Termite Control

Termites are of soil inhabiting form and wood inhabiting forms, the later damaging dry and damp woods. These insects have special affinity for cellulose materials and termites are capable of reaching the source far away from their nests. The nests are either located near the same building where infestation is noticed or it could be few meters below the building or in the neighbouring grounds and worker termites travel to faraway places through perfectly formed pathways or galleries underneath the building or soil. They travel several meters to attack the wooden in buildings and transport them to their store house that is the nest or termite mound to feed the entire colony where millions of termites are produced per day. Among several species of termites

associated with building structures, Coptotermes spp., Cryptotermes spp., Heterotermes Spp-, Macrotermes spp., Microcerotermes spp., and Odontotermes spp., are economically important pests of buildings. Termites have wings at birth when they emerge out of termite mounds. Both

male and female soon after Shedding their wings, mate and start settling down in a suitable soil for developing the nest. The female start producing eggs which are then transformed into workers, soldiers and females and males and the entire colony of different termites and sex are determined by the queen secreting a hormone. The queen slowly becomes the only factory to produce only eggs and no other job. There can be one or two termite queens in a colony. Termites are social insects live in nests or mounds or termite aria of their own construction either on the surface of the soil on underground or in dry dead woods. The termite nest serves to house and protect the colony store food and maintain an optimum environment. The colony maintains a

homeostasis by the self-regulation of optimal conditions for development, maintenance and reproduction of the society. The functioning of the society is based on the self-regulated behavior of individuals and division of labor among the different castes within the society.
