3. Step-by-step elimination plan
Step 1: Pinpoint the ant nest

• Track the movement routes of soldier ants (recently measured by netizens, the success rate is 82%)
• Focus on checking wet areas (bathrooms, kitchens, etc.)
Step 2: Choose a prevention and treatment plan
•Emergency treatment:Recommended bifenthrin spray (effective in 48 hours)
•Long-term prevention and treatment:Fipronil bait system (complete nest elimination in 3 months)
•Eco-friendly options:Beauveria bassiana biological preparations (effective in 7-15 days)
Step 3: Relapse Prevention Measures
| protective measures | Implementation method | Validity period |
|---|---|---|
| physical barrier | Install stainless steel anti-ant net (aperture ≤ 0.5mm) | More than 10 years |
| environmental control | Keep indoor humidity <60% | Continuously effective |
| Regular inspection | Professional inspection once every quarter | -- |
4. The latest prevention and control technology in 2023
1.Intelligent monitoring system:Real-time monitoring of ant colony activity through vibration sensors (91% accuracy)
2.Pheromone trapping:Using synthetic pheromones to trap and kill breeding ants (experimental stage)
3.Microwave termite killing:Specific frequency microwaves directly kill individuals in the nest (in the process of commercialization)
5. Things to note
• Never destroy ant nests yourself (may cause the population to spread)
• Wooden items need to be isolated before handling (to avoid cross-infection)
• It is necessary to strengthen prevention before and after the rainy season (the peak period of termite marriage)
• Choose a qualified prevention and control agency (see PCO certification)
According to the latest data from the China Termite Control Association, the 5-year recurrence rate after correct control has dropped to less than 8%. It is recommended to take professional measures within 72 hours after discovering ant infestation to avoid causing greater economic losses. If you need specific product recommendations or construction guidance, you can consult the local 12345 government service hotline to be directed to the termite control station.
