Recently, termites are in flight
Don't spray pesticides
Municipal greening management guidance Zhu Chungang, head of the Plant Protection Department of the station, said that the swarms should be termites, which are currently in their swarming period.
According to Xiaofang’s colleagues, as of 8 p.m., the 962121 property service hotline had received a total of 88 work orders reflecting termite problems. Zhang Yan, deputy director of Shanghai Wubei Management Affairs Center, said that Shanghai's air pressure has been relatively low recently, the temperature has been high, and the humidity has been relatively high, which is suitable for termites to take flight.
Experts said
Citizens should never spray pesticides when they encounter termites infestation
This approach will not help to fundamentally solve the problem
Experts suggest that the specific time period (19:00-21:00) of the day when termites are infested should be closely monitored Closing doors, windows, and turning off lights and other light sources can prevent them from flying into your home to a certain extent. If citizens find signs of suspected termite infestation, they should seek further consultation from professionals in a timely manner and find a professional agency for nest extermination. They can also use physical methods such as vacuum cleaners to perform emergency cleaning to remove termites.

Little knowledge:
Termites are divided into types. There are two waves of
mature termite colonies every year. During the season (mainly in spring and autumn), they grow into winged adults and fly away from the colony when external conditions are suitable. This phenomenon is called "termite swarming".
Flying is a means for termites to expand their territory and reproduce their offspring. When the environment is suitable, the worker ants will open a flying hole near the nest, and the breeding ants will fly out of the nest one after another after realizing that there is no danger nearby. After flying a certain distance, they fall to the ground, shake off their wings, and start looking for their target. After a successful pairing, both termites burrow underground to build a nest, mate and lay eggs.
There are mainly several types of termites in Shanghai, including Phytophora termites, Phyllotermes blacki, Formosan termites, and Black-winged termites, among which the first three are more common. These termites have different flight times. Yellow-breasted termites and black-breasted termites generally fly in March and April, while Formosan termites and black-winged termites generally fly in May and June.

Termite control experts call the termites that emerge in March and April, usually in small quantities, while those that emerge in May and June are called home termites, which are larger in number and more destructive. This wave Termites generally last until the end of the rainy season at the end of June, which means that there are still more than 20 days before large swarms of termites come out to disturb people.
Friends, did you see termites yesterday?
How is the situation near your home?
