Termite
Overview
Termites are silent destroyers that feed on wood and structural materials. Damage often goes unnoticed until it becomes severe.
Common species:
-
Subterranean Termites (Coptotermes spp.)
-
Drywood Termites (Cryptotermes spp.)
Biology
-
Egg → Nymph → Worker / Soldier / Reproductive
-
Colonies grow steadily over time
-
Can remain hidden for long periods
Behaviour
-
Subterranean Termites: Build mud tubes to travel, require moisture, highly destructive
-
Drywood Termites: Live entirely inside wood, no soil contact needed, harder to detect
Signs of Infestation
-
Mud tubes on walls or structures
-
Hollow-sounding wood
-
Discarded wings near windows or doors
-
Visible wood damage or sagging
Where They Hide
-
Subterranean Termites: Soil, underground nests, wallstructures, foundations
-
Drywood Termites: Inside dry wood, furniture, wooden fixtures
Risk & Impact
How to Control
-
Severe structural damage to buildings
-
Costly repairs if untreated
-
Weakens wooden furniture and fixtures
-
Major concern for homes, offices, and properties
-
Early detection and inspection
-
Target colony source, not just visible damage
-
Use appropriate termite treatment methods
Recommended Solutions
-
Soil treatment for subterranean termites
-
Wood treatment / injection for drywood termites
-
Baiting systems for long-term colony control
Common Mistakes
-
Treating only visible termite spots using chemical can make them move and cause damage elsewhere
-
Ignoring early signs (mud tubes, wings)
-
Delaying treatment until damage is severe
