1. The main reason why termites breed is that the home is humid, so the home environment must be kept dry and clean. You can sprinkle some quicklime in the corner, beside the sewer, etc. , and dehumidification when necessary;
2. Check the furniture, clothes and food corroded by termites, and place the food and clothes not corroded by termites;
3. If the number of termites is already very large, it is necessary to choose chemicals to kill termites. Spray household termite control agents in places where termites often appear or are corroded by termites. It is recommended to find a professional pest control company to deal with it;

Second, why are termites called termites? Termites, also known as insects, belong to Arthropoda, Insecta, Isoptera, similar to the social life of ant camps. Their social processes are queen, queen, soldier ant and worker ant. Although termites and ants are collectively called ants, from the taxonomic position, termites belong to low-level semi-metamorphosed insects and ants belong to high-level fully metamorphosed insects.
Judging from fossils, termites may have evolved from ancient ORTHOPTERA insects and first appeared in Permian 200 million years ago. The morphological characteristics of termites are obviously different from those of ants. Termites are soft and small, usually long and round, white, light yellow, reddish brown to dark brown. You can move freely with your mouth in front of your head or with your mouth down. Antennas are rosary, the ventral base is solid, and the front and rear wings are equal; Antennas of ants are knee-shaped, the base of abdomen is thin, and the front wings are larger than the rear wings.
In China's ancient books, ants, flies, ephemera, locusts and stingers are all confused with ants. The name of termites began to appear in the Song Dynasty, and it was determined to be another name for termites. Termites are distributed in tropical and subtropical regions and feed on wood or cellulose. Termites are polymorphic social insects with strict division of labor. Once the group organization is destroyed, it is difficult to survive. There are more than 2000 known species in the world. Except Australian termites, more than 300 species of other 4 families are unknown in China. It is widely distributed.
Methods to prevent termites from flying into the house 1, termite control in the house, which is the key to prevent termites. Termite control should be carried out in newly built, rebuilt, expanded and renovated houses. This is to cut off the termite food left by the construction site, indirectly eliminate termites and reduce the possibility of termite survival.
2. Pretreatment of building decoration materials to avoid bringing termites indoors. Pretreatment can be done by brushing and termite soaking, or by high temperature above 60℃. In decoration and termite control, it is best to spray the house comprehensively after the renovation of the indoor wall, which will destroy the overall termite living space.
3. Keep indoor and outdoor clean, dry and ventilated. Most winged adults fly indoors from outside, so in the evenings of June and July, doors and windows should be closed or screens installed to prevent termites from flying indoors.
