Termites
The hot and humid climate in Hong Kong is suitable for termites to breed and their wood-eating habits can cause serious damage and erosion to wooden furniture and structures.
They can cause serious damage and erosion to wooden furniture and building structures, often resulting in high repair losses.
Behavior & Habits
Termites can be broadly classified as worker, soldier, swarmer and queen.
common location
Toilet kitchen door frame/moisture location/wooden floor
reason
Termites prefer moist wood and cardboard, wood products, and wood furniture
damage and destruction
They multiply quickly and eat up a lot of furniture and building materials, damaging the structure and causing property damage.
mention you
Termites are different from other ants, so you should not spray insecticide on your own, as it will spread and aggravate the infestation.

Close windows in hot and humid weather/rainy days to prevent swarmer from nesting in the house; reduce the use of wooden building materials and furniture; carry out pest control before moving into a new house

Termite Signs
Brown mud road
Mud blocks or mud lines on walls, door frames or footings are actually mud paths made by their excrement, which are channels that can keep their body temperature and humidity.
Detached wings
The presence of shed wings of flying ants near the window sill indicates that the ants have entered the house and started breeding.
Wood expansion
Termites will travel through the interior of the wood and make mud paths with their excrement to make the wood swell.
Thin wood furniture and hollow sounding wood
Termites will erode the wood from the inside out, leaving only a thin wooden surface, and a hollow or thin sound will be heard when you knock on the wood.
Termite Sources
New Home Move-in
Wooden building materials or furniture brought in during the renovation.
Swarmer
During the breeding season, swarmer will fly into the house through the windows to breed.
Termites in the building
Termites in the building/neighborhood can use pesticides to speed up their breeding and escape to other neighbors.
