Case: The successful eradication of the Termite colony in the wooden houses of Aranda Country Club in Singapore

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.

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.

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.
