First of all, ask:
1. Understand the construction age and structural type of houses damaged by termites. 2. The occurrence time and recent discovery of termites. 3. Time, place and number of termites flying separately. 4. What measures have been taken to control and prevent ants? 5. Are there any planning changes for the houses with ants in this area?
Second, check:
1. External environment: trees, flowers, etc. B. wooden posts, stakes, wooden fences, etc. C. temporary rooms or sundries, etc. 2. Indoor parts: a. Grounding and wall-leaning parts of wooden doors, windows and wooden stairs. B, wooden floor, skirting board, partition, partition wall and grounding part. C, beams, sandalwood, rafters, against the wall.
Third, determine:
1. According to the flying time, victims, exposure signs and pest specimens, it can be determined whether termites are harmful or not, and the families and genera of termites can also be determined. 2. According to the occurrence age of termites, victims, signs of exposure, the number of loose termites, etc. The number and harm degree of termites can be determined.
"Search Method" for Termites and Moths
Due to the negligence of wood treatment in the process of furniture manufacturing, many families buy furniture and find bugs in it. These wood-eating insects, mainly termites and moths, eat furniture all the year round, and if they are not treated in time, the situation will quickly become more serious. Therefore, relevant experts of Zhongke Insect Biotechnology Development Co., Ltd. provided some prevention suggestions for readers.
How to find termites
March and April are the time for scattered termites to breed separately. In the morning and afternoon of this period, if a large group of small brown insects with four wings are found flying out, we should be alert to whether there are termites. There is no need to panic at this time. Try not to use pesticides to kill ants at will. You can collect some samples and put them in glass bottles and send them to special institutions for inspection.
The breeding period of domestic termites is concentrated in May and June. In the sultry evening, a large group of brown insects flew out and their wings fell off, probably domestic termites. To deal with domestic termites, you can put a big pot of water under the lamp and pour some oil. Domestic termites have phototaxis, so they can drown. Of course, this is a temporary solution, not a permanent cure, or we need to find a professional insecticidal company or relevant departments to kill ants.
Generally, adult wood needs two to three years of air drying before it can be basically determined to be qualified wood. If the air-drying time is omitted or shortened, the interior of furniture, wooden floor and home improvement wood may carry moths and cannot be found in time. These beetles will rely on cellulose, starch and sugar in building materials to grow, and they will hatch and gradually spread.
Pink bugs are the most common bugs. They will bite a lot of sesame holes on the surface of furniture, leaving a lot of powder at the vertical position of the holes, which is the excrement of sawdust and mealworms. Therefore, if you find suspicious powder on the floor or furniture surface, you should look along the direction and pay attention to whether there is such a small hole in the vertical position. The treatment method of Tenebrio molitor is to buy pesticides such as mirex from pharmacies, repeatedly brush the drugs on the surface of furniture with holes with a paint brush, and then cover them with sealing paper. If they are in the furniture, close the cupboard door and repeat three or four times.
It is also more common. In contrast, it is bigger, and its hole is as big as mung bean. To deal with beetles, you can find an abandoned syringe, inject dichlorvos and other drugs into the hole, then block the hole with cotton and fumigate it to death. However, it should be noted that after the processing steps are completed, doors and windows must be opened in time for ventilation.
Termite invasion in summer
Listening to "sound" and distinguishing "road" to prevent
Why is June-August the peak of termite reproduction? Professionals from Xinsheng Termite Control Company told reporters that from June to August, the temperature is usually 2 1.7 to 30 degrees Celsius, the air pressure is 100.02 to 100.37 kPa, and the humidity is 7 1% to 96%. These climatic conditions are very suitable for termite reproduction.
So how to find termites and prevent them? Professional prevention and control personnel say that if the wooden decoration surface in the home turns yellow-brown, it makes a hollow sound when knocking at the door, and the sound of "squeaking" can be heard near, and the yellow-brown ant path built by termites with excrement can be seen in the gap of the wooden structure, then termites are likely to live at home or have formed an ant nest. When finding ants, don't disturb termites to prevent termites from spreading to other places, and immediately notify professional prevention and control companies to kill them.
How to establish termite prevention
New prevention
Because most termites are inseparable from soil, in the process of building houses,
It is necessary to prevent and treat soil. Department of Basic and Soil Medicine
Can form a barrier around the building to block all possible termites.
Channels.
The new preventive treatment is mainly divided into three stages:
1, drug treatment of foundation: after the foundation is dug, at the bottom and two walls of the foundation, according to the regulations.
Spray drugs regularly.
2, after the building backfill soil, before laying cement ground, soil surface drug treatment first.
Spray.
3. After the wooden door window frame is finished, apply ant control medicine.
4, other wooden components of drug treatment, according to different situations can generally be coated.
Brush coating or dipping treatment.
New prevention tools:
1, electric or fuel-driven small sprayer (requiring large lift and flow).
2. Small cable reel, used to supply power to sprayer.
3, measuring cup, used to prepare liquid medicine.
4, the container of liquid medicine (generally more than 80 liters).
Basic knowledge of ants
Overview:
Termites, people often say: termites. Water moth, moth, etc. , is one of the important pests in the world. More than 2770 species belonging to 300 genera have been found, most of which are distributed in tropical and subtropical regions.
There are more than 400 known species of termites in China, mainly distributed in the southeast south of the Yangtze River. Except Heilongjiang, Jilin, Inner Mongolia, Ningxia, Qinghai and Xinjiang, there are termites in all provinces, cities and districts in China. Common and serious hazards are: domestic termites, soil-dwelling termites, black-winged termites, black-breasted termites, yellow-breasted termites and so on. They reproduce sexually and quickly. They like to live in a damp and dark environment, and their eyes have deteriorated. Most species are afraid of sunlight and dare not be exposed to the surface. Their nests are in mud and wood, and they tend to build underground passages.
It is necessary to build a covered "corridor" with dirt, excrement and secretions in the mouth to cover the exposed ant road. In a word, they have lived a secret life for a long time, and it is difficult for people to notice that they have damaged objects. The object is invaded by termites, and its appearance is intact, and its interior is full of holes. Once discovered, the loss is quite serious. Therefore, termites are big pests and hidden dangers in the buildings and dams of rivers and reservoirs, and have long been described by historians as "the catastrophe of mankind".
The harm of termites:
Termites are important pests in the world, especially in tropical and subtropical regions. The severity and scope of its harm are well known. Termites are harmful to many sectors of the national economy, and people's clothes, food, shelter, transportation and articles are deeply harmed.
Building construction, transportation and telecommunications equipment, river dikes and reservoir earth dams, documents, fabrics, weapons, books, documents, account books, woodcut boards, quilts and various cotton and linen textiles can attract termites to eat. In addition, termites can also harm many agricultural and forestry crops.
Termite grade:
Termite is a social insect, living in groups. In the same group, due to different status and division of labor, there have been different levels of differentiation. According to their physiological functions, each grade can be divided into two categories: reproductive ants, also known as reproductive ants, mainly refer to ants' queens and queens, which play the role of breeding offspring; Non-reproductive ants with no reproductive function are the largest in termite nests, mainly including worker ants and soldier ants. Worker ants directly endanger articles.
Termite control:
The basic methods of termite control mainly include ecological control, biological control, physical and mechanical control and chemical control. According to different termite species and different control sites, it is often necessary to use a variety of methods reasonably to achieve better control results.
Termite control can be divided into prevention method and elimination method according to the object and mode of action. Prevention methods include preventing termites in buildings, materials and products, dams and crops. The elimination methods are mainly aimed at specific termites that are being harmed, such as domestic termites, loose termites and sand-piling termites.
Basic control methods of termites
One is termite control, which is mainly a common method after buildings and other places are harmed by termites.
The second is the means to prevent termite invasion, which is mostly used for the prevention of new houses.
First, in the harm of termites, try to find ant paths and nests. Spraying termite control powder on termites in ant passages and nests as much as possible, so that they can infect each other with drugs, thus achieving the control effect.
Second, in places where termites are found, such as wooden doors and windows, liquid medicine can be injected into the wooden door and window frames at a certain distance, and the surrounding soil should also be sprayed with liquid medicine, so that both the wooden door and window frames and the soil contain certain toxins, and termites will be poisoned and die after eating or contacting the poisons.
3. Trapping method: Trapping piles, trapping pits, trapping piles and bait can be set up where termites are found. These three methods can be used alone or in combination.
Fourth, fumigation, which uses hot gas or poisonous gas to kill, has also achieved good results to some extent.
There are many ways to kill termites, but the reasonable killing methods are mainly formulated according to the occurrence of termites and the surrounding environment.
Ant killing tool
1. Powder sprayer: a tool for powder spraying, which consists of a nozzle, a spray head and a capsule.
2. Screwdriver: it is used to tap the wooden component to identify whether the interior of the wooden component has been eaten by termites; Pry open the wood surface or ant path and check whether there are termites inside. It can also be used to pry open the joints of small wooden components.
3. Hammer and chisel: special tools for prying the floor.
4, flashlight: lighting tools, check the harm and harm of termites in the dark.
5. Sprayer: It is a tool for spraying liquid medicine. In order to make the sprayed liquid medicine become a branch line, the nozzle is generally modified into a supporting head.
6. Wood protectors: With the continuous improvement of tools, wood protectors with point power and various replaceable nozzles are indispensable tools to kill termites (especially termites).
7, portable pistol electric drill, used for punching wooden components.
