| Termite Situation:
Evangel Children's Home was established in Hong Kong in 1956. With
the love of Lord Jesus, Evangel Children's Home strives to care for
children from broken homes, provide houses for them, encourage them
to become healthy individuals, and educate them to take their place
as useful citizens in their communities. The living quarters for children
in Wong Tai Sin were built in 1961 and it has a long history of termite
infestation. However the problem was not solved though a pest control
company had consistently spraying the infested area by liquid termiticide.
Solution: It is very obvious that
spraying treatment did not eliminate the existing colony. Moreover
the potential hazard of termiticide to the health of children was
also under concern. Evangel Children's Home kept searching for a
long-term and safe measure to eradicate the problem. In March 2000
Dow AgroSciences Pacific and United Elite developed a plan to eliminate
the termites by using the Sentricon* Termite Colony Elimination
System. The reliability and safety of the system has appealed to
the staff of Evangel Children's Home. Following the three basic
steps: Monitoring, Baiting to Elimination, and Monitoring again,
the termite colony was eventually eliminated with just grams of
active ingredient.
Outlook: Termite activity at the
Evangel Children's Home has now ceased and the attacking colony
was eliminated. Evangel Children's Home has entered a 12-years contract
with United Elite for termite control using the Sentricon* System.
The system will continue to monitor and protect the premises so
that Evangel Children's Home will be preserved to provide a caring
and loving home for children.
