Termite Poison DIY

I tried searching for termite poison for sale in local supermarkets like Giant, Tesco but was not successful. When I googled for "termite poison diy malaysia" I was surprised I could not find much info(there was one but the termite bating box costs USD29 one!). It was with the help of my brother and mother that we managed to find something called a Termite Paste in a hardware shop.


It's written on the box:

Alpha-cypermethrin 0.04%

Tetramethrin 0.80%

["Shanjia" brand killing white-ant ointment is the health insecticide of the special killing white-ant, please put the ointement a little to press inner the ant-den, or the and every ant-road in and out often while use. It is brought into the and den by the male-ant. The ant will be interncine after eating. It will be dead after several days.] - typical China product with superb English translation.

However, it's quite easy to understand. You put some poison near the termite place; the termite bring the poison back to the den; all termites there exposed to the poison; everyone dies and if lucky, whole colony eliminated!

TerNite-killer Paste, haha!

I found these termite nests on the wall of my living hall. Not sure why they built it there. It is very exposed and caught my eyes immediately. There is no use scrapping that off or spraying insecticide because the termite will rebuild them within a day(or a few hours!).

Well, time to Kill That Termite!

I put masking tape to cover them up like the previous professional who came to my house did(read my previous post). He said, "Don't touch it for one week!". That's exactly what I did this time.

Time passes really quick. Time to peel off the masking tapes. I see some dead termites here.

Very good, no re-building by the termites. So I monitor this for about a three weeks already and still no re-building, great. Either I very successfully killed them or they moved to other places. But still, what more can I do right? Just monitor vigilantly and if found again, kill them again!

Time to conceal those holes and paint back!

If you're interested to try this method and you could not find the product near you, e-mail me and I try to buy it and mail to you. Can not guarantee whether it will work for your situation but everything's worth a try. And trust me, I understand your situation, you'd just like to KILL THAT TERMITE!
