Welcome To NYC Pest Control Exterminator Treatment Help, NYC!
Termites, sometimes known as white ants,
are a group of social insects. Termites usually prefer to feed on dead
plant material, generally in the form of wood, leaf litter, or soil and can
cause serious structural damage to buildings, crops or plantation forests. Because of their wood-eating habits, termites sometimes do great damage to buildings and other wooden structures.
Their habit of remaining concealed often results in their presence being
undetected until the timbers are severely damaged and exhibit surface changes.
Once termites have entered a building they do not limit themselves just to wood,
also damaging paper, cloth, carpets, and other cellulosic materials.
Termites
Colony!
As social insects, termites live in colonies that, at
maturity, number from several hundred to several million individuals. A
typical colony contains nymphs (semi-mature young), workers, soldiers, and
reproductive individuals of both genders, sometimes containing several
egg-laying queens.
A female that has flown, mated and is producing eggs, is called a
"Queen". At maturity, a primary queen can lay several thousand eggs a day. A
male that has flown, mated and remains in proximity to a queen, is termed a
"King". The king remains only slightly bigger than an average termite and
continues to mate with the queen for life.
Worker
termites undertake the labours of foraging, food storage, brood, nest
maintenance and some of the defense effort in certain species. Workers are the
main caste in the colony. They are generally blind due to undeveloped eyes.
Despite this limitation they are able to create elaborate nests and tunnel
systems using a combination of soil, chewed wood /cellulose, saliva and faeces.
Some species have been known to create such durable walls that industrial
machinery has been damaged in an attempt to break their tall mounds.
The soldier caste has anatomical and behavioural specializations,
primarily useful against ant attack. The proportion of soldiers within a colony
varies both within and between species. Many soldiers have jaws so enlarged that
they cannot feed themselves, but instead, like juveniles, are fed by workers.
For Avoiding
Termites!
Avoide contact of susceptible timber with
ground by using termite-resistant concrete, steel or masonry foundation
with appropriate barriers.
New buildings should be constructed with
embedded physical termite barriers so that there are no easy means for
termites to gain concealed entry.
Use of timber that is naturally resistant
to termites such as Canarium australianum (Turpentine Tree), Callitris
glaucophylla (White Cypress), or one of the Sequoias. Note that there is
no tree species whose every individual tree yields only timbers that are
immune to termite damage, so that even with well known termite-resistant
timber types, there will occasionally be pieces that are attacked.
When termites have already penetrated a
building, the first action is usually to destroy the colony with
insecticides before removing the termites' means of access and fixing the
problems that encouraged them in the first place. Baits (feeder stations) with
small quantities of disruptive insect hormones or other very slow acting toxins
have become the preferred least-toxic management tool in most western countries.

Most commonly treatment entails drilling holes around perimeter of structure
and the application of Phantom EPA Reg # 241-392 into the soil that surround the
structure. Then the sealing of all holes that were created to apply
pesticides.
