Termiticides are specifically designed to eliminate which type of pest?

Termiticides are specifically formulated to target and eliminate termites, which are a type of insect. These substances work by either killing termites on contact or acting as a repellent to prevent them from infesting structures. The effectiveness of termiticides is critical for protecting buildings, as termites can cause significant structural damage by feeding on wood and other cellulose-based materials. While other pest control products exist for different pests, such as rodenticides for rodents or herbicides for weeds, termiticides are uniquely designed for the prevention and management of termite infestations.
