How to eliminate termites and what medicine to use

As living conditions get better and better and the Internet becomes more developed, termites are becoming more active. Every time we find swarms of termites at home, we always use online platforms to find people to exterminate the termites, such as the 58.com app that we often use, which is also the one we often turn to for help. We spend a lot of money hiring someone to remove termites from our homes, but we don’t realize that we can easily and cost-effectively eliminate them by referring to this article.

1) Spray powder when you see ants. When you see termites in places where they are active, spray 3% ant star powder. This will use the biological characteristics of termites feeding on each other to kill the entire ant nest.

2) Trapping and killing method: Dig a pit 30 to 40 cm deep where termites are present, without any water accumulation. Place pine branches, sugarcane residue and other food that termites like to eat in the pit, then cover it with burlap bags or loose soil and wet it with rice water. Or you can just pack the pine wood in a wooden box and soak it in water. After 10 to 20 days, when there are more termites attracted, spraying ant star powder can achieve the effect of destroying the entire ant nest more quickly.

3) Digging nest method. The weather is cold in winter, and termites gather in large numbers in nests. At this time, the nest digging method can achieve better results.

4) Chemical control method

Using various toxic chemical substances - pesticides, through certain methods, directly contact the termite bodies, or treat their habitats, breeding places, and harmful objects, so that the termites will die of poisoning due to contact with or ingestion of the pesticides, or the pesticides will be repelled and cannot invade and cause harm. Its characteristics are quick effect, high efficiency, simple use and little regional restriction.
