Will there be termites in winter?
why do termites still exist in winter?
In winter, termite activity can indeed be affected by temperature. Due to the cooler temperatures, termites will be less active. However, this does not mean that termites disappear completely in winter.
Reason 1
With the continuous improvement of people's living standards, a large number of air conditioners, floor heating and other methods of heating, which will increase the indoor temperature and provide a good living environment for termites. In this case, termites may move near the nest and wreak havoc indoors.
Reason two
In addition, the life cycle of termites includes four stages: egg, larva, pupa and adult, among which the larval and pupa stages are very sensitive to temperature and humidity. In cold environments, termites can be greatly affected in their growth and development, but in warm indoor environments, it is still possible for them to reproduce and grow.

Even in winter, we need to be vigilant and take care of termite damage. If you notice termite sightings indoors, you can seek help from LBS to eliminate the termite threat once and for all.

Termites are known as "toothless tigers" and love to gnaw on wood, floors and even wallpaper, causing serious damage to furniture. Therefore, it is very important to know termites, find termites, and prevent them as soon as possible, so what are the hazards of termites?
The picture comes from the Internet.
Destruction of the environment
Destroying trees and gardens, eroding trees and greenery, causing them to rot and die. At the same time, after destroying the load-bearing structure inside the tree, it is likely to cause the trunk to break and fall to pedestrians in windy or rainy and snowy weather.
Destruction of buildings
The damage caused by termites to buildings is very serious, especially brick and wood structures. Termites often hide inside the wood and are difficult for us to spot. At the same time, it is also easy to damage the bearing point, causing the collapse of the house, causing great harm to the residents and cultural relics and ancient buildings.
Destruction of crops
Termites can wreak havoc on crops such as sugarcane, cassava, and other crops. Termites are social pests, and when they attack crops, they cause widespread crop deaths.
Destruction of furniture
Solid wood sofas, TV cabinets, wine cabinets, etc. are very easy to be eaten by termites. In addition, termites can also eat wood products, especially those that have not been used for a long time or are present in a damp environment.
Destroy the cable and electrical appliances
Termites can eat away at electrical wires, exposing the conductive layer and triggering short circuits**. At the same time, termites will also move in the cable pipe, gnawing away the insulating outer layer of the cable, resulting in the exposure of the metal layer, short circuit, and fire risk.

1.Termites love to eat woody materials, so first observe whether there are signs of termite erosion in the equipment made of wood in the room.
2.Look for termite shedding wings on windowsills or in the corners of the floor.
3.Check the corners of the walls for falling plaster, and also pay attention to the floor for dropping.
4.If you can hear a hollow sound when you knock on wooden boards, doors and windows in the risk area, it is likely that termites are moving.
Second treatment
Nest digging method: manually dig out the ant nest and control its reproduction. This method is best carried out in winter, due to the cold weather, a large number of termites are present in the nest, which can completely eliminate termites, and it is best to apply some termite medicine after digging the nest.
Bait method: Spray termite drugs in termite risk areas so that they carry the powder on their bodies. When termites carrying the powder return to the nest, they will pass the powder to other termites, causing the entire nest of termites to be poisoned and die.
Booby trap method: Termite trapping can be done using a "termite booby trap", in which wood is placed in the box to lure termite erosion. Wait until the number of termites in the wooden box reaches a certain number, and you can carry out killing and spraying.
Take a look at my room Chemical control method: through residual spraying, the drug will directly contact the termite body, or the risk area such as habitat and breeding place. Professionals with expertise in termite control can protect your property!
