All about termites and ways to combat them

Termites are an insect that lives in societies called colonies with an estimated number from 30,000 to 2.5 million individuals and feeds on cellulose available in many daily human uses (clothing - paper - carpets - carpets - mats - curtains - pillows and mattresses - wooden furniture). Termite colony cults: 1- The worker: It is responsible for all the damage caused by termite infections as it feeds and nurtures all colony colonies, and represents about 97% of the colony's population and its color is faded, sterile, and blind. 2- Soldiers: He is responsible for guarding and protecting the colony with strong and toothy jaws, and the head is dark in color and represents one third of the length of the body and the rest of the body is light faded color, and the number reaches from 1 - 3% of the colony population and the insect is sterile and blind. 3- Individual winged sexual fertile individuals: Two fertile, winged individuals appear in the fall and spring whose color is dark and have eyes to see and wings which are fertile and turn into queens and kings to create new colonies. 4- The Queen: It is the result of fertile sexual individuals. There is a single queen in the colony and works to link all members of the colony and produce eggs, where it lays about 6 eggs per minute, and only one king lives with it in the colony. Termite damage: Termites feed on cellulose, which is found in nature differently, for example. Houses and installations He attacks houses built of raw bricks, as well as cement. In the first, the underground termites extract parts of the figs from the inside of the bricks and work to separate them from the inside, which leads to the collapse of the building. It can also attack human property through walls such as cupboards, stored materials, fabrics, doors, wooden windows, etc. .

In the case of concrete buildings, he attacks wood, doors, windows, wood furniture, and parquet floors, by breaking through the concrete barriers. Shaun and silos It causes great losses in the loss of grains that are fed on it, as well as the containers containing it, and in the face, it attacks dates, corn, and crops that are spread on the ground for the purpose of drying in the sun or by the heat of the air. the trees It attacks palm trees and fruit trees of all kinds and causes drying and death of trees or obtaining a crop of low value and quantity. Crops It attacks all types of crops cultivated in termite-infected lands, and such infections are concentrated in the Upper Egypt regions such as sugar cane, corn, wheat and sesame. It also attacks stored crops such as rice, dates, wheat, etc. Other sources Such as books, papers, records, railroad flanges, telegraph columns, telephone, cardboard, clothing, and simplicity. . And others. Manifestations of termite infection Raw bricks have injuries and tunnels In houses built with raw bricks, the walls are destroyed, and they are deflated from the inside. The adherence of the mats and mats is adhered to the ground and when removed it tears and shows the effects of eating ants from the ants and the presence of parts of the soil where they erode. Eat adjacent wood such as cupboards, etc., windows, doors, and roofs made from tree logs. At night, he hears a crackling fire. The floors made of wood (parquet) are eroded and, when removed, see the soil where the food is eaten. Mud pipes, other than walls and windows, start from the ground and extend to the source of the injury.

Infected wood roof In the case of shaun and grain stores, it is possible to see the adhesion of the sachets and the sprouts to the floor and torn as a result of eating insects In the case of trees, tunnels and clay masses are seen on the trunks of trees, and the presence of clay layer on the lower part of the tree trunk with dryness and burning of the ends of branches and the appearance of a black color. In the case of crops, the dryness of crops and the appearance of wilt are observed, despite the availability of water in the soil and the presence of foci free of plants that gradually extend to the whole field and the death of plants.

The walls are demolished and deflated from the inside Termite Control: 1. In the affected lands designated for construction, the land is cleaned from the residues of cellulosic materials such as straw, husks, woods, and dry plants. A trench is made around the building with a width of 30 cm and a depth of 30 cm surrounding the area and adjacent to the walls and walls of the building. Construction should not be done on the entire treated area, but construction requires an area less than the treated area by at least half a meter from each side. Palm injury and the presence of clay soil 1. In concrete buildings, all the concrete columns are treated with abundant sprinkling from the bottom of the soil surface up to a distance of at least one meter, and wood windows and other wood parts are treated with the pesticide solution dissolved in kerosene before performing the different paints process. 2. The need for adequate ventilation holes and adequate lighting in the rooms. 3. Failure to treat wooden walls and ceilings with pesticides in homes even if they were infected. 4. In the case of shaun, a concrete base with a thickness of at least (5 cm) is made as a forging floor after performing the previous treatment in the municipal buildings (spraying the land on which the terrace is) or the treatment of pallet woods that the sacks are lined with after waxed bedding before sealing the sacks. Therapeutic control methods: 1. Pesticide solutions are made to treat infected buildings by treating all the wood in the building with the wood solution in the building with the pesticide solution dissolved in kerosene. Make a trench around the building adjacent 2. A trench is made around the building and affixed to the wall with a width of 30 x 30 cm depth and sprayed with a pesticide solution at a rate of 4 liters of solution per square meter then the soil is filled 3. Holes are made in the floors, whether tiles, soil, or parquet, at a per-square per square meter, and then treated by pushing the spray solution at a rate of 4 liters per per-hole. 4. In the case of affected trees, a trench is made around the tree 50 cm from the trunk (30 x 30). With tunnels and clay blocks broken, therapeutic traps are placed in the trench and the soil is quenched. The most important pesticides used: 1. Water emulsions: (Dorspan 4TC, 2% - Nurban 48% M (2%). 1. Dissolved solutions: (Drospan 4 TC at 6 cm3 / L - Purpan 48% M at 6 cm / L). Predicting infectious termitesPredicting infection in the field of pest control is important as it reduces injury and makes the damage worse or prevents it altogether before it occurs, which saves a lot of time, time and costs in the control work, in addition to protecting the environment from pollution as much as possible and the severity of the subterranean termite insects concentrate in not seeing the insect itself Immediately but only the effects of its attack and the damage it causes. One way to predict infection is the Sevenfold trap. Trap components and installation The trap consists mainly of the body of the trap made of corrugated board, length (15 cm) and diameter (5 - 7 cm). The body of the trap is covered with polyethylene (kesnylon) encapsulated from one end and the other end extends to about (2 cm) before the end of the trap and fixed with a connecting stick. The trap body made of corrugated cardboard works mainly as a cellulosic material that attracts the insect, in addition to the inserts on it working on the presence of industrial tunnels that entice the insect to be present internally for the longest time, in addition to the insect feeding on the trap itself and the polyethylene (nylon bag) keeps the trap moisture for the longest period A possible time to attract the insect. Thus, the insect has both food (cellulose), moisture (moistening the trap), and darkness (burial under the ground). At daytime, the temperature rises and the water evaporates from the trap, thus remaining valid for more than a month.This is done in three ways: 1. Corrosion of the carton. 2. The presence of insects in the wrinkles of the carton. 3. The presence of soil attached to the trap where the erosion. How to useThe trap is placed in water to the point of wetness and then buried on the ground surface and the nylon bag is on the ground. Traps are collected, inspected and changed monthly.The expected benefits of the trap: 1. One of the most important means of identifying the presence of an insect 2. It is used to estimate the efficacy and effectiveness of pesticides used in control. 3. When needed to protect economic places and predict an attack from an insect before damage occurs. 4. Used to conduct environmental studies on the insect. 5. They are used as poison baits, whether chemical or biological. Trap placement places 1. For places treated with pesticides where the treatment is evaluated and its duration. 2. About economically important places (paper mills, ammunition, timber, stores, etc.) 3. Where to set up new cities to predict whether or not they exist, as well as reclamation places in new lands. 4. When applying the control to know the places and number of colonies to reduce the amount of pesticides used and the costs of control in the case of limited injury, which is a flat injury case and its contents internally from furniture and parquet and any wooden products fumigation (smoking) by methyl bromide gas where the period of closing the treated place is three days and when ventilation by specialists The place is left for another two to three days, to not coexist in the treated place until the existing gas is sublimated and the ventilation done well in the event of unlimited injury, which is the injury of most apartments in the apartment building or termite injuries to the concrete blocks. The walls and insects have built external houses located on the surface of the walls, and so the building is completely evaporated so that all residents agree on that and with the place left for a period of no less than three days or 72 hours as a minimum and a period of two days ventilation places provided that the ventilation is done with the knowledge of specialists Notes: * Evaporation With methyl bromide, it eliminates the present from all insects and their insect phases and does not work as a protection against insects, as it is a gas that transcends ventilation * After the evaporation process, if it happens that the winged termite again attacked the building or apartment, it must be sprayed with any insecticide while it is in the winged insect, so it is easy to die It is not left to live long Other insects because they are insects coming from outside the building, and this happens in the migration season and starts from the end of March to October, and more in April, May, and September and October * Take into account the spraying of pesticides that contain an effective substance Chloro-levros in the ground before the construction of buildings with the paint of concrete and walls below Soil upon construction until the first floor with a layer of bitumen in order to reduce the injury from the subterranean termites as well as the partial infected in the Smouha region * termites may infect the leaves and feed on them such as erosion of some manuscripts one hundred years old in India manifestations of injury the appearance of winged individuals in the seasons of migration and is characterized by that i The wings are more than twice the length of the belly of insects, winged insects, external houses on the surface of the walls inside which white termites live, having what resembles sand with more roundness ... It is insect droppings that flow from some holes of infected wood and are known as digested woods. Yeast may be similar to imported beer. The presence of this insect In wood that has been hollowed out by the accumulation of broken wings, termite insect size A) Male termites are about 10 mm long. B) The termite queen is about 15 mm long and has a white stomach. C) Termites are about 7 mm long and have normal jaws. D) The termite solder is about 10 mm long and is characterized by strong jaws. And transferred from the Egyptian newspaper Al-Ahram, the following termites turned into a problem that haunts the people of Alexandria and causes them great losses. Many areas of the governorate witnessed attacks of legions that exceeded their danger of damaging wooden furniture in homes to dig tunnels beneath the foundations of buildings and try to damage even concrete cement, which is what specialists warn of as It represents a danger to the housing units, and directly threatens their residents, which causes the families to submit thousands of reports to the officials in the area.  It is rude to work to end their suffering with termite armies, says Dr. Hussein Abdullah - Professor of Economic Insects, Executive Director of the Economic Insects Unit, for Control and Production at the Faculty of Agriculture - Termite is one of the most dangerous insect pests that affect wood and its products as well as grazing trees and crops, as it affects homes, manufactured wood and furniture And wooden floors .. The termite infection is spread in most parts of the country, especially adjacent to the sea and the Gulf, and causes huge losses estimated in millions, in addition to that the termites are a social insect living in large colonies consisting of a few p Of millions of individuals with white colors or yellowing, where inhabit the soil, timber and adapted to some serious these types of living inside homes, causing severe damage to everything inside wood homes in record time since the start of the injury. He adds that termites feed on wood and wood products that contain cellulose, as it can digest cellulose due to the presence of primary microorganisms within the gut that supply it with the enzymes needed for digestion, and although the termites have a loose body it is equipped with hard teeth that can cut wood and feed on it .. Also, termites can feed on paper products, floors, paints, wall papers, books, clothes, textiles, and furnishings inside homes, and about widespread termites and areas where they collect it says that there are several types of termites, including subterranean ants. P is one of the most dangerous types of ants, as the colony includes more than 7 million individuals. Members of this species live under the surface of the soil and feed on wood near the surface of the soil and buried in it or on the surface of the soil, which is the most important species that causes damage at the level of the world and lives in tunnels and consists of The soil is mixed with wood, waste, and insect secretions .. This type is mainly spread in agricultural areas and adapts to cities with concrete buildings and buildings built on agricultural land where it is attracted to the moisture generated in the walls from water leakage from pipes and water and sewage tanks and then builds its colonies under o The building is under or under floors, and it occupies wave voids in empty brick walls and extends its tunnels inside it to reach the doors and windows .. When the injury intensifies, tunnels can be seen on the walls of buildings from the outside and from the inside, and Dr. Mamdouh Idris, professor of economic insects at the Faculty of Agriculture - assures that This type of termite spreads to entire houses, buildings and areas, according to complaints received by the Economic Insects Unit at the Faculty of Agriculture and the symptoms of injury represented by the destruction of wooden and parquet floors and door and window frames, as ventilation tunnels appear inside the affected wood and The corridors within which the subterranean termites walk on the walls and walls and their sections with a question .. Why do the screams of citizens in the eastern region in particular, in particular, increase? He replied: The type of termites that appeared and spread in the eastern region is considered to be underground, because the eastern region was a past years ago an agricultural area rich in organic materials and the ground water level is high and also infected with termites under the ground and after the spread of construction and the increase in building and construction movement in that region the problem started As the soil has not been treated with the necessary pesticides and specialized to combat this type of termite, it was a fierce attack on wood in residential buildings, alongside that one of the most important problems in the eastern region is that a very large number of apartments are closed, thus being a fertile source of infection for the rest Residential apartments, it was helped by this that this species feeds on wood from the inside with distance from the surface layer of wood, so the infection is so widespread that Dr. Mamdouh Idris continues his speech by saying: The environmental conditions contribute greatly to the spread of this type of pest where moisture forms an environment Like me in order to generate this insect and this humidity resulting from water leakage from tanks and sewage pipes .. This is in addition to an important factor for the atmosphere is the nature of the eastern region climate, which is characterized by high humidity in general and this increases the possibility of the seriousness of this type of termite that spreads image Scary with blood Al-Khobar, Al-Qatif, Dhahran, Al-Azizia, Khozama, Al-Jisra, Al-Rakka, Green Belt, Golden Belt, Doha, Al-Dana, Saihat, Safwa, and Jubail. On the other types of termites that afflict most of the eastern regions, it says: There is a dry white ant that nourishes its members on dry timber .. Its colonies are complete inhabiting Dry wood on the surface of the earth, such as wood, furniture, bedrooms, salons, doors and windows. This type is characterized by the slow growth of its colonies due to the severity of the dryness of the woods in which it lives as well due to its minimal water needs. And for science, wood with this type drops small pellets, pellets that resemble sand grains, which are semi-digested wood that is produced by nymphs of termites .. and this type is spread in most of the eastern regions, it leads to the destruction of wooden furniture and furniture within a short time. At the time of migration, the colony is inside it and needs a high percentage of humidity. It often affects damaged wood, and in general it is considered of little economic importance. The control is costly. As for Dr. Maher Ibrahim - Professor of Pesticides and Executive Director of the Pest Control and Environmental Protection Unit - he believes that the spread of termites has become widespread in most of the eastern regions, and environmental conditions and the urban movement have contributed to the spread of termites besides the transported soil [backfill] from the affected place For another free from ants .. In this sense, it confirms a problem that is increasing in a big way, and now the losses have reached hundreds of thousands of riyals and if they do not combine
