Termites in wooden doors, how to get rid of them for good?
WHAT ARE TERMITES? Termites are social insects that feed mainly on cellulose-based materials, such as wood and other plant-derived products. There are several types of termites, but the most common subfamilies are subterranean termites, dry wood termites, and tree termites. Termites have the ability to decompose cellulose thanks to the presence of symbiotic microorganisms in their digestive system, which allows them to obtain nutrients from wood. Although they are important for ecological balance in nature, when they invade human structures such as houses or furniture, they can cause significant damage. When termites eat wooden doors, they are seeking cellulose to feed on. Subterranean termites, for example, build mud tubes to protect themselves while searching for food sources, such as the wood present in building structures. The degradation of wood by termites can weaken the structural and aesthetic integrity of doors and other wooden elements in a home. Early detection and the adoption of appropriate management practices are key to avoiding extensive damage caused by these insects. 100% RADICAL SOLUTION We present our aluminum interior doors, a visually identical alternative to wooden doors but immune to microorganisms.
