ABSTRACT

Termite damage is related to public safety. In cities or densely populated areas, it is especially necessary to pay attention to the public safety issues and hidden dangers caused by termite damage. Our country has been carrying out urban termite prevention work for nearly 30 years, and has effectively reduced the termite damage rate in urban areas. At present, termite control in my country is facing a transformation and upgrading process, and termite monitoring and control technology will gradually replace the traditional "toxic soil barrier method." This article reviews the current status and shortcomings of termite prevention in newly built houses, as well as the application of termite monitoring and control technology in the prevention of new houses, and looks forward to the concept and technology of "trapping and killing in one" combined with the ecological management of construction sites for termite prevention. Application prospects.
