Thermal Imaging Camera Benefits You: Termite Detection and Prevention

In Hong Kong, even if you take preventive measures, it's impossible to completely prevent pests from invading if you live in a village house or a suburban area. Termites, in particular, are very elusive and appear throughout the year, making them difficult to prevent. Both the common Odontotermes formosanus and Zootermopsis in Hong Kong require a damp environment to live in and often hatch in places where water seeps in, such as ceilings and bathtubs, and feed on decayed wood or fibrous materials.

Odontotermes formosanus are incredibly destructive and appear in large numbers, often entering homes through walls, ceilings, or floors via the soil, making them common in village houses or suburban detached houses. Zootermopsis primarily feed on damp and rotten wood, making it difficult to avoid even sturdy wooden structures. Kalotermitidae, on the other hand, do not require much moisture and can grow in dry furniture. Termites have a high reproductive ability, are incredibly destructive, and move quickly, so early prevention and control are necessary.
