work:
Bait stations are installed around the perimeter of your home.
While foraging for food, termites will find the bait stations and take bait back to the colony.
Once the bait spreads, active termites are gradually eliminated.
Your specialist will periodically inspect for activity and to replace bait.
Targeted termites:
- Subterranean termite control
- Formosan termite control
- Liquid treatment control
Liquid treatment application is a proactive and curative solution that involves applying treatment to your yard and the outer foundation of your home, protecting the perimeter of your property. As termites dig through towards your house, they come in contact with the liquid treatment. When they return to their colony, they transfer the treatment to other termites, thereby eliminating them.
How liquid treatment works for Termite control :
Liquid treatment is applied to the soil along the outer foundation wall of your home.
As termites forage for food, they come into contact with treatment.
Sometimes, the treatment will kill the termites on contact.
When termites return to the colony, they spread the treatment.
Targeted termites:
- Subterranean termites
- Formosan termites
Spot treatments
Spot treatments are treatments that address localized termite concerns inside your home. Spot treatments include wood/slab applications or drilling treatments that focus on addressing specific threats to the wood structures of your house. While it is more invasive than bait stations or liquid treatment, it is less invasive than a house fumigation. Generally, this option is used for more urgent termite infestations that affect the inside of your home. Our termite specialists will perform periodic termite inspections and reinforce the protective treatment application as needed.
How spot treatment works in Termite control :
Product is applied directly into wood supports or slabs inside your home.
This option may involve drilling directly into wood to apply the product.
Termites feed on treated wood with the product and take it back to the colony.
Targeted termites:
Drywood termites
Home fumigation
Home fumigation is the most invasive termite treatment, but is the most effective – particularly for drywood termites. Home fumigations are reserved for severe termite infestations, and require residents to leave during the fumigation process.
Fumigation is a complex activity with many variables that need to be considered for it to be carried out safely. It must be completed by licensed professionals with the required knowledge, skills and experience.
How home fumigation for termite control works:
The affected property is sealed off and filled with a pesticide gas.
It is then held at a high concentration for enough time to poison or suffocate any termites.
Your technician confirms sufficient fumigation time and exposure.
The fumigation tent is vented, leaving no surface residue left behind.
Targeted termites:
Drywood termites
