Zhangmutou termite control

Termites have a unique "eating, living and traveling" lifestyle, which makes the ant infestation ubiquitous. It not only seriously endangers the agricultural ecological security, but also causes harm to all aspects of the national economy, including immeasurable losses to houses and buildings, forests and trees, river embankments, and even documents and books, clothing and furniture, cultural relics and historical sites. Today I will talk to you about termite control in Zhangmutou.

1. There are more than 3,000 species of termites in the world, and more than 500 species of termites have been discovered in my country, mainly distributed in provinces and cities south of the Yangtze River. Common types of termites that cause damage in Foshan, Guangdong include: Formosan house termites, scattered termites, soil termites, dam termites, sand mound termites, etc.

2. Termites cause widespread damage, are hidden, and difficult to detect. Once discovered, the consequences are very serious. Termites mainly feed on wood and other fiber-containing materials. They like to build nests in dark, humid and airtight environments. They are one of the five most recognized pests in the world. They have large colonies, large numbers, and secretive activities. They cause harm to urban construction, agriculture, water conservancy, and transportation, and pose a serious threat to human property.

3. The peak period of termite damage is from April to June every year, when a large number of winged adults fly out of the nests to mate and spread and reproduce. (Winged adults are commonly brown-yellow in color.) When termites are found flying into your home or office, you should first close the doors and windows and spray mosquito repellent to effectively kill the breeding ants that have flown in.

4. Pay more attention to whether the decoration of your home has changed color, and whether there is any excrement like mud and sand in the joints. If you find such a situation, you should knock on it to see if there is a hollow sound. Discoloration, holes, and excrement are signs of termite damage.

Ecological prevention method: Ecological prevention method is a prevention method that takes necessary measures or carries out various activities according to the requirements of termite prevention and control before the construction of buildings and water conservancy projects, during the long period of time after completion and in a series of planting work, to create an environment that is not conducive to the breeding of termites and protect buildings, earth dams, agricultural and forestry crops, etc. from termite damage.

Biological control method: Based on the interspecies struggle that exists in nature and the relationship between termites and fungi, it uses the natural enemies of termites to control termites and uses fungal indicators to find nests.

Physical and mechanical control method: a method of controlling termites by using manpower, equipment, and physical energy such as light, heat, electricity, sound, and waves.

The nest digging method is a method of artificially digging out the ant nest, killing the queen ant, and controlling its reproduction. Generally, this method is used without destroying the green landscape. It is best to do it in winter because the weather is cold and the remaining termites after digging the nest will be frozen, which can eliminate the termites more thoroughly. It is best to apply some termite medicine after digging the nest.
