Description:
I reside in Nairobi, Kenya.

We have planted approximately 4000 Eucalyptus trees since 2005. Of this about 3000 are still growing. The major obstacle is termites attack.

We used to apply commercial termiticide (bought from agro chemist) up to 2008. In the year 2008 we applied a termiticide solution we prepared (fermented) from a local available shrub (only water added to the shrub to form the termiticide solution). This have worked and can confidently ascertain this has curbed this menace. In fact we are embarking on applying this solution at the start of 2011 and every once a year (the last time we applied the solution was in 2008) . It works not only on eucalyptus but also on fruit trees like mangos, oranges and on timber.

Am writing to enquire for a partner we research and patent this termiticide solution.

Am an Engineer by profession and have worked previously as a contractor on a pharmaceutical manufacturing plant.
