Termite infestation is an ever-present pest problem in Singapore and can cause very extensive damage to buildings and may endanger the life of occupants within. Terminator Tube is the world's first non-chemical and non-toxic professional termite monitoring and attractant baiting system. It can create a full property barrier defence system against termite infestation. Specially designed for water injection, the Terminator Tube is suitable for tropical and arid climates.

In some regions, notably arid tropical savannas, termites construct extremely large and elaborate mounds which house their colonies. These mounds can have very distinctive forms, such as those of the compass termite (Amitermes meridionalis & A. laurensis) which build tall wedge-shaped mounds with the long axis oriented approximately north-south. This orientation has been experimentally shown to help in thermoregulation. The column of hot air rising in the above ground mounds helps drive air circulation currents inside the subterranean network. Some mounds can reach heights of 6 metres, but most species build mounds of less than two metres height. The structure of these mounds can be quite complex. The temperature control is essential for those species that cultivate fungal gardens and even for those that don't, much effort and energy is spent maintaining the brood within a narrow temperature range, often only plus or minus one degree C over a day.
