When we think about termites we usually imagine damaged furniture at home. But in reality industrial areas are at an even more risk of termite infestation than homes.
Why industrial areas attract termites?
1) Wooden pallets and cartons : Industries often store goods on wooden pallets or in cardboard packaging which are easy food sources of termites.
2) Multiple entry points : Cracks, expansion joints and underground pipelines gives termites an easy entry inside warehouses, factories, etc.
3) Moisture from machinery and leaks: Factories often deal with water leaks, damp basements etc., creating ideal termite breeding grounds.
4) Less frequent inspection: Unlike homes, industries do not get regular pest inspectiond allowing colonies to grow without being noticed.
Risks of termite infestation:
1) Structural damage: Weaking of walls, beams and flooring can compromise safety.
2) Damage to stored goods: Wooden cartes, paper files, packaging and furniture are always at high risk.
3) Financial loss: Constant repairing and replacement costs can run into lakhs of rupees.
Signs of termite infestation
