What are the signs of termites appearing in the house

The presence of termites in the home is a very troublesome problem, because people don’t know how many termites there are, or how to eliminate them, preferably all in one fell swoop. But it is even more difficult. But what is even more confusing is why termites appear in the home and what are the signs? Today I will tell you what the signs are of termites appearing in your home.

It means that there is a termite nest in your home. The hot and humid weather is the peak season for termites to appear.

Once termites are spotted flying around, do not use methods such as spraying pesticides, burning, or flushing with water without authorization to avoid further spread of the damage caused by termites. The focus of termite control should be on killing the termites inside the nest, otherwise it will only be a temporary solution and may even have a counterproductive effect.

Methods for preventing and controlling termites:

Boil a pot of water, bring it to a boil and pour it over the termite nest to kill the termites.

Use a drilling machine to drill holes in wooden components and inject termite-killing drugs to disinfect termites.

When building a new house, you can treat all wooden components with anti-termite drugs so that termites will be less likely to infest the house in the future.

Even if there are not many termites in the house, you should pay attention to it because termites have strong reproductive capacity. If they are not killed in time, large groups of termites will appear.

When termites appear in your home and adult termites fly around, don't panic. First of all, the most direct way is to turn off the lights and close the windows. Then spray mosquito repellent indoors and try to kill all the termites. Although termites do not bite people, they may cause endless troubles to the home.

When termite infestation is discovered, it is crucial to check where the termites are hiding: carefully check the wooden components of the house for signs of termite infestation. If the ant paths are fresh, moist, and sticky, knock on the suspected areas. If a hollow sound is heard, termites may be active.

Wooden boxes and cabinets that have not been moved for a long time; the junction of beams and walls under the attic; the hollow walls near water pipes; and under the electric switch or fire extinguisher box inside the wall are all places that should be checked in particular.

To eradicate termites, you must find the nest. Spray the wood infested with termites with pesticides, or replace the wood infested with termites, as they may reappear in the future. As for the nest: 1. The nest is usually in a damp and dark pile of wood or groceries, or in the stove of an old house. 2. To find the nest, you can look for traces of wet mud and then follow the wet mud; or you can use a flashlight to lure the ants out at night. 3. Termites make noises when they are chewing wood. That kind of noise means there are termites inside. If you don’t look carefully, you will only find them when the wood is almost empty.
