Termites are an ancient order of insects whose origins date back more than 100 million years to the Cretaceous period. Although they are commonly called ‘white ants’, the resemblance to ants is superficial and they are more closely related to cockroaches and in fact have been recently included into the cockroach order Blattodea.

Termites can be grouped into three basic categories: damp wood, dry wood and subterranean. Damp wood termites generally live in damp rotting logs or rot pockets in dead or living trees. Dry wood termites obtain water from the wood in which they live and have no contact with the soil, subterranean termites are generally ground dwelling or require contact with the soil or some constant source of moisture and are the main threat posed to timber in our buildings. (timber-in-service).

Termites play a prominent part in the recycling of plant nutrients through the disintegration and decomposition of dead wood and plant debris. Their excavations alter the structure of trees and provide spaces, which have become a necessary part of the habitat of many vertebrate species including bats, birds, reptiles and arboreal mammals. Many species of termite feed on materials such as grass. Only handfuls are of economic importance to timber-in-service.

Termites are also one of the most destructive pests in India. They cause millions of rupees damage to homes and structures. According to CSIRO 1 in 3 homes will be affected by termites within the economic life of the structure. Too often, the presence of these home invaders goes undetected until damage is discovered by chance. This damage isn’t covered by most insurance companies
