Termites destroy farms fast. They eat roots, stems, and wooden structures. Crops wilt. Trees fall. Yields drop. In Kenya, termites attack maize, sugarcane, coffee, tea, bananas, and timber plantations every year. Farmers lose millions of shillings. Quick action saves the farm.
PestPro Fumigators specializes in farm termite control across Nairobi, Kiambu, Machakos, Kajiado, Nakuru, and other counties. We use proven, safe methods to kill termites at the source and stop new colonies.
Why termites are a big threat on Kenyan farms Subterranean termites live underground. They build mud tubes up stems and trunks. You see soil lines on plants or posts. Drywood termites attack dead wood but spread to living trees. Dampwood types prefer wet areas. All types chew cellulose. They weaken plant support. Roots rot. Plants die slowly. Stored grains and farm sheds suffer too.
Signs of termite infestation
- Mud tubes on stems, trunks, or fence posts
- Hollow-sounding wood when tapped
- Wilting crops with no clear disease
- Swarms of winged termites (alates) near soil after rain
- Piles of frass (termite droppings) like sawdust
- Dead patches in fields
- Trees leaning or snapping easily
Ignore these signs and losses grow. One colony can spread to many acres.
How PestPro Fumigators removes termites We start with free farm inspection. Our trained technicians check soil, plants, structures, and storage areas. We identify termite species and colony size. Then we give a clear plan and quote.
Main treatment methods we use:
- Soil barrier treatment We apply non-repellent termiticides (fipronil or imidacloprid based) around plant bases and field perimeters. Termites cross treated soil, carry poison back to the colony, and kill the queen and workers. Effect lasts 5–10 years.
- Baiting system We place termite baits with slow-acting poison in stations around the farm. Foraging termites find bait, eat it, share with nest mates. Whole colony dies in weeks. Ideal for large fields and organic-leaning farms.
- Fumigation for severe cases For heavy infestations in stores, timber, or wooden farm buildings, we use fumigation with Vikane gas or similar. Tents cover structures. Gas penetrates deep and kills everything inside. Safe for crops when done correctly. We follow strict safety rules.
- Wood treatment We inject or spray infested posts, poles, and sheds with borate-based products. Kills termites inside and prevents new attacks.
- Cultural and preventive steps We advise:
- Remove old stumps and debris
- Improve drainage to reduce moisture
- Use termite-resistant crop varieties
- Keep soil away from plant stems
- Monitor fields regularly
All our products are approved by PCPB (Pest Control Products Board). We wear PPE. We protect bees, birds, and farm workers.

Real farmer results A Kiambu coffee farmer had termites killing young trees. After soil treatment and baiting, new damage stopped. Yield rose 40% next season. A Machakos maize grower saved his entire crop after early bait placement. Nakuru sugarcane farm cut losses by 90% with perimeter barriers.
Cost vs benefit Treatment costs far less than replacing lost crops or replanting. One hectare of maize can lose KES 100,000+ to termites. Our service for medium farms often starts below KES 50,000 with long protection.
