What is Termite & Getting Rid of Termites (Solution & Treatment)

What is “Termites” (DEEMAK) and How to Control it

Termites are small insects that feed on wood and can cause significant damage to homes and other wooden structures. There are two main types of termites: subterranean and drywood.

To get rid of termites, you can use a variety of methods depending on the severity of the infestation. Here are some common solutions:

1. Boric acid baits: Boric acid is a common and effective way to dispatch termites. It shuts down the termite’s nervous system while dehydrating it, so it will quickly kill any termites that come into contact with it. Boric acid baits can be placed around your home, both inside and outside. However, it will take care of only termites appearing on surface and would not control termite’s colony present underneath the soil. Hence it’s a short term solution.
2. Pesticides: If you know exactly where the termite colony is, you can drill holes along the structure and inject the wood with pesticides to kill the termites once they come into contact with it. It is strongly recommended to get this professional treatment done by qualified and approved pest control company.
3. Heat treatment: This is a non-chemical way to kill drywood termites, but it must be done by a professional. Wooden structures are heated to 120 °F (49 °C) to kill drywood termites. This treatment is not available in Pakistan.
4. Beneficial nematodes: These are small worms that can be released into the soil to kill subterranean termites. This is mostly applied on agricultural fields and farms.
5.
