MORE INFORMATION
Termites with wings
Termites, like ants, are organized by caste, that is, each type of termite fulfills a specific function in the colony. The reason why winged termites appear is because the colony has reached a large size and has the capacity to have new sub-colonies. This type of termite appears when the cold of winter passes and the first rise in temperature comes. year, in Chile this normally occurs in September, with the heat reproduction is activated and this type of termites appear in what we call nuptial flights, with the aim of expanding their colony and giving rise to a new queen and king.
Do you know what termites are like?
All termites, regardless of their species, are organized into castes where they all function around the queen with the main objective of expanding.
Among them we have the following organization:
- King Termite: Its only function is reproductive.
- Queen Termite: Like the king, it is responsible for ensuring the reproduction of the colony.
- Worker Termites: The workers are responsible for collecting food for the queen and the colony. They can travel long distances looking for food, once they find it they leave a trail of pheromones that attracts other workers, pointing out the food found.
- Soldier Termites: They defend the colony, they are sterile and wingless females, they are not able to eat on their own, so they do not damage the wood. In addition to eliminating intruders, such as ants, they are also responsible for repairing tunnels and reinforcing others that can sometimes be seen on the outside of the termite mound.
- Neotechnics: They are the secondary reproducers, that is, in case the king or queen dies, they will take their place.
- Winged Termites: They create new colonies, it is necessary that a female and a male of these manage to stay in a space that allows them to have their babies, in this way the female becomes queen and they form a new termite mound. They do not live long, therefore it is common to see many of these deaths during their mating season that begins in September.
How to eliminate termites?
If you need to exterminate termites, it is important to emphasize that a termite insecticide is not enough.
Insecticides kill the invader in front of them, however they do not eliminate the colony. The termite mound is where the termites are born, organize themselves and take care of their queen. This is where you should attack, therefore each treatment to eliminate termites is studied and requires a technical visit.
At Neoplagas we are specialists in termite control and we are constantly learning or creating new treatments to control the growth of the problem and prevent it.
What type of damage do termites cause?
Termites have a well-known reputation as destroyers of structures and have even been recorded as responsible for the collapse of homes and buildings.
Such cases only occur when there is an uncontrolled and growing population of these insects. Which can happen if the problem is not detected in time.
Termites that feed on wood (xylophagous) are sensitive and delicate insects that do not present a threat on their own, however together they can destroy any structural beam. Devouring it from the inside, all this to bring food to the queen who is dedicated to having offspring that tomorrow will be workers, soldiers or winged ones that will seek to have their own colony.
They are fast and have strong jaws that eat wood. They do not present harm to human health, but failure to treat them can seriously affect structures that could end up giving way due to the weakening of the materials produced by termites.
Types of termites in Chile
In Chile the most present species are Subterranean Termite, Dry Wood Termite and Wet Wood Termite. Despite all being the same species, each of these has a different appearance and behavior. Therefore, the treatment defined to eliminate a pest is different for each case.
Dry Wood Termite
They are native to our country with a dark color, they can be found in wood of lower humidity. The treatment of dry wood termites consists of selectively treating the foci in which this insect develops, applying the termiticide directly to the holes and contaminating the betas of the wood and its internal channels, the termite dies immediately when in contact with the termiticide. After 30 days, an inspection visit is carried out to verify that the pest is controlled.
Damp Wood Termite
This Termite is very common in old houses and where humidity accumulates. The soldiers of this species have flat heads with imposing jaws. They can be found in the south of Chile and always in dead wood.
Subterranean Termite
One of the most difficult to eliminate since its queen may be far from where the rest are. Despite this, our NeoTerm system ensures that the termites eat the product that inhibits growth, so that the workers age and the colony is not able to renew itself, dying as a whole. It is the most complete termite control method with the lowest ecological impact that exists worldwide and is now in Chile thanks to Neoplagas.
Woodworms
If the insect that is devouring your house is not one of these termites, it is most likely a Woodworm. These are small beetles that feed on wood, but unlike the termite, they do not leave visible channels and instead leave small holes where they begin to eat. In Chile there are many types of Woodworms, especially in the south of the country, and despite being native they also cause damage to structures. The spray or nebulizer treatment, creating a protective layer on it to prevent the woodworms from damaging the wood, achieving that it is impregnated with the termiticide. eliminating woodworm colonies.
