What environment do termites live in, and the environment that is suitable for termites to live

The living environment of termites is mainly related to temperature, humidity (moisture), air, light, and soil temperature.

Termites are thermophilic insects, and air temperature is the main factor affecting the distribution of termites, so termites are distributed on both sides of the equator, and the closer to the equator, the more species of termites there are, the greater the density, and the more complex the lifestyle.

According to the test, the optimal temperature of milk termites (house termites) in Taiwan is 25-30 degrees Celsius, and the lowest lethal temperature is -3 degrees Celsius, and all die after 7 days; -1 degrees Celsius, 9 days of all deaths; 1 degrees Celsius, 14 days of death; 4 degrees Celsius, 28 days of death; 8 degrees Celsius, more than 90% of deaths in 34 days; At 10 degrees Celsius, 80% of them are still living normally after a month and a half, and only a small number of them are dead or abnormal, so Taiwanese milk termites have a wide range of temperature adaptability.

Humidity (moisture).

Termite species with well-developed colonies require specialized moisture** to maintain the colony's moisture and humidity needs. The water content of termites is about 79%, and the water content of termite nests accounts for 30%-37%, with an average of 33%. It is an indisputable fact that termite colonies have special suction lines (suction ant paths) that lead to the source and are used to ensure the water needs of themselves and their nests.

In order to obtain the water required by their nests, the black-winged termites living on the embankment must have an ant road to the water source, and the place near the water source on the embankment is the reservoir water on the frontal slope, and the free water of the infiltration line and filter body in the embankment, so the dam termites will build ant roads to take water from these places with abundant water sources.

Air. Termites are colony creatures that live in a semi-enclosed nest system, and are self-contained in a dark nest system, and some jokingly call them "dwellers in the dark". This nest system has to communicate with the outside world and obtain oxygen in the air through various means, and expel the carbon dioxide produced by the respiration of the colony to the outside of the nest.

Termite nest systems are characterized by particularly high levels of carbon dioxide, tens to hundreds of times higher than those in the air.

Ray. Termites live in the nest for a long time and are photophobic in most individuals. However, the spread and development of termite colonies are inseparable from the light environment, and winged adults have phototaxis habits when they fly away from the colony.

Taiwan milk termites and black-winged soil termites often colonize in the evening, and the winged adults that fly away from the colony have strong phototaxis. Yellow-winged termites are carried out in the early hours of the morning, when the moon is bright. All winged adults are well-developed monocular and compound eyes, and like many other insects, they have a strong positive response to light—phototaxis. Therefore, the winged adult termites fly away from the old colony and establish a new colony, which is an indispensable and important condition.

The living environment of termites is mainly related to temperature, air, soil, humidity and light.

1. Temperature: termites are thermophilic, and temperature is the main factor affecting the distribution of termite rent, so termites are distributed on both sides of the equator, and there are many species and densities of termites near the equator, and the lifestyle is complex.

2. Air:

Termites are colony organisms that live in semi-enclosed nest systems, which are characterized by high levels of carbon dioxide, tens to hundreds of times higher than those of air cracks.

3. Soil:

Except for wood-dwelling termites that do not directly have any relationship with the soil, soil-dwelling termites have strict selection of soil. Soil is also the main component of the nest and path of terific termites.

4. Humidity:

Termite species with well-developed colonies require specialized moisture** to maintain the moisture and humidity of the colony, and water sources are essential.

5. Light:

Termites live in seclusion in nests for a long time, and in most individuals they are photophobic. However, the spread and development of termite colonies are inseparable from the light environment, and winged adults have phototaxis habits when they fly away from the colony. Termite winged adults fly away from the old colony and establish a new colony, which is an indispensable and important condition.

1.Keep the indoor and outdoor clean as round, remove the debris and slag foundation, place the indoor items in an orderly manner, and do not leave any waste that can attract termites, especially no wooden waste, paper, worn-out clothes, etc.

2.Termites are thermophilic insects, and air temperature is the main factor affecting the distribution of termites, so termites are distributed on both sides of the equator, and the closer to the equator, the more species of termites there are, the greater the density, and the more complex the lifestyle. Therefore, according to this characteristic, it can prevent the survival of termites very well.

3.Termites are living in a semi-enclosed nest system of group organisms, in the dark nest system self-contained, Feng Jian some people jokingly call it "dwellers in the dark", this nest system to contact with the outside world, and through various ways to obtain oxygen in the air, and the group respiration to produce carbon dioxide to the outside of the nest, the nest system is characterized by a particularly high carbon dioxide content, dozens of times to hundreds of times higher than the carbon dioxide content of the air. According to this property, the survival of termites can also be prevented.

Because termites have phototaxis habits, as long as there is light, termites will fly to the glowing place in swarms, and choose a good and moist location for mating and breeding, so the more humid and hot places with light, the more whitecore beam ants.

Termites are generally found in warmer and humid areas, and the closer to the equator, the more termites are distributed.

If you find that there are many termites in the room, it is recommended to do systematic insect repellent work in the damp corners of each wheel in the home, otherwise termites will multiply in large numbers and damage human physiological activities.

March to June every year is the season of termites, at this time there will be a lot of termites, usually we will see a large number of termites gathered under the street lamps outside. Especially in the hot and humid weather before the rain, you can see a large number of large ants gathering at this time. And this is also a good time for termites to enter the home.

So how do termites get to the house?

1. The doors and windows of the house are not closed properly, and termites fly directly into the home through the cracks in the doors and windows. In addition, the headlights at home will also attract termites to fly in, and termites like to gather in the old light.

2. The damp environment at home is also easy to breed termites, especially the wooden floors and wooden furniture at home, if it is damp, it is easy to provide a good living environment for termites.

3. There are termites when building the foundation, and if they are not cleaned, termites will easily come out of the house after the decoration is completed.

4. The green area on the first floor is generally prone to termites, and residents living on the lower floors are also prone to termites flying into their homes.

So how do you get rid of termites after they enter your home? Termites are exterminated by using termite medicine by using Cleaner Soldiers. It not only completely exterminates termites, but also has the effect of preventing termites. It is also a drug that has a good effect on termites in the home.

1. First of all, Jiebing must be a safe drug for people and pets, and it will not affect the normal cavity life after being used at home, so that the safety is also guaranteed.

2. It is simple to use, easy to operate, does not need professionals, and can be operated at home. When taking medicine, you only need to prepare a watering can, dilute the medicine and water at a ratio of 1:50 times and spray it directly.

3. The main location of spraying: the location of termite nests and termite gathering. In addition, the places in the home that are prone to termites are also sprayed, such as wall corners, wooden floors, ceilings, wooden furniture, etc., which are fully sprayed.

In addition to the location of termites, the wooden floors and wooden furniture at home are also sprayed, and comprehensive spraying can effectively prevent termites. After using the termite medicine, it can not only completely eliminate termites, but also have the effect of long-term termite prevention.
