How to Get Rid of Termites From Your Bed
WouterTermites can enter your home through cracks and crevices. They eat cellulose, which is a substance found in plants and in most fabrics. They prefer to stay in the walls or the floors.
They can damage mattresses and wooden furniture. Termites can be identified and eliminated by a pest control company. They will send a licensed technician who will use EPA-registered products to eliminate the infestation.
They look like pale ant-like creatures. They have a rigid hierarchy. They will make small bites and leave fecal pellets, which are like sawdust. The fecal pellets are used by the termite to mark its territory. The poop is kicked out through small tunnels.
Usually, a termite infestation will start about three months ago. If you see mounds of sawdust on your mattress, you may be a victim of a termite attack. If you want to eliminate the Termites from your bed, you can spray vinegar with acetic acid and then expose it to sunlight.
If you don’t want to kill the termites on your bed, you can soak the mattress and bedding in a borax solution. You will have to repeat the process every two or three days. You should also wash the beddings regularly with a boric acid powder.
Alternatively, you can use a pyrethroid pesticide spray. These are available in your local hardware store. You should make sure that the spray is used thoroughly.
If you have a problem with termites in your bed, you should contact your local pest control company. The best thing to do is to avoid having woodpiles in your house.
