What is a Termite? Understanding the Silent Threat
Termites are social insects that live in colonies, much like ants. They are often mistaken for ants, but they belong to a different order (Isoptera). These fascinating yet destructive pests primarily feed on cellulose, an organic fiber found in wood and plant matter. This makes the wooden components of your home – such as framing, flooring, and furniture – their primary food source.
There are several types of termites found in India, the most common being subterranean termites. These termites live in underground colonies and build intricate tunnel systems to reach food sources above ground. They require moisture to survive, which is why they often thrive in damp or humid environments.
Termites work silently and methodically, often consuming wood from the inside out, leaving the outer surface intact. This makes infestations difficult to detect in their early stages, allowing significant damage to occur before their presence becomes apparent. Their ability to remain hidden while causing extensive destruction is why they are often referred to as "silent destroyers." Understanding their biology and behavior is the first step in effectively combating them.
Rentokil PCI Termite Control Services
Termites, often referred to as "silent destroyers," can cause significant damage to your home or workplace by thriving discreetly in hidden areas. DIY methods, such as sprays, often fail to address termite infestations at their root, especially when dealing with large colonies. That’s why professional termite treatment from a trusted expert, such as Rentokil PCI, is essential.

Our solutions are designed to eliminate Deemak (commonly known as white ants) at their source, providing long-lasting protection for your property.

Understanding Termite Infestation
Termite infestation often goes unnoticed until significant damage has already occurred. Termites primarily feed on wood but will also damage paper, books, insulation, and even swimming pool liners. They can enter buildings through expansion joints, foundation cracks, and even tiny gaps around plumbing and electrical wiring.
Here are common signs of termite infestation:
- Mud Tubes: Pencil-sized mud tunnels on walls or foundation surfaces.
- Discarded Wings: Piles of termite wings near doors or windows, indicating a nearby colony.
- Hollow Wood: Wood that sounds hollow when tapped can be a sign of internal termite damage.
- Frass: Termite droppings (frass) look like tiny wood-colored pellets.
- If you notice any of these signs, immediate professional intervention is critical to prevent further damage. Read more here

Do termites eat treated pine?
No, they do not, but they can use treated logs and footings as a bridge into your house.
Are termites covered under home insurance?
No. Most home insurance policies do NOT cover damage done by termites. As 1 in 4 Indian homes are affected by termites in their lifetime, it pays for you to be vigilant.
