Termite nest in wardrobe update.

26/6/2015

I have now eliminated the termite colony in the wardrobe, which I've been baiting for a few months. When we see this kind of mudding in a house, it is usually just mud-packing, but the nest housing the queen is usually further away from the house.

In this case, once I removed the mudding & the computer it had engulfed [See fig 4] you can clearly see in fig 2, the loose material in the centre, with concentric circles of mudding. This indicates that this was in fact a termite nest, with the queen residing in this central chamber. 
​
Proof of colony elimination can be seen in fig 3. Here we see clusters of dead soldier termites. Many of them have deformed exoskeletons & some have heads without bodies. These are classic signs of the effects of a baiting treatment. Thousands of termites ingest the bait & distribute it throughout the colony. The bait is a chitin inhibitor, which interferes with the moulting process, leading to elimination of the entire colony.
