The most financially damaging pest on this list — and the one you are least likely to see before the damage is done.
Subterranean species nest below ground and travel to timber through sealed mud tubes that keep them humid and hidden. They eat the softer inner wood and leave a thin outer shell intact, which is why a beam can look perfectly sound right up until it fails.
Structural damage to doors, frames, roof timbers and furniture. Repair costs escalate quickly because the extent is hidden, and colonies do not pause — they continue feeding year-round in Qatar's climate.
Inspection and species identification first, then a chemical soil barrier around the structure and direct treatment of affected timber. The aim is to eliminate the colony, not to push it to a neighbouring section of the building.
