Heterotermes indicola
Heterotermes indicola, is a species of subterranean termite of the genus Heterotermes. It is native to India, Pakistan and Sri Lanka. It causes damage to timber in buildings and is one of the most destructive termites in urban and agricultural areas in the world.[1] Soldiers are about 4.05-4.89mm long.[2] Extracts of garlic[3] and Calotropis procera[4] are known to have Termiticidal effects on H. indicola.
