What Is termite?
Termite is that type of an insect which can be destructive for a newly or old constructed house. Specially for houses that have lots of solid wood used during finishing works such as in doors, wardrobes and kitchen cabinets etc. Termites are considered to be one of the most destructive pests in the world. They are found everywhere specially in newly developed societies where most of the plots or land surrounding your house is empty or has old trees that attract termites.
Termites are a serious threat to your newly or old constructed homes and buildings because they are difficult to detect. Ground nesting termites eats up the buildings and its structure. While, wood nesting termites eats wood in houses like wooden fence, wooden stairs or any wooden furniture.
Signs of termite in a house
Most significant signs of termite presence in a house is the emergence of mud tubes on walls in irregular but upward direction as shown in picture below. If these kind of tubes exist on internal or external walls of your house then it definitely means that termite is damaging wood items of your house.
Termite Treatment
Termites exist in form of family and a colony that has a king and queen responsible for reproduction till the family reaches a certain size. For a house to be completely safe from a termite attack, precautionary measures are mandatory at the time of construction at certain stages to prevent this colony from being nourishing. These precautionary measures are termed as “anti termite spray” or “termite treatment”. Sometimes it is also referred to as “termite proofing”, however in reality there is no thing as termite proofing because there is no medicine that can completely eradicate or kill the termites. Termite treatments keep the insects away from the area within which treatment has been done.
Types of Termite Treatment
- Pre-construction treatment
- Post Construction Treatment
