Asante and Weather Map Collaborate on Real-Time Termite Activity Monitoring

Asante and Weather Map's Innovative Termite Monitoring Solution

In an exciting collaboration, Asante, the top provider of termite control services in Japan, has partnered with Weather Map, a meteorological company, to launch the "Asante × Weather Map Termite Activity Map 2026". This innovative tool provides real-time insights into termite activity, helping homeowners protect their properties from potential infestations.

Enhanced Features for 2026

This year's project integrates 17 years of Asante's termite research and service data with Weather Map's advanced weather analysis technologies. The key features of this initiative include:

1. Termite Activity Map (Daily Updates): Based on thousands of annual survey requests from customers across the nation, termite activity will be plotted in real-time on Google Maps. This feature will visualize areas with increased activity by adding the latest data each day.

2. Swarm Warning Alerts (Daily Updates): Using a unique algorithm developed by Weather Map and based on 17 years of Asante's data, this feature will assess the risk of termite swarming. It identifies the specific weather conditions conducive to swarming, categorizing risk levels into three tiers: "Caution," "Warning," and "Severe Warning."

3. Fixed Observation Sites: Asante will monitor 10 fixed observation sites across five prefectures (Fukushima, Tochigi, Kanagawa, Shizuoka, and Aichi) to provide a series of photographs capturing the lifecycle changes of termites, specifically their winged phase.

These enhancements aim to improve the accuracy and timeliness of termite-related information, thereby safeguarding residences.

The Importance of Accurate Data

Asante's Termite Activity Map features data accumulated over years, allowing homeowners to look back on previous year trends and peak activity times. The introduction of a supplementary 2025 archive, available upon launch, ensures a comprehensive understanding of seasonal patterns in termite activity.

According to Jun Ebana, a meteorologist at Weather Map, the last three years were the hottest on record, impacting termite behavior. In particular, the late spring to early summer months are crucial as rising temperatures tend to drive termites to swarm. Ebana emphasizes that Asante’s unique observational network ensures that no changes in termite behavior go unnoticed.
