Termites are a common household pest that often infest wood, cotton products, paper, and other substances. However, termites do not bite directly. The structure of termites' mouthparts can only be used to chew and absorb food, not to bite or engage in other aggressive behaviors.
However, termites can indirectly affect human life by eroding and destroying items such as furniture, upholstery materials, etc. If termites are found to have eaten away at furniture or other items, they need to be treated in a timely manner.
Methods of termite eradication include: the use of pesticides, incineration, fumigation, etc. Among them, the use of pesticides is the most commonly used method. When spraying pesticides, you need to take care to protect yourself and avoid drug poisoning or contact with sensitive areas such as eyes. You can use creeping insecticide powder and sprinkle it on termite-infested areas and holes in your home, so that in the process of termite activity, you will come into contact with the agent, and then the agent will spread widely in the termite colony, and then destroy all termites.
In addition, measures to prevent termite invasion are also important. For example, keeping the room dry, removing wood waste, and plugging crevices can all effectively reduce the breeding and living space of termites.
In conclusion, although termites do not bite directly, they can still cause a lot of trouble to humans. Knowing how to get rid of termites and how to deal with termite-infested items can help us better protect our home.
