Beware of The Termites! They Are More Daring Than You Thought

Termites are the biggest enemy of your building’s wooden structure. They are insects similar to ants in appearance, so you may often confuse them with ants. However, their presence can damage your place to a non-recoverable extent. Read on to learn why they can be so dangerous and how to stop them:

Why Are Termites So Malicious?

They eat cellulose and hence damage the structure of building made from material composing cellulose and other wooden furniture in the building. They are present in colonies and build long underground tunnels for moving food, strengthening their network.

They slowly and gradually eat up the structure and furniture of your house, and by the time you start noticing the damage, they would have been millions in number. It is essential to keep them away from your building and conduct a periodic inspection to prevent infestation.

There are two ways to keep termites away: prevention and elimination.

Termites Elimination

Once termites infest your building, it’s unlikely that they will leave your structure without comprehensive treatment. Termites are very stubborn, so you should call professional pest control services to eliminate them.

There are different types of chemical and non-chemical methods used for extermination. Like honeybees, termites also have a colony led by ‘the Queen.’ Most effective methods of elimination focus on killing the queen, creating chaos amongst the colony, and then eliminating the whole colony. Knocking out the queen eases the work as the colony will crumble without its leader.

The queen is typically targeted by providing poisonous food to any termite. Since termites share their food with their colony, it must be taken to the queen first, poisoning her to death. The underground tunnels are also blocked to prevent other food supplies. They are trapped with poison and have nowhere to run to this way.

Termite Prevention

After getting rid of termites from your structure, it is essential to take precautionary measures to prevent them from resurfacing. If your building has been home to termites once, it’s more susceptible to becoming their residence again.

You can prevent termite infestation by creating a physical barrier against the wooden structures. However, an effective barrier may only be created during construction. Don’t plant trees or keep logs too close to the wooden surfaces and walls of the house. Don’t bring in wooden thrift furniture or any item in your house. Use borate on wooden surfaces.

Most importantly, hire a pest control company to conduct timely inspections if the structure is based on wood mainly. It is nearly impossible to detect them with naked eyes before they cause a disaster; hence professional help is required.
