Termites are born with instincts that aid in their preservation. These instincts are what help them to work together, defend their colony, and protect their queen. If this natural behaviour isn’t taken into consideration when applying comejen pest control in Panama, the control method will fail.
One of the primary ways termite control fails is by killing termites too quickly. There are lots of products that kill termites, but when termites don’t return to their colony, it does not go unnoticed. This can cause a termite nest to take many defensive measures to protect itself. The secret to effective termite control is linked to overcoming this natural defence.
Killing the comejen in a man-made structure isn’t enough to keep it safe. Those termites will regroup and find another spot to attack. It is vital to attack the colony that sent those worker termites, and destroy it.
What Are Signs Of Termites?
If you suspect comejen are in your home, keep watch for some of the following signs of termite activity:
- As termites chew through wood in your home, they may leave walls and floors sounding hollow. Tap gently on these areas to determine if a termite treatment is needed.
- You may hear soft rustling in the walls at night as a result of termites chewing and tunneling.
- Floors around your home may start sinking, and doors and windows can become stuck as the longer termites chew the wood around your home.
- You may see frass, which termites kick out from their tunnels (it looks like small wood shavings), near baseboards, windowsills, and doorjambs.
To prevent termites from entering your property in the first place, you can follow some of the below prevention tips.
- Reduce soil to wood contact around your property. You can put up a barrier of rocks between soiled areas and your foundation to stop termites from easily entering your house.
- Store firewood and other lumber far away from your home to prevent termites that may be hiding in the wood from crossing over into your property.
- Repair and replace any moisture-damaged wood either inside or outside your home to deter termites from coming inside in search of an easy meal.
