Microbial analysis of termite pellets offers a new method to determine the age of infestations, enabling more accurate and timely assessments for pest management in homes.
Termite pellet microbes provide timeline for home infestation detection
Termite pellets can linger long after the insects that dropped them have disappeared. By testing for microbes in the excrement, researchers can distinguish old droppings from fresh, and whether a colony is actively chewing its way through a home.
