What kind of means are used to manually find termite nests? To find a termite nest, you also have to understand its characteristics. Let Shenzhen Guangshen Pest Control Co., Ltd. (www.szgsu.com) Longgang District Termite Control Branch teach you how to find a termite nest!
Termites are insects that live in nests, and nests are the base camp for termite concentrations. Termite nests not only protect termite colonies from foreign predators, but also provide a stable environment suitable for termite life. The temperature inside the nest is often kept within the warm range, with the temperature inside the nest higher than outside the nest in winter and lower than outside the nest in summer. Termites that leave the nest in the natural environment are difficult to survive for a long time, so the nest occupies an extremely important position in termite life. But the range of group activity can be extended to a fairly long distance outside the nest. No matter how all kinds of termites live, there are simple or complex nests, some of which are built on the ground with ridges up to 9 meters high and a base diameter of 20-30 meters, some nests are built underground, and some are built in walls and trees.
Find a nest according to the signs of termite exposure: termites go out and eat, the harm is very hidden, but anything is hidden or traceable. Termites, as the nest continues to develop, it is bound to show many signs. Based on these exposed, sign characteristics, the nest location can be traced and determined. At present, termite control in Longgang District is mainly based on the three major exposures to judge the nest position of domestic termites.
1. Flying hole: It is the hole that the long-winged breeding ant flies out of the nest for mouth propagation. In general, long-winged breeding ants have the habit of crawling upwards for a period of two ways before the 3th point, so the flying holes appear around the top of the nest. On the eve of termite flight, if you use a screwdriver to break the hole, the soldiers will soon guard the opening, and soon many worker ants will immediately burst out to repair the closed and broken part. When the flying hole is placed high and low, the nest should be sought from a lower position. When there are flyholes on the left and right or around, you have to find the nest from the center of the flyholes. If two or more flyholes are found in the same 1 room, and the distance is relatively far (generally more than 10 meters), it is necessary to consider whether there are two or more nests. So look carefully and don't cause hidden dangers.
2, excrement: commonly known as "termite" is a brown or brown loose block, is the worker ant nest from the nest out of the nest of the sand, plus excrement and saliva processing substances. Excrement is generally present on the outer layer of the nest. Therefore, if the excrement is found, it means that there must be an ant nest in it. In the excrement, if the fibrous content is large, it means that the nest is in the wood, if the soil grain content is large, it means that it is underground. For example, the part of the wall containing more fibers and materials. With lime particles, it means that the nest is in the wallless part of the wood.
3, ventilation hole: ventilation hole is to adjust the temperature and humidity of the nest of small holes, shaped like sesame dots, consulting if on the surface of a large wooden column, due to relatively small, to carefully search, careful identification. Vents were found either on hollow walls or on lime arsenic ceilings, and small steel wires inserted into the vents basically indicated that there was a termite nest inside. At this time, it can be thrown, such as hearing the crisp puncture of the nest of "squeak, squeak, squeak", and the sound of the nest piece can be judged to have an ant nest inside.
In addition, in addition to the above three main exposed signs can be used as the basis for judging the nest, the nest can also be judged according to the special water exercise of the Termite Killing Company in Guangshen Longgang District. Since termite nests maintain a certain amount of humidity, the water vapor saturated in their nests will penetrate into the lime, forming pale yellow water stains. In addition to the water debt caused by moisture leakage in the house, if there are ventilation holes or fly holes in the place where the feet are responsible for water, it can be indicated that there must be an ant nest in it. Termite extermination can be carried out from the termite nest to the total extinction of the nest.
The above three main exposed signs, in a nest, sometimes appear together with three, and only one or two of them appear in pairs. For finding a nest, we should firmly believe that there must be an objective law of nests when there are ants. However, due to the large range of termites, it can go to several meters, tens of meters, and some even to nearly 100 meters away to move and harm. Therefore, wherever termite activity occurs, it is not necessarily the place where the nest is located. However, there are three or one of the main signs of exposure, and it can be concluded that there must be termite nests in a very close place, so be confident and look carefully.
