And the precautions we can do are:
(1) Put clear water under the lamp to drown it
At night, if you see termites flying around outdoors, close the doors and windows to prevent termites from flying indoors. If you let it fly indoors, it is easy to form a termite nest at home, causing more serious harm.
After the doors and windows are closed, you can turn on a light on the balcony, because the light has an attraction effect on the flying termites. Put a basin of water under the lamp, and the termites will fall into the water and drown.
(2) Never spray insecticides on termites and ant roads
"Acute" ant-killing drugs can only play a role in driving away, and after use, they will move to more secret places, it is difficult to cut grass and remove roots, and eventually it will aggravate the ant infestation. It is recommended that when you are renovating, you should do the corresponding termite control measures to prevent it before it happens.
