14 Alarming Connections Between Termites and Climate Change: Environmental Scientists' Growing Concerns

11.Resistance to Control Methods

Traditional termite management strategies' efficacy is being compromised by rising temperatures and shifting humidity levels. As climate change stresses termite populations to adapt, environmental scientists have noted growing resistance to chemical treatments and biological control measures. Studies reveal that some control techniques show up to 30% less efficacy under climate-changed settings, so complicating pest management plans and maybe resulting in higher use of more dangerous chemical treatments.
