The damage of termites to buildings, especially to brick and wood structures, timber structures is particularly serious。Because it is hidden inside the wooden structure, damage or damage its bearing point, it is easy to cause the sudden collapse of the house。What should you do if you find termites in your door frame？

If you want to destroy termites, only after understanding their habits can you better cure them!

 

Habits of termites:

Termites are a kind of insects with strong organization and high division of labor. Their life is always inseparable from the surrounding natural environment. In order to adapt to the environment and survive, termites have certain rules of life。

 

1, social habitat: termites are a kind of nest living insects, no matter what kind of termites, they build nests as a base camp。

2. Darkness: termites tend to be photophobic and live a hidden life。It goes out to gather food and water, burrowing tunnels under the ground or under wood。                      

3, wet: the life of termites is very important to the requirements of water, if you leave the water is unable to live。

4, neatness: termite colonies meet each other when licking, and feeding each other, each other also swallowed the bodies of the same kind, timely removal of feces and skin and other excrement。

5, thermotaxis: termites are also temperature-loving insects, temperature is the main factor affecting the distribution of termites;Different species of termites also have significant differences in temperature requirements。For example, the species that can live in the north, Reticulitermes melanothorax, can adapt to low temperatures in the northern provinces。

6. Sensitivity: Termite activities are very sensitive to external interference。

7, hobby: in the termite diet, cellulose accounts for a large proportion。

8. Clustering: The spread of termites mainly depends on emergence and clustering, and the juvenile nest of black-winged odontotermes develops to the adult nest, which must go through the development process of more than five years to form a mature nest and the differentiation of winged adults。

According to the living habits of termites, we can take the following ways to eliminate termites in the door frame:

1, drug killing method (spray/perfusion)

The method of killing drugs is the use of various toxic chemicals - powder/agent，Drill a small hole in a termite-eaten door frame，Use tools to spray termite powder (or pour termite medicine)，Direct contact with termite bodies，The termites are poisoned to death by contact with or ingestion of the agent，Or because of this, it can not invade the harm。

 

2. Bait and kill method

When termites are found and the nest is not found, the nest is known and can not be dug out, and the number of termites is too small to be completely eliminated by drug killing, it is best to use the method of trapping。

 

A termite colony extermination system was installed on the door frame, which was developed by taking advantage of the habit of termite workers feeding each other and responsible for feeding soldiers, young ants, ant Kings and queens。This system uses baits containing hexavolon to feed termites, because hexavolon is a kind of insect growth regulator, which can inhibit the peeling of insects. Workers cannot peel after taking the baits and die, and the whole population is destroyed. This is a fundamental cure for termites。 Hexavolone is very, very low toxic to mammals, with an oral lethal dose of more than 5000 mg per kilogram of body weight, effective only against insects that shed their skin, have no taste, and are not irritating。

Misunderstanding of killing termites:

1, out of sight is net: many people hold the mentality of negative waiting, not active attack, always want to wait for termites to climb out and kill themselves, but termites continue to breed and harm in the dark, the result of termite mite damage is more serious。

2, indiscriminate use: for example, use spray insecticides to kill termites, see white termites climb out, just take the aerosol spray to kill, seemingly kill a few termites, in fact, this is a big taboo in addition to termites, termites frightened, but increased the difficulty of removing ants。

3, not in addition to termites first remove the door frame: many people think that the termites bite the wood to remove there are no termites, this is called cover your ears and steal the bell!Termite nests won't be in the gnawed wood, and removing the wood won't do anything to get rid of the termites。Even if you want to remove the bitten wood, you should first remove the termites, otherwise, you will lose a termite application point and opportunity。
