Termite Problems

Today, we have an interesting story of “Termite” to tell you all. Termite is an important enemy of houses and buildings. Do you believe or not that termite can destroy your whole house? This is because it can eat both cellulose and rubber wrapped at the telephone lines or cables.

In reference with the information of the book and the website of the Science and Technology teaching Institute, it is found that there are over 2,000 species of termites in the world but some of those species like to stay in the wood of buildings. It's our lucky because those termites will bite everything made of wood or even rubber wrapped at the telephone lines or cables. This means house owners have to evacuate from their houses eventually. By the way, the termite is a useful animal because some termites living in the forest are able to decompose fossil as some bacterium.

Termite is a social animal who like to gather as a group and usually live in the termite hill. They make a living and take care of each other. The classes of termites are divided into 4 groups such as Termite Queen, Termite King, Termite Workers and Termite Soldiers.

When Termite Queen is mated, it will build a termite empire sufficient for its termite babies to grow. Also, the healthy Termite Queen has 9- 12 cm . length and when being pregnant, it cannot get round.

Termite workers are responsible for putting up and cleaning their Termite Queen by licking the body. Furthermore, while the Termite Queen lays eggs, the termite workers will carry and arrange the eggs as well as feed them.

However, Termite King has the only duty; breeding with the Termite Queen in the nighttime when their enemies like ants, gold bugs, wasps, chameleons, lizards, centipedes and people are sleeping. The time is effective for breeding.

Termite soldiers are interesting kind because they have fangs for protection from their enemies like ants who carry away eggs to eat. Even though, the ants are bigger as termite soldiers don't have any eye, termite soldiers can strongly protect their eggs. They will bite and let resin out to cover the ants. This will reek to deceive other termite soldiers to eat and kill the ants.

Proceedings of the National Academy of Sciences Journal, issue 99, page 6,838, in 2002, J. Traniello of Boston University in USA , it is reported that termites are vaccinated as humans. This is the main reason that makes this kind of animal have a long life – 200 million years. As diseases occur, surviving termites will have immunity that will be transmitted to other termites by transferring bacteria in the craw to other termites to eat. Therefore, the immune bacteria can transmit from one to others.

Nowadays, termites are disturbing humans' buildings around the world not except in USA . This is budgeted 45,000 million Baht/year for getting rid of termites.

Infrared camera is additional equipment for termite control; the infrared camera uses for lighting walls. Wherever termites are founded, the area will be very hot due to the expansion of the infrared rays.

Moreover, termite controller will transmit microwave to touch the walls. The wave that reflects out will make the controller know if termites are the inner wall. And when termites are discovered, then we get rid of them by numerous methods. The favourite way is the chemical usage which is quite complicated. If good protection is not taken, the chemical may cause dangers to residents.

If you want to build a house, you should initially protect termite problem by spraying chemical at the termite hills or wood and underground in order to ensure that all are killed. Anyway, you should ask for the professionals (Pest Control Service) to do it because the chemical for termite control is toxicant for creature including humans. So, spraying chemical should be in caution.

Termite Bait Station is a way to protect and get rid of termites by protection and examination around the buildings before the destruction by the termites and termite control by using chemical guaranteed by the Food and Drug Administration (FDA). You can assure of the safety from termite invasion.

The above information is obvious that termite control is a complicated task that should be extremely careful. So, even a little termites are found, you shouldn't ignore because they may bring big problems to you in the future.
