How to get rid of termites?

House termites like warmth and are afraid of cold, which is why termites reproduce faster in the south.

Although house termites like moisture, they are afraid of water. They generally do not build their nests in places where water is easily accumulated, which also provides some convenience for us to find ant nests.

Termites like darkness and are afraid of light. Is this the reason why we usually can't find them? By the time we find them, they have already hollowed out the doors, windows and furniture. When we usually prevent and control them, we must pay special attention to dark places.

How can we avoid the invasion of termites in our daily life?

Do not pile up dry wood products, such as discarded furniture, firewood, etc., in front of or behind your house to avoid attracting termites.

Termites like dark and humid environments, so the house should be kept ventilated and dry.

Check wardrobes, tables, etc. frequently to see if there are any insect infestations so that problems can be resolved early.

If you find ant holes, do not destroy them easily to prevent the ant colony from spreading. Termites hide deep in the ground and can hide in even the smallest areas.

Do not use common household pest control methods such as spraying "Miebailing" or using insecticides to deal with termites, because termites are different from ordinary ants. This is not only not conducive to killing termites, but also easily causes them to spread.

What to do if there are termites in your home?

Simple insect extermination method: turn on only one desk lamp in the room, put a basin of water under the lamp, and use the phototaxis of termites to make them fall into the water and drown. If there is an ant infestation in residents' homes, do not blindly spray them with pesticides, as this will cause termites hidden in ant nests underground or in walls to move, causing the infestation to spread. Citizens can ask professionals to come to their homes to eliminate the infestation.

When you discover ant infestation, try to find the ant nest or ant trail. First, spray the ant-killing powder onto the termites in the ant nest or ant trail as much as possible, so that they can infect each other with toxicity and achieve the killing effect.

In places where termite infestation is discovered, holes are drilled at certain distances in wooden door and window frames and injected with powder. At the same time, the surrounding soil is sprayed with powder so that both the wood and soil contain a certain amount of toxins. Termites that come into contact with the toxins or feed on them will be poisoned and die.

Trapping and killing method. Since pesticide spraying can easily cause soil pollution and damage, biological control methods are used in developed countries and regions such as Europe and the United States to intercept and kill termites.
