The termites are a group of eusocial insects and along with ants and some bees and wasps termites divide labor among gender lines, produce overlapping generations and take care of young collectively. Termites mostly feed on dead plant material, generally in the form of wood, leaf litter, soil, or animal dung, and about 10% of the estimated 4,000 species are economically significant as pests that cause serious structural damage to buildings, crops or plantation forests. Termites are generally grouped according to their feeding behavior and the commonly used groupings are subterranean, soil-feeding, dry wood, damp wood, and grass-eating. Of these, subterranean and dry woods are primarily responsible for damage to human-made structure. They harm all type of wood but softer woods that broken down more easily and digested. Mostly insist of harder wood like Teak Wood but always keep in mind that there is no definite "anti-termite wood" and their is almost six types but only two which do damage to tree stumps, wood piles, houses.

Another treatment method is to apply a dust into the gallery using Borid Turbo or Timbor and injecting the gallery with Jecta after one of these initial treatment methods will completely eliminate the colony and protect the surrounding wood for years to come. After treatment of the existing gallery, application of Bora-Care, Jecta or Impel Rods will prevent further infestation for the life of the home. Treating as many wood members with Timbor or Bora-Care, especially in critical areas will ensure that there is no future infestation of dry wood termites.
