Affect of different environmental factors i.e., temperature, relative humidity and precipitation on population dynamics, density and foraging activities of  Microtermes obesi  Holmgren and  Odontotermes lokanandi  Chatarjee and Thakur (Isoptera: Termitidae) were studied from March 2010 to July 2012 in Islamabad. A total of 1200 poplar wooden stakes was used for monitoring the termite activities in Islamabad. The results showed that 65 out of 1200 poplar wooden stakes were found infested by both species i.e.  M. obesi  and  O. lokanandi.  Both species were interacting with each other in the experimental field and  O. lokanandi  was found significantly dominant. Mean yield per trap ranged from 0.83 ± 0.20 gm to 1.12 ± 0.28 gm and 0.35 ± 0.09 gm to 0.82 ± 0.19 gm for  M. obesi  and  O. lokanandi  in the field, respectively.  M. obesi  and  O. lokanandi  in 1.0 gm sample ranged from 539.83 ± 2.21 to 567.83 ± 9.41 and 407.67 ± 4.75 to 424.5 ± 1.15 individuals, respectively. Population of workers ranged from 93.53 ± 1.73 to 97.68 ± 0.40 and 91.69 ± 1.42 to 98.41 ± 0.50 percent for  M. obesi  and  O. lokanandi , respectively.  Positive and significant correlation was found among atmospheric temperature, precipitation and both subterranean termite species i.e.,  M. obesi  and  O. lokanandi ; however, the correlation was found non significant and negative between relative humidity and foraging activities of both termite species.  Moreover, correlation was found positive and significant between atmospheric temperature and percent workers of  M. obesi ; while negative and non-significant between atmospheric temperature and percent workers of  O. lokanandi . Negative and significant correlation was noted between relative humidity and percent workers of  M. obesi ; whereas, positive and significant correlation was recorded between relative humidity and percent workers of  O. lokanandi . Positive and non-significant correlation was recorded between precipitation and percent workers of  M. obesi ; while positive and significant correlation was observed between precipitation and percent workers of  O. lokanand .
