Abstract : The abiquitors distribution of a rich variety of subterranean termite species had culminated in variegated huge losses and damages worth of huge sums of money inflicted on human valued properties including houses storage facilities and agricultural commodities. Recent reports and inventory surveys had shown that the infestation is on the rise due to a widely extensive and intensive sprawling of major cities through transforming traditional date palm orchards and marginal lands into housing projects and urban settlements. The extensive transformation of desert land and at oases fringes into agricultural production and the increase of irrigation had created welcomed utopias for the ensuing multiplication of these insidious creatures. Contemporary ecological and biological studies have been confronted with problems of accurate taxonomic identification of recovered species due to the apparent deficiencies in the number of renowned experts worldwide especially when dealing with the newly discovered species. Traditionally most identification was used to be based solely on eco-bio-morphological characteristics but currently the innovative state of the art sophisticated technologies (DNA, chromosomes, Karyotyping, Microarray, PCR, have been widely adopted to document phylogenetic relationships, authenticate and expedite proper identification of species which will automatically lead to rational application of logistical curative measures and alternative suppressive strategies en-route to a meaningful control of these subterranean entities thas culprit of awesome hazards and human property havocs.
