אז ככה קוראים להם טרמיטים והם מחסלי עץ, מאוד קשה להפטר מהם, אמת אם יש לכם נמלים אז לא יהיו לכם טרמיטים (זה ברצינות - אם כי לא מנחם...) מצ"ב משהו שאבא שלי שלח לי באנגלית, אם צריכה תרגום סבבה אשלח לך.
אצלם הארונות ניצלו, אבל הכסאות נאלצו ללכת לעולם שכולו... בעיקרון הכי יעיל הדבר fumagation אבל זה מאוד מאוד מאוד רעיל, אז יש פה "תוצרת בית" (עדיין צריך זהירות).
בהצלחה BORIC ACID dissolved in water and painted on affected area will keep termites at bay for years. This is a wood treatment, often used in the preventative stages, but many believe it also helps curb current population growth.
HEAT TREATMENT is a good alternative to chemical fumigation, and very effective at ridding dry-wood termites from your home. During heat treatments, nylon tarps are used to tent the infested wood and their pests. Propane heat is then connected to the tent and blown into the structure, heating the exterior and interior walls to 120-degrees F for up to one hour. This treatment works well for large infestations.
FREEZING. When only small areas have been infested by termites, a freezing process is used. Liquid nitrogen is pushed into afflicted structures, freezing walls and termites in their tracks. This process is used on very selective areas and is most effective at the beginning stages of growth.
ELECTRICITY. By means of high voltage electrical shocks, termites can be destroyed instantly, wherever their location. Electro-guns must be used in the direct vicinity of termite colonies, but are effective in treating large populations of termites which are confined to a relatively small area.
MICROWAVES. Small areas, such as windows, doors, and short walls can be treated with microwave rays. Small microwave looking devices shoot rays through walls and kill termites within 2-3 days.
TERMITE PREVENTION
OBSERVE. Keeping an eye on things is your best defense against serious termite infestations. Most termites are discovered between March and May, when soil is moist. Check the foundation area around your home for spoiled soil and moldy or rotten wood.
PREPARE. Subterranean termites, which cause damage by reaching wood underground, can be kept away from wooden structures by using pressure-treated woods and concrete which has been chemically treated with dieldrin. Reinforcing concrete foundations is another way to prevent infestation. By extending concrete foundations at least 5-inches above the ground, subterranean termites will be unable to reach the wood or the interior of your home.
BUILD SMART. When building, use termite-resistant woods like cedar, juniper, and redwood.
ELIMINATE MOISTURE. Termites must live in a high humidity environment. By eliminating moisture, you'll prevent future problems. Remove moist soil near the foundation of your home, clean up standing water, fix plumbing leaks, and place polyethylene in crawl spaces and cracks to add a moisture barrier between the soil and your home's foundation.
GET RID OF THE MOLD. Termites thrive on moldy wood. You can prevent wood from molding by pruning back plants, bushes, and shrubbery close to your home's foundation.
SEAL IT. Seal woods which will be exposed to moisture. Using an all-weather wood sealer on patios, window frames, door frames, and at wall edges will deter termites.
REPAIR. Cracks, crevices, broken seals, split wood and similar items should be repaired immediately.
TERMITE ALARMS are fairly new to the market, but have shown promise in detecting termites who are moving into your home area. By placing a series of alarm systems around the perimeter of your property, alarms are able to monitor activity, and report any termite colonies.
HOME TREATMENT. You can treat your own by adding 1-ounce of citrus oil to a gallon of warm water and spraying or painting it directly on to wood surfaces.
