The Termitat Termite Exhibit Lets You Observe Termits In Your Own Home

— December 31, 2014 — Tech
Nobody wants to have termites running around their house and chewing on walls and flooring, but there are many folks who wouldn't mind having a controlled termite exhibit to look at. Termites are fascinating creatures that are interesting to watch as long as you're watching them go about their work in a controlled environment rather than your basement.

Each Termitat unit includes around 25 worker and soldier termites, which live out their lifespan -- a few years -- living on the wood included in the exhibit. Owners simply need to add a bit of water through a tiny hole atop the Termitat twice a month and keep the exhibit away from direct sunlight to avoid overheating.
Trend Themes
1. Controlled Termite Exhibits - The trend of controlled termite exhibits allows people to observe termites in a controlled environment, presenting opportunities for educational experiences and scientific research.
2. Personalized Home Exhibits - The trend of personalized home exhibits, like the Termitat, offers a unique way for individuals to bring nature into their living spaces and observe tiny ecosystems in action.
3. DIY Science Experiences - The trend of DIY science experiences, such as owning a Termitat, empowers individuals to engage in hands-on learning and explore the wonders of nature from the comfort of their own homes.
Industry Implications
1. Education - Controlled termite exhibits present opportunities for educational institutions to enhance biology and environmental science curricula, allowing students to study termites and their behavior.
2. Home Decor - The personalized home exhibit trend opens up opportunities for the home decor industry to create unique, nature-inspired products that allow individuals to bring a piece of the natural world into their homes.
3. Entertainment - DIY science experiences, like owning a Termitat, could be a potential niche in the entertainment industry as people seek interactive and educational ways to entertain themselves and guests.
