Apart from often damaging household furniture, termites are also known as one of the causes of losses in a number of businesses. However, due to their very small size, it is difficult to exterminate termites on your own. To overcome this, **termite extermination services** are needed so that these animals can be exterminated in a safe way. The Association of Indonesian Pest Control Companies (ASPPHAMI) has recorded termite-induced losses in Indonesia estimated to have reached Rp2.8 trillion. Business locations experiencing the problem, based on ASPPHAMI reports, are spread from office buildings, plantation land, to forestry areas. Not only does it affect economic conditions, the pest attack makes employees less comfortable during their activities in the office. Although the growth of professional termite extermination services continues to increase, public awareness of the dangers of termites is still relatively low. The danger caused by termite attacks is already at an alarming level. If public awareness does not rise, the losses triggered by termites have the potential to increase. People still think that replacing wood, which is known as the favorite material of termites, with materials such as iron or metal is the fastest solution to resist the attack of these pests. In fact, this step does not always give good results. Especially if the materials used are not suitable for the work environment. In fact, this reality is different from the situation and conditions in countries such as Thailand, China, Japan and the west coast of America. People there are already aware of the dangers posed by pests such as termites. It can be seen from the number of prevention and control carried out as early as possible, so that losses can be minimized to the maximum. Therefore, let's prevent termites that appear in homes and businesses by utilizing **termite extermination services** in order to reduce losses and damage caused by these termites. ## Learn More - [Termites guide](https://etos.id/en/guides/termite-control/) - [Termites service](https://etos.id/en/solution/services/termite-solution/) - [Pest control pricing](https://etos.id/en/pricing/) Customer Care ## Need help?
