In addition to handling against the destructive infiltration of termite colonies, people also find many ways to kill termites throughout the nest system, with the most crucial purpose is to destroy the Queen of termites.
Nest or cave of “Dry wood” termites can be detected through the living characteristics by wood chisel in zigzag slots, both exploiting food and a resident place. Because extruded particles like sand grains form termites of this species, they also called “sand pile”.
The other termite species in the building include the house indoor termite (copt-formosanus), the nest is mostly located on the floor, or in the gut of panels, the secondary nest can appear in the corner of the wall, on the ceiling, etc. To find the nest of the mentioned species, people often use complex instruments such as radioisotope detectors, ultrasound, or resistance measurement, etc.
Termite attacks the materials of precious origin such as documents, books, papers, etc. in libraries, or preserved artifacts of high aesthetic value.
Termites also cause damage to machinery, technical equipment, high technology machine. Termites can wriggle into small gaps, then fill the ground to go. From there, they make the mechanical parts of the machine short-circuited, leading to hazardous fires.
Other than that, termites also attack your doors, wooden doors. When you open a jammed door or a hard-to-open window, which is caused by wood termites, their waste products create an obstructive environment that prevents heat and moisture. It makes the wood swell, making it difficult to open a window or door. Termites consistently eat non-stop, which means they continuously consume and destroy wood.

Orange essential oil is extracted from orange peel, containing D-limonene compound, which affects and killing insects. The way to kill termites by this method is based on the concentration of citric acid in D-limonene compound that will cause the backbone of the termite to be destroyed, causing them to lose water, lose protein and gradually die.
Put kerosene in a spray bottle and spray it into holes in wooden household objects or use a brush or dry cloth to soak the kerosene and spread it evenly on the wood surface. To avoid the smell of oil flying out and help the oil penetrate the wood faster, it advisable to use a plastic layer to cover the wooden surface. After about 2 hours, you should apply another layer of kerosene to increase the effect. Finally, use clean water to remove the smell of kerosene and assured using the utensils again. When using this method, keep away from sources of ignition.

However, the manual method will take more time to kill termites at the root, besides you can also use the termiticide of ATALIAN.
Termite treatment method using modern technology – Xterm, with a bait of Xterm, which is especially attractive to termites, through a trail with secretions from termites, this substance is called Pheromone. They will notify the members of termites for food sources and lead them to eat Xterm baits.
Compared to the traditional method of drilling and pumping chemicals inside and outside the building, the Xterm method uses plastic pipes placed in the soil around the building to be treated. Inside these plastic tubes are samples of wood, paper, cardboard, or any product containing cellulose. They act as fake bait to detect termites. When they eat these baits, they are replaced with the real baits that contain the special pesticides. Besides, bait systems placed directly on the ground can also be used and could bring back very high efficiency. Under this method, traps are placed in active termite locations, and their infestation is dealt with.
Xterm baits contain two types of active ingredients: insect growth regulator (iGRS) and slow-release poison. IGRS is a substance that contains insect hormones (hormones). Xterm baits mainly prevent the formation of an insect’s outer skeleton (shell), which is also called Chitin synthesis inhibitor (CSI). After eating baits containing CSI, termites will not be able to change the shell properly and eventually die.
After eating baits, termites will not die immediately. They have enough time to return to the nest and transmit food containing toxins to others in their nest. Chemicals will be spread throughout and eventually destroy the termite nest.
