One year after Operation Kadivuka – the bio-security operation to contain and eradicate the Asian Subterranean termite
infestation in Fiji – was launched it has progressed well. To date, more than 600 homes and 19 schools have been
rehabilitated by bio-security officers under this programme; bringing relief to the many families and children who were
victimised. The number of new cases of termite infestation has also significantly reduced compared to those discovered in
2010. The public can help control termites by not removing termite infested materials from infested areas to other areas and
being proactive and preventing their properties from termites.
