Aranda Country Club Singapore is a resort wooden house complex. In April 2024, a house showed signs of wood damage. The club management team found that some areas of the wooden beams and floors began to soften, there were slight cracks on the surface, and traces of mud lines appeared in some corners. This indicated that termites might be active. To solve this problem, the club contacted GreenPest, a local pest control company, hoping to find a safe and effective way to solve the termite problem. After applying Pestman Termite Bait, the termite colony had been successfully eradicated.

In Southeast Asia area (Thailand, Malaysia, Singapore, Cambodia, Vietnam, Indonesia, and the Philippines), termites have evolved from traditional building pests to "invisible killers" that threaten urban tree ecosystems. Tree termite control is compulsory course for every pest control company. Tree termite control requires the combination of ecological knowledge and termite control skills. Through scientific monitoring, prevention & control, and long-term management, pest control companies can increase the survival rate of trees by more than 80%, becoming a key force in urban tree protection. How to identify the type of termites that cause damage based on the exposed characteristics of termite damage is the key to effectively solving the problem of termite damage. In this article, we will teach you some techniques for recognizing termite signals in trees and introduce some advanced termite control products.

Indoor termites cause serious damage to wooden buildings, especially in Southeast Asia, where termite activities are frequent and widespread. They eat the wood in the building, gradually weakening the structure of the building, which may cause damage to the load-bearing part of the house. Termites are highly adaptable and have strong reproductive capabilities, particularly in warm and humid environments, where they can multiply rapidly in a short period. Termite damage is not limited to buildings; it can also affect indoor furniture, paper, and other materials.

For pest control operators, mastering indoor live termite detection skills is not just a reflection of professional ability but also a key to business survival. In situations where advanced equipment such as thermal imaging cameras or acoustic detectors exceeds the budget, experience-driven precision in termite detection becomes particularly important. This article will teach you some indoor live termite detection skills.

Tangong Villa, located in Shanghai, is an old residential area covering more than 47,384.6 square meters. Constructed between 2004 and 2005, this upscale villa complex features low-rise residences and row villas, with paved concrete surfaces providing natural barriers that reduce the risk of termite propagation. Due to these conditions, no significant termite issues were reported in the years following its construction.

However, in June 2024, a homeowner in Villa No. 23 reported termite swarms within their property. Upon inspection, the termites were identified as Coptotermes formosanus (Formosan subterranean termite). The house had been vacant for some time, which allowed the termite colony to grow undisturbed, resulting in extensive activity. Key findings included visible mud tubes and wood damage in specific locations.

Termites cause extensive damage to buildings each year, often requiring costly repairs. However, finding evidence of termites is not an immediate cause for alarm. It typically takes several years of termite feeding for a building to become structurally weakened. In this article, we will share with you various professional termite treatment methods.

This study aimed to investigate the effectiveness of the Pestman in-ground bait station in controlling Coptotermes formosanus. The results showed that the monitoring wood pieces of the Pestman in-ground bait station had good termite-attracting ability when the average daily temperature was above 19 °C. The underground plastic bait stations were designed to ensure continuous feeding by the termites. Hexaflumuron, the insecticide in the bait stations, exhibited strong killing activity against C. formosanus. The colony in the artificial fir and camphor mixed forest at Taolin Hotel in Changde City was successfully eliminated with a total consumption of 150 g of hexaflumuron.

This study, conducted by Pestman's technical staff, examines the effectiveness of a 10% hexaflumuron bait for eliminating colonies of Coptotermes formosanus (Formosan subterranean termites). Field trials were designed to determine the optimal dosage and treatment duration to eradicate termite colonies infesting trees. Results showed that the bait achieved complete colony elimination within 28–42 days with dosages ranging from 100 to 200 grams per colony. The findings highlight the potential of this bait to serve as an efficient method for termite control in shorter periods compared to traditional baits.

This study evaluates the effectiveness of the Pestman In-ground Termite Bait station in controlling subterranean termites (Reticulitermes). The experiment was conducted across different seasons by installing bait stations at sites with termite activity, followed by regular maintenance and monitoring of bait consumption and termite mortality. Among 229 valid cases, 207 stations successfully attracted termites, while 19 stations showed signs of recurring termite activity after initial colony elimination. The findings suggest that Pestman In-ground Termite Bait station effectively controls termite infestations, though its long-term efficacy and thoroughness need further observation.
