What if there are termites at home?

Termites that harm houses are mainly domestic termites. Generally, newly-built houses will not be harmed by termites. Termites enter the house to harm and nest, mainly through termites climbing into the house by building roads in the soil and winged breeding ants flying into the house to nest.

To prevent termites from entering houses, it is mainly to take targeted measures for their spread. Mature nest of domestic termites, 4? 1 month spreads in groups, especially in the sultry dusk (19: 00 ~ 2 1: 00), winged breeding ants fly to the place with lights, invade the room, pair up with males and females, and find suitable gaps to nest. Therefore, in the termite colony season, residents should do a good job of preventing domestic termites from flying around indoors. (1) At night, it was found that domestic termites had winged breeding ants flying into the room. Close doors and windows quickly, turn off attractive headlights (high brightness lights such as fluorescent lamps) to reduce termites flying indoors; (2) When a small number of winged breeding ants are found flying indoors, you can put a basin full of water under the lamp to let the flying termites fall into the water and drown, or spray household insecticides such as black cyclone, Beidou and radar.

The winged adult of termites is 7.8? 0 mm, yellow-brown back, two pairs of wings with similar size on the side, and the wing surface is light yellow. At the same time, a black-winged soil termite (commonly known as water ant) can be seen under the lamp, which mainly harms agricultural and forestry crops and wood structures near the ground. Its body length is 12? 4 mm, dark brown wings, easy to distinguish from domestic termites.

Termite control in newly-built houses. There are specialized termite control companies in big cities. Can you buy some 10% cypermethrin EC 100 diluted for newly-built houses in rural areas? 00 times brush soil, wall and wood structure connection. A ditch 40 cm deep and 30 cm wide is opened around the newly-built house, and the soil in the ditch is mixed with 50 times of 50% phoxim emulsifiable concentrate to form a toxic soil ditch to prevent termites from crawling indoors.

If termites are found in the old house, you can go to the county or city termite control company to buy some mirex powder and tools for prevention and control. Where ant paths and nests are found, live ants can be used to open a small hole in the ant paths and spray mirex powder balls. Next, let termites take medicine home and die of infection. Such as a large number of wooden cases, floors, bookcases, etc. Where termites are concentrated, it can be sprayed in many places where termites are active, so that as many termites as possible can bring the medicine back to the nest to achieve good ant killing effect.

It is best to prevent termites in the old house in combination with the renovation and decoration of the house. Use 50% phoxim EC and 10% cypermethrin EC 100? 00 times the liquid for brushing and spraying. If the house has been decorated, you can drill a small hole at regular intervals in the key parts of the wooden structure near the wall and the ground and inject phoxim liquid medicine. After the injection, the small hole should be filled. If termites are found in the green garden around the house, they should also be prevented in time, otherwise termites will spread indoors. You can dig traps where live termites are found and trap them with pine boards.
