Survival time of termite adults

Generally, it can live for 15-30 years, and the longest can be 100 years.

Soldier ants are termite grades that vary greatly. Except for a few kinds of soldier ants, they usually start from young ants aged 3-4, and some young ants differentiate into lighter-colored former soldier ants, which are the guardians of the ant colony. Although they are male and female, they can't reproduce. Because of the loss of feeding function, food is fed by worker ants, and the life span is about 1-6 months.

Worker ants are the largest ant colony, accounting for the vast majority of the population. They are divided into females and males and have no reproductive function. They can live for a few weeks to 3-7 years in many complex jobs in their nests, but stray worker ants can only survive for a few days.

Precautions:

1, try to keep the room dry and ventilated, especially after the rain clears, because termites like to live in wet and hidden places, so we should regularly check things and corners that have not moved for a long time at home to see if there are termites.

2. If termites are found flying around at night, remember to close the doors and windows and spray some pesticides in the gap between the door frame and the window frame to prevent termites from entering the room.

3. For termites that have flown indoors, put a pot of water indoors after turning off the lights, and then illuminate the water surface with a flashlight or desk lamp, because the water will reflect light, and flying ants will fly into the water, thus achieving the purpose of eliminating termites.

Termites can secrete formic acid, which is very acidic and can corrode objects. If the skin comes into contact with objects eroded by termites, skin allergies and itching will occur.
