A War Against Termites: How Ridpest and Corteva are Safeguarding Desa Amal Jireh

At Desa Amal Jireh, located in Semenyih, “home” isn’t just a building, it’s a sanctuary of love for underprivileged orphans and destitute senior citizens. However, even the most loving homes face hidden threats. Since early 2024, Rachel, the home’s director, has been leading a different kind of struggle: a war against termite infestations.

The Challenge

The problem began in the cabana area and quickly spread to the main hall. For a non-profit dedicated to providing shelter, structural damage isn’t just a maintenance issue, it’s a threat to the safety and comfort of its residents.

The Solution: Ridpest and Corteva Termite Baiting

After initial interventions in 2024 and 2025, Ridpest has stepped up their support. In an exciting new collaboration, Ridpest and Corteva have joined forces to sponsor the installation of the Sentricon® Always Active™ Termite Baiting System.

Unlike traditional methods, this system provides 24/7/365 protection, ensuring that termites are stopped before they can ever reach the structures where the children and seniors live.
“We are so thankful that you’re on this journey with us together to fight this war with termites,” says Rachel, Director of Desa Amal Jireh. “We are excited to see how this system is implemented, all for one reason: to fight the termite issues and protect our home.”

The Loves for Social Responsibility

At Ridpest, we believe in giving back to the community that sustains us. By partnering with Corteva, we aren’t just applying a product, we are ensuring that the residents of Desa Amal Jireh can sleep soundly, knowing their home is secure.
