Do You Know Termites.

Termites are social insects member infraordo Isoptera, part of the order Blattodea (cockroach) is widely recognized as an important pest of human life. Termites eat wood and lodged in the frame home furnishing or causing many economic losses. Termites are still allied with ants, which are also social insects. In English, termites called "white ants" (white ant) ​​because of the similarity behavior.

Wood damage due to termite attack.

The term actually refers to the animal termites in general, but there are several different forms known as the ant colony or social bees. In the colonies, termites do not have wings. However, some form of winged termites can achieve that will come out of the nest in droves at the start of the rainy season (which is often a sign of a change to the rainy season) at dusk and fly closer to the light. This form is known as moths or termites.

Termite Control.

A study proves that the application of NE effective in controlling subterranean termites C. curvignathus. Subterranean termites are pests that have habitat specificity and have typical behavior. Termite colonies build his palace in the soil to a certain depth, even often looks firmly on the ground. Termite colonies in the soil could number in the hundreds of thousands to millions and led by a queen termite termites protected by thousands of soldiers in a sturdy building that is composed of soil. Habitat and behavior is difficult termites termite control using chemical pesticides because of the shape and nature of the pesticide does not support. Instead, use NE to control termites are very effective because mobility NE strongly supports the achievement of target pest accuracy and habitat NE accordance with termite habitat. Therefore, the results of these studies proved the high percent termite mortality due to NE application is very significant compared to the control treatment.

Termite life cycle.

Termite life cycle we can learn that we understand their life cycle that starts from the soft egg shape transparent orange and the next egg will hatch into larvae. Of these larvae will grow up and become a little termites commonly called nymphs. When growing up, the young termites will choose their role in large colonies in the group.

Termite eggs.

After hatching and becoming new termite known that these small termites into what kind of termites, so he could be a soldier termites, termites and termite workers queen and king termites. Most of them will be the worker termites. Termite workers in colonies numbering at most. As their work is finding and collecting food, caring for the parent and its larvae, building nests and improve both existing and new nests.
This kind of caste worker termites have the ability to digest cellulose contained in the wood, and then digest the wood to then be spit out and become food for the mother, the soldiers and the larvae. Termites This type is generally the most damaging many buildings are wood therein.
As for the types of termites are the most destructive Formosan termites because it has a very large colonies and spend most food among other termite species.

Termites workers

In addition there is also a worker termite nymphs which then became a termite soldier who served to keep a colony. However this type of termite has the disadvantage of this type of termite is not able to eat alone. They rely heavily on workers to provide them with regurgitated food. The soldier termites will cooperate with termite workers in finding and distributing food.

Termite soldier.

Termites sires in charge of production (Alates), termites are the future queen of a new colony of termites. Their body shape when the newborn is not as great when it became queen termites but still slim, of a termite kingdom only those who have wings. The wing is what is needed to move from one place to another in order to build new colonies in different places, two pairs of wings of the same size will appear on their backs.
Queen termites or termite sires we often refer to as moths and appear before the rain. Beautiful shape of their bodies to a class of termites (slim and winged) will not be able to last long. Because of this wing has the disadvantage that vulnerable and very fragile, and quickly fall out once they have found a place to build a new colony.
If elected to the queen, the body of the female moths will not be slim again and will be obese, because the purpose of his life until death is laying for the colony. Where they will continue to eat and eat again to be the most energy and raw materials into the eggs.
Termite queen and king termites in a colony there is only one king and one queen. Termite queen is also the world's longest living insect can live 50 years under the right conditions.

The queen termite.

When a termite colony becomes too great and the queen can not lay eggs enough to maintain it, sexual reproduction by reproductive termites would run to ease the burden of the queen. Thank you for reading this article. Written and posted by Bambang Sunarno. sunarnobambang86@gmail.com
