Abstract
This article explores the monitoring of termite-infested areas and innovative methods for controlling them while maintaining ecological safety. The study focuses on the application of thermal imaging (thermovision) technology to detect hidden termite activity without disturbing the environment. By using thermal cameras, underground and concealed termite colonies can be accurately identified based on heat anomalies. The article also discusses non-chemical, eco-friendly approaches for termite control, such as biological agents and physical disruption techniques. These methods offer an effective and sustainable alternative to conventional pest control strategies.
