Termites, commonly known as white ants, are destructive pests that thrive in various environments. In India, they are primarily categorized into three main types: Drywood Termites, Subterranean Termites, and Formosan Termites.

• Drywood Termites infest dry, untreated wood and do not require contact with soil to survive. They are often found in furniture, wooden structures, and doors.
• Subterranean Termites are the most widespread and destructive, living in underground colonies and building mud tubes to access above-ground food sources like wooden foundations and walls.
• Formosan Termites are an aggressive species known for their large colonies and rapid wood consumption. They build nests both in the soil and within wooden structures, making them highly difficult to control.

Each type poses significant risks to homes and buildings, making early detection and treatment crucial.
