How to prevent Termites – The Silent Destroyers


 

Termites, also known as "silent destroyers “, can be alarmingly destructive. In case of termites Prevention is Better Than Cure, because they stay hidden and chomp away through wood and wallpaper undetected. By the time they are visible, the damage is often beyond repair. As per a study in US, damage to property by termites is valued at a staggering $5 billion annually! And yet, loss due to termites is usually not covered by insurance.

The 2500 odd species of termites weigh more than the weight of all human beings on earth! Each colony is populated by 25000 - 60000 termites and even 1/16th of an inch of a crack is enough for termites to penetrate and make way into your premises. Bit by bit, invisibly chewing throughout the day and night, a colony can munch away 5 gms of wood a day and can destroy your property beyond repair.

Termites are resilient and some species are around for more than 250 million years. With a life spanning 25-50 years, some termite queens lay more 20-25 eggs per minute, i.e. approx. 30,000 per day leading to more than 10 million annually. Primarily, termites need shelter, food and moisture, and these are available in most constructions, hence it is very easy for termite colonies to thrive and multiply. This makes it necessary for us to proactively prevent termites from infesting our expensive premises. Preventing termites is very easy and way cheaper than repairing the damage once they sneak in and ruin beyond repair.

All you need to do, to prevent termites, is to install a good reticulation system and ensure termiticide injection at regular intervals. Many types of reticulation pipes are available in the market and some even use irrigation pipes for this. However, we strongly recommend that you do not use the wrong pipes for this purpose. Select good quality pipes specially made for Reticulation. Since these pipes are concealed and underground, it is necessary that the right quality pipes are used that last long and have the required specifications. Termipore is one such trusted brand, they have designed and developed pipes that are long lasting, cost effective and they provide all the accessories too. Termipore Pipes can be installed before, during or after construction too. Available in multiple sizes, Termipore Pipes are made of special elastomeric compound developed after intense research and trials. These pipes have micro holes across and around the pipe, the pipe walls are also of required thickness appropriate for concealed underground installation.

Remember, don’t wait, prevent termites now and save yourself from destruction and loss due to termites always!

Are Preventive Anti-Termite Reticulation Pipes made of special raw material? Is that material different from other irrigation or porous pipes?

These are very frequently asked questions! All companies may or may not use special compound to manufacture reticulation pipes. For effect...
