Lesson 14 : Anti termite treatment

Introduction

Termites are insects that consume wood and all other materials that contain cellulose. Some structures are more prone to termite attacks in every house. Termite damage is a common problem seen in every house. They usually attack wood or where cellulose material is used at home. They in turn weaken the wood and destroy the furniture which costs too much. The most common termites in India are the so-called subterranean termites. Termites need cellulose to survive and ones belongings like wood (your furniture, boxes or even wooden flooring, doors and window frames) and paper are majorly at risk. Termites actually live hundreds of feet below the ground (right near the foundation of your house or building). Termite infestation is not in numbers of tens or hundreds. There are huge colonies in thousands that one has to deal with. They spread their wings in no time eating into every corner of your home or office. If neglected you might just not have anything left in a few months time.
