I'm going to show you how to do a treatment around the perimeter of your house. This treatment is said to last. Up to her actually more than 10 years. It's considered a non repellent time I decide which means that it does not.

Event the termites from entering your home per se. It simply catch them with the chemical which they then take back to their colony and kill the queen does not repel the termites from. Coming in contact with it. I'm making it up very effective.

Chemical to use this is one of the top. To chemicals used by your commercial. Termite treatment gas. You can either pay them. A lot of money to do it for you or you can do the treatment yourself other tree treatment is pretty straightforward. It in all areas of your yard where the dirt of your yard meets the foundation or exterior wall of your house.

Others a little more intensive work that comes into play. When your. Treating the that have a concrete slab such as a sidewalk front porch for a patio. Abu discuss that later and I'll show you the steps I took to treat my house. The first step in your term or treatment is to dig a 6 inch deep and 6 inch wide trench all the way around your house right up next to the foundation or to the basement wall as I have. The problem is he can see I planted my bushes. Far enough away from the wall. But I could dig behind them and keep them from rubbing against the house and messing up the brick. But the contractors who planted the trees or the shrubs. And the front of the house platinum right up next to the house.

There's no room to get behind them to dig. So show you a little tip to pull your brushes away temporarily. Why did your church. As you can see I have a system that pulls the shrubs away from the house so that I can dig a trench address some stakes into the ground. And use the ratcheting style straps you can see the first 2 bushes. For pulled away.

Okay walk behind him but the next year or not. So that's the difference give me about a foot a work room to work. Behind them and these are the stuff straps that Yousef strapped to bush is out of town. In this the ratcheting style straps stockholders tight as I can then ratcheted down a little bit more.

Now give me the room might be able to see better from this angle due to the sunlight. But I have a clear path to dig a tunnel behind my shrubs. The next step involves a 5 gallon bucket with 4 gallons of water and different amounts of Commodore. Based off of what your goal is I'm using the term door Essie about this I do my own has control.com. They sell the same chemicals that expertise and after my application. But I like the guidelines. It's just very different mixing guides.

The first one is 4.6 percent. End of may measures at says one gallon of finish solution 2.8 collapses.

The next 2 are for if you have active termite activity or an active colony of those are a little bit stronger and they're made to kill the colony and then prevent afterwards so today since I have no signs of termites at this time I'm going to use the one gallon of finished dilution at point 8 ounces of German or so I'll be mixing. 4 measurements of point 8 fluid ounces in this model you just type it up. And it fills up the minutes slowly drains down.

Through that little too in the center there to 2.8 fluid ounces mark I'll put 4 parts of this 4 times point 8 fluid ounces into my water and then I'll start with my paint stick all makes it up and I'll pour this into 10 feet of the trench that I've dug around the house so 10 linear feet. Traits that is 6 inches deep and 6 inches wide. What you for the Commodore and. 10 when your feet. You let it soak in all the way. Then use a pump sprayer. History the bank. And then you should push the backfill. Back into the hole. Now you can see all mine since my.

Ground is obviously not level I built small dams just thrown in there. To prevent the terminal or from all going to the low spot. A bill small them every 3 feet or so. Phil that section ridiculous as needed. And then wait until all the term adore is absorbed into the dirt. Now that my trenches mostly dry I'll come back. With a pump sprayer with German or mixed 8 ounces to one gallon. Of water and all spray the backfill. Get wet. Now making mud. Now come back.

Push them back though. Into the trench inspiration other coat of terminal or along the top. As for your ground to wall treatments. This is the last step. In order to treat concrete slabs. Around your home you'll need a hammer drill. And a drill bit that has happened too wide.

About 18 inches long. A you would drill into the concrete slab every 12 inches. Around the perimeter with the home. About 6 to 12 inches away from the exterior wall of your house. Within mix. Termin door in a 2 gallon bucket. And poor approximately one gallon of treatment into each hole. Using a long plastic funnel. Once you're done. With this treatment you'll then want to plug each of the holes with either plug you can purchase from to do mom as control.com.

Ants vs Termites - Do Ants Keep Termites away

Hi jump on the Democrat is here again one of the questions that are commonly get is can one Anson black hands leave together see most people say to me well of call blocking Sarandon.

Ants vs Termites - Do Ants Keep Termites away

I'm wouldn't have any white ants and bearing in mind that wanted some blankets are 2 completely different families that one in school termites as we know them well they don't really answer dole and it is commonly 9 it is true that the black hands are I predator of termites but the reality is that they're not going to read it had a colony more often than not whenever do inspections especially when it comes to things like landscaping team is if you've got time to sleep is lying around other bits of wood lying many gotten even a tree stump it's not uncommon for me to see normal ants and termites living in it together will often they just too busy doing their own thing it is like people in a way sometimes we just get distracted with or I think when a reward out what the next person's doing the other factors to consider.

So often what we'll see is that if there is conflict between the 10 months in the ants it's actually something that's minimal and localized as you can see here there many ants running around and you can look in the background 10 months trying to find out what happened will it was me that actually happened all I was doing an inspection looking for so much in a piece of timber and I found that they were both termites and ants this little post now as you can see the 10 months of trying to re establish a close might choose the ants have had a bit of a falling out with all the young Lama and so forth it also trying to deal with that situation.

One line to the ants in the termites on warring each other and this is all from what I've found time and again yes there's that one as he determines that's cupping a flogging from that hands but the reality is that the majority of them are just trying to reestablish order when it comes to the normal daily operations and so this is something that we've found very often when it comes to doing time on inspections term odds and ends will often be living in the same piece of timber together and I on bothered with each other because they're not the primary targets they're more interested in keeping the urn colonies established and making sure that the colonies site.

Termite colonies can be incredibly latch and we think of that piece of temporal or that particular stump the recording I gotten that might have too much some black ants in it will the actual termite colony could be much bigger than the few 10 months that are running around in that log for instance termite colonies can go from 0.5000000 to 1000010 months strong for really be colony thinking about that if there is say for instance a few aunts that ate a few termites even if that were to really go all out and say they 20000 termites in the colony that 500000 to 1000000 strong what we leave that percentage wise not very bigger role and.

Termites aren't particularly sensitive when it comes to the loss of some of the knights of the family members remember the most important thing for termite colony is that the whole colony survives so what does that mean it means if they lose 20000 termites so what they got another 0.5000000 they're not particularly emotional when it comes to that the most important thing is that the colonies of oz which means that they will send 20000 termites to the death if it means that the rest of the colonies gonna get enough food to keep that in mind when you're dealing with termites and this is a really important part when it comes to termite treatments just because of the future wanting one particular location doesn't mean that you're able to wipe out whole colony without doing a proper treatment if you grab a camouflage spray or something else you trade a few termites you only gonna kill those few there's a whole colony somewhere else somewhere in your wool somewhere in a tree stump maybe in the neighbor's yard you don't see that you don't know why with the rest of the colonies living that's why it's really important that treatments be done properly on John from the time I track is thanks for reading.

Ants vs Termites BATTLE

When ends meet tonight it's the walls of the jewels.

Ants vs Termites BATTLE

A swarm of ants could destroy termite colony. The ants find a way into the right. Distance from the film tonight at the insects. One.

Tonight is bigger than the end of it first seems to have the upper hand. But the answer much more aggressive and reinforcements are arriving all the time.

The worst of all possible outcomes the queen herself is under attack soon formed by CS warming and. Some remaining tonight battles but without that cleans the colony maybe is good and that.

The dead queen is a massive price a huge source of fat and protein for the ends.

Ants rescue injured comrades from termite battles

No blood left behind is the model of this ant species found in the southern regions of Africa.

Ants rescue injured comrades from termite battles

When the ants hunt termites a risky pray the colony sticks together marching into battle in columns and making sure even injured amps make it back large ants called majors break up the soil around termite nest during a raid.

Well smaller minor ants slip through the cracks to extract their meal. Soldier termites fight back ants lose limbs an antenna in the scuffle. After the fight the else lined up to go home carrying termite carcasses along for a post battle feast.

When predators like spiders see injured and struggling home they know they're in for an easy snack so major stick around after the fight tracking the scent of a fair amount that signals injury when an injured and has found the major grabs the fallen soldier in its mandibles in Kerry's at home to recover safely in the nass.

See what became of those injured ants researchers created laboratory nests and hunting grounds and mark the injured with page 95 percent of those hurt him marched alongside their brethren on future rate.

The number of ants rescued each day is about the same as daily at birth meeting rescues help the colony stay strong and prepared to fight another day.
