Termites are mainly Reticulitermes flavipectus, Reticulitermes nigripectus and termites. They invade residents' homes mainly by crawling, flying and taking. The infestation period of termites is usually from March to May, mainly in the daytime. The infestation period of domestic termites is generally from May to September, mainly at night, and the harm is greater than that of scattered termites. Therefore, once you find that the furniture in your home is damaged by termites, don't throw it away or move it easily, because termites have a sensitive sense of touch and will "run away" when they move; In addition, a large number of hidden ant colonies are difficult to kill by conventional methods. Simply spraying chemicals is also a temporary solution, but it will cause greater spread. Therefore, it is better to inform the professional ant control team to deal with it.
Method 2: Keep the house dry and ventilated.
Termites like to live in a hidden environment. They are afraid of light and avoid it. Therefore, in places that are easy to get wet, such as bathrooms and kitchens, we should try our best to keep dry and ventilated at ordinary times, and regularly remove the sundries in the house. In this way, there is no environment for termites to live in, and it is not easy to breed termites.

Termites are called "toothless tigers", and their harm is shocking. They have been compared to "no fireworks". Xiamen is located in the subtropical zone, with warm climate, humid environment and short natural conditions in winter, which is very suitable for termites to inhabit and multiply. From April to July every year, it is the peak of termite activity.

Invisible killer
A few days ago, Mr. Zhang called the termite control company for help, saying that his villa, which had been vacant for a year, had become a termite nest, and all the door locks were stuffed with termite excrement and could not be opened.
After receiving the call, termite control personnel immediately rushed to the scene and found that not only the lock was blocked, but also the door frame was "swallowed up" by termites. Push hard, the whole door fell down, the closet, kitchen cabinets and other wooden furniture in the room were chewed up, and the wooden floor collapsed. The villas that were decorated at a high price were basically eaten up. In the drawer of the wardrobe, the prevention and control personnel found a termite nest, which is the culprit. Mr. Zhang's new home is favored by termites, mainly because the villa was not treated with anti-termite treatment before renovation.
According to experts from termite control industry association, termites in our city can be divided into three categories: wood-dwelling termites, soil-dwelling termites and civil amphibious termites. Civil amphibious termites can not only bear fruit underground, but also nest in wood, such as common house termites, which are the most harmful to buildings. Because termites are concealed, they never move in the open air except in some seasons, and their nests are mostly underground and inside objects, so it is difficult for ordinary people to find them. By the time there are signs, the harm of termites is quite serious.
prevention first
Integrated control
How to control the development and spread of termite invasion? According to the introduction of termite control industry association, the most effective and simple measure is to control termites when building new houses.
Because most kinds of termites can't live without soil, soil treatment is the most important in the process of building houses. Through the drug treatment of foundation and soil, a "firewall" can be formed around the building to block all the channels that termites may enter.
Anti-ant regulations in new houses have always existed. As early as in documents 1987 and 1993, the Ministry of Construction issued documents No.28 and 10. 165, which stipulates that termite prevention should be carried out in all localities when building or rebuilding houses, and termite prevention should be included in the content of infrastructure projects and included in the budget, and the issuance of construction permits should be checked.
Article 8 of the Regulations on the Administration of Termite Prevention and Control in Urban Houses revised in 2004 "Before the construction project starts, the construction unit shall sign a termite prevention contract with the termite prevention unit. Termite control contracts shall specify the scope of control, control costs, quality standards, acceptance methods, treatment period, regular return visits, rights and obligations of both parties and liabilities for breach of contract. Termite prevention and control period shall not be less than 15 years, and the control period shall be calculated from the date of project delivery. "
In order to control the termite damage in urban buildings more effectively and nip in the bud, our city has carried out termite control on 24310.90 million square meters of new houses since 2000, which has relieved residents' worries.
After a sultry shower
Less window opening
As the administrative department of real estate in our city, the Municipal Bureau of Land Resources and Real Estate is responsible for the supervision and management of termite control in urban houses.
Since the establishment of the first termite control unit in 1990, there have been more than 50 termite control companies in our city. In order to standardize industry management, in 2003, under the initiative of 15 termite control units, Xiamen Termite Control Industry Association was established. Under the guidance of the competent government departments, it achieved the purpose of serving members and industries, played the role of "bridge" and "link" between the government and members, strengthened the supervision of termite control companies, and standardized control projects. In order to ensure that the later measures are in place, some time ago, the board of directors of the trade association 15 signed an industry self-discipline convention and made a commitment to termite control services.
For ordinary citizens, how to take protective measures every day. Experts suggest that April to July is the peak period of termite activity every year. Every evening, especially after the sultry shower, you should turn off the lights as little as possible and do not open the window. Once flying termites are found, corresponding measures should be taken, or termite control enterprises should be called immediately, and professionals should kill them.
The wooden floor eroded by termites has become a ruin, and termite control personnel are cleaning it up.

Why did the levee of a thousand miles collapse in the ant nest?
May and June are the grouping seasons of soil termites every year, and soil termites are the enemies of dams and earth dams. The idiom "A levee of a thousand miles collapses in an ant nest" refers to this termite.
Why do small termites empty the embankment of a thousand miles and make it collapse? Soil termites are terrestrial social insects, and their huge nests are built underground. There are at least millions of individual termites in adult ant nests. The queen and the place where the queen lives are called main nests, and the cavity area is 1 to several cubic meters.
The main nest and the sub-nest are connected by an ant passage, the inner diameter of the main ant passage is 6- 12 cm, and some termite passages extend in all directions, even through the inner and outer slopes of the dam. Because the black-winged soil termites are constantly swarming, feeding and nesting on the earth-rock dam, the ant nests in the earth-rock dam are "dotted" and the dam break is inevitable.
April day on earth-it's time to kill termites.
There are three ways for termites to invade buildings: crawling, flying and carrying. Therefore, the prevention of these pests mainly starts from three aspects.
The first is the ant prevention of building foundation. After the foundation is dug or the pile foundation of high-rise building is completed, toxic soil treatment is carried out around the foundation; Before the building is completed and the cement concrete waterproof slope is laid, it can effectively prevent domestic termites from climbing into the ground by treating the house with chemicals once.
Followed by cable and pipeline mouth anti-ant. The import and export of underground cables and various pipelines are the main channels for termite invasion. Therefore, when laying cables and various pipes in the house, the relevant parts should be treated with chemicals, and the key parts should be treated with ant-proof materials to prevent termites from crawling in through specific channels.
The third is the ant prevention of decoration materials. Decoration and central air conditioning system are places where termites breed and spread. Therefore, the decoration materials and central air conditioning system should be thoroughly treated with drugs to eliminate the termites brought in.
