Termites are divided into subterranean termites, dry wood termites, damp wood termites, conehead termites, desert termites and others. Termite control at the right time and place will help you save thousands of rupees in saving your furniture and walls later. That's why Termite control services exist around the country, and some at very competitive rates too.

Termite pest control is further divided into chemical control, physical and mechanical control, biological control and others like radiation and environmental control. Now like most other industries, the home termite control business also needs innovation and research to survive. That's why there are continuous changes happening around us and we're here to discuss some of those latest trends in termite control in India...

5 latest trends in termite control

1) Increase in termite control research: The reduced availability of chlorinated cyclodiene insecticides for termite control led to an increased interest in termite control research. Pest control companies understood termites ...
... and can now effectively control them. This research also included research on biology and behaviour of the termites. This has led to better services being provided to customers and ultimately, more effective termite control services.

2) Bigger focus on dry wood termites: This species of termites usually makes their entire colony within a single piece of wood and priority is now being given to detecting this species of termites first. They are difficult to spot because the only identification is small sand-like pellets which they push out of the wood while clearing out their tunnels or galleries. Pest control companies have found ways to better identify these termites to avoid extensive damage to furniture.

3) Preservation of furniture: Pest control companies realize that while they exterminate the pests, homeowners still have to pay heavy fines for furniture repairing. Now, they have special chemicals that will preserve this furniture and walls, door and window frames, etc. It is estimated that around $5 billion is being spent each year in damages caused from termites and this trend will significantly reduce that number!

4) The need for termite control keeps growing: As per some studies on the internet, the worldwide termite control industry is set to grow at a compounded annual growth rate of more than 6% over the next ten years. This count means it will approximately reach the $7.4-billion mark by the year 2025. All this is due to heavy industrialization and urbanization across the globe, and more so in India.

5) Drill-Fill-Seal technique: After using termite baits and microbial termiticides and many other methods over the decades, the Drill-Fill-Seal technique of termite pest control seems to be a very successful one at the moment. Indian home termite control leader HiCare uses this method and their termite control package has become a bestseller on their website.

The method creates a chemical barrier which causes termites to die while in movement. The HiCare technicians drill holes in the walls and furniture at 45° angles, at exactly 1-foot distance between each hole. These holes are then filled with TERMIN-8 solution and sealed with chalk & white cement. This kills existing termites and doesn't allow the entry of new ones either.

If you are a resident of India and are facing such termite issues, you should also consider picking up a paid termite control service from HiCare. They offer this package along with a 10% discount if you can pay online while all their termite control packages come with warranties, depending on the package selected.
