EMERGENCY PEST CONTROLLER
Termites are insects belonging to Order Isoptera. They are also called “white ants,” however, aside from their social behaviour of existing in colonies in various forms or castes, they are not actual ants in appearance.
Termites have beaded antennae, are primarily light brown to white in colour, and lack a constriction between their thorax and abdomen. Reproductive forms feature one pair of compound eyes and two equal pairs of wings. Workers and soldiers have thin cuticles prone to desiccation in dry or exposed conditions, blind, sexless, and wingless.

TERMITE CONTROL METHODS INCLUDE-
Many different materials can be used to control termite, including:
PHYSICAL BARRIERS FOR TERMITE CONTROL
A specific size and shape of crushed granite. Granite particles that are too big and heavy for termites to walk through will prevent. them from entering a structure. Granite aggregate is frequently used in the lower bricks and around pipes of buildings with concrete slab foundations.
Mesh made of marine-grade stainless steel can be glued to masonry, concrete slab foundations, and pipes running through slabs. The tiny mesh apertures are inaccessible to termites.
Termite protection measures like metal ant caps on the tops of stumps beneath suspended timber floors can also aid. If put correctly, termites must create a plainly visible mud tube above the lid in order to enter the structure.
CHEMICAL BARRIERS
Chemical barriers function by spraying a continuous pesticide perimeter around the afflicted structure’s exterior. as a result, termites are unable to cross a zone or band of hazardous soil
Trenching around the structure’s foundations and injecting the chemical into the soil through holes drilled in the concrete foundations are two possible methods for creating an efficient chemical barrier.
DUSTS
Due to the insecticide being consumed and dispersed throughout the colony during routine grooming, dusts are effective at
controlling termites.
The most efficient treatments for termite dust are insect growth-regulator dusts (such Triflumuron) and non-repellent termiticides.
Since the 1930s, ferric oxide or other colourants have frequently been added to arsenic trioxide dust to suppress termites. On the other hand, arsenic trioxide is a dangerous, extremely toxic, and irreversible elemental pesticide.
What you can do to Prevention from Ants
Baiting is frequently the best strategy for eliminating an attacking colony when the primary nesting site cannot be located Additionally, bait stations let you collect termite samples for species identification.
Bait stations comprise containers of cellulose materials like wood, paper, or cellulose gel that are placed within or carefully buried
outside the target structure.
Pyrethroid-based repellent termiticide formulations are not effective colony control agents.
Why Terminates Are Considered as Pest
- Termites and white ants can cause damage worth hundreds of millions of dollars each vear.
- The damage is typically not covered by insurance.
- A nest is frequently indicated by flying white ants.
- Termites are mostly active in the warmer months.
- Fever, difficulty in breathing, nausea
- Skin infection
Termite Pest Control- Advice To Homeowners
For their colony to survive, termites need food (wood) and water to maintain high humidity inside their nests. By eliminating these requirements, homeowners can aid in termite attack prevention. Operators of pest control services should provide strategies for doing this, such as:
- Avoid storing wood directly on the soil, under, around, or in contact with buildings.
- Improve drainage and fix leaky plumbing to lessen available soil moisture.
- Ensure soil is not in contact with susceptible building timbers or encroach upon inspection zones.
- Ensure that subfloors are dry and have adequate ventilation.
