Mohammed Zakariah, the executive director of Flick Hygiene, emphasized the importance of implementing a termite management program for homes affected by termite infestations. He pointed out that while there is an initial cost involved, it ultimately proves to be far more cost-effective than allowing the infestation to continue, which would result in extensive repairs needed for the property.

Zakariah stated, “This ongoing issue can be effectively managed, and a termite management program serves to protect your home, helping you avoid significant expenses down the line.” He also highlighted the sensitivity of termites, noting that they will quickly relocate their feeding sites if disturbed. This necessitates careful handling during the installation of bait, which requires gloves and specific types of water, rather than regular tap water, to avoid disrupting the termites.

Furthermore, David Chand, director of administration at Flick Hygiene, mentioned that the cost of the Exterminex bait is comparatively low, making it accessible to anyone earning above minimum wage. Currently, they have received a list of 1,000 houses from Bio Security to assist, and have already installed the bait systems in over 200 homes in Lautoka. They plan to check the effectiveness of the baiting system after two weeks.

This proactive approach to termite management offers not only immediate protection for homeowners but also instills hope that ongoing efforts will lead to a more sustainable solution for safeguarding living spaces from destructive pests. With affordable options now available, many homeowners can invest in preventative measures that will ultimately save them money and preserve the integrity of their homes.

In summary, the management of termites through systematic programs is reinforcing community resilience against pest damage while providing financial relief to homeowners, showcasing a commitment to both public health and home protection.
