How to Vacuum Up Termites
WouterTermites are small insects that live in and around your home. Their main purpose is to eat wood. When they eat, they leave a small hole in the wood. This is how they get inside your house.
To protect your home, you should keep firewood and lumber away from the foundation of your home. You should also trim shrubs. This will increase the air circulation in your home and help prevent termites.
If you see signs of termites, you should call a pest control company to come and treat your home. Professional pest control technicians use comprehensive methods to kill the bugs. The cost of this service is usually about $100.
One of the easiest ways to spot a termite infestation is to look for the presence of a swarm. These are swarms of a specific species of termites. If you have a swarm, it means that the termites have just escaped your home and are looking for a new location.
If you’re unsure of what type of termites you have, contact a pest control expert. Termite swarms are usually outside and can be dangerous, so make sure to be safe while you’re removing them.
A common mistake people make is trying to kill swarms. The best way to do this is to vacuum them up. A swarm will die and cannot spread once you put them in a plastic bag.
You should also try to save any dead termites you find. If you are unable to vacuum up the nest, you can purchase an insecticide spray to kill the flying termites.
