• We should use a semicolon in places where two clauses are independent but somewhere related to each other because they both describe the same thing.
• But in this sentence we already have a conjunction present, which is "though", therefore we cannot use semicolon here. Also the two clauses are dependent on each other.
• Semicolon should be used when there is no conjunction between the clauses that are independent and they need to be joined together.
