About the Institute

Dealing with termites is tough enough. It shouldn't be hard to learn about them.

Welcome to the Termite Institute. Americans spend more than $5 billion every year treating for termites and repairing termite damage. What's more, homeowner's insurance doesn't cover a dime of termite damage repair, which means consumers can find themselves losing their house - and their savings - to a problem that can be fixed quickly or avoided completely by working with a licensed pest control professional.

Developed by the experts at Termidor® termiticide/insecticide, America's #1 termite defense product, and reviewed by a prestigious board of experts from diverse backgrounds, the Termite Institute provides clear, unbiased educational information about termites and the best ways to prevent them from damaging your home.

An informed consumer is more likely to make smart choices about the best way to protect their home or structure from these damaging insects. Don't learn about termites the hard way - click through this site to browse the resources available to you at the Termite Institute - from biology, to identification, to control and prevention - before meeting with a pest control professional.
