Os insetos são incapazes de "comer" concreto, mas tendem a explorar o concreto fraco ou danificado para acessar algo mais atraente, como uma fonte de alimento ou local de nidificação.
It only takes a small crack in an otherwise secure concrete foundation to let termites in. Poured concrete is the most reliable, but if you have a block foundation, the mortar is likely to provide open spaces. Expansion joints between home sections are another invitation to pests, as is any area where pipes or wires enter the house.
Once inside, termites build dirt tunnels. These tunnels get wider over time, so even though the bugs aren’t eating your foundation, they can cause a great deal of damage as pressure builds up and widens existing cracks. This slow process may go unnoticed until it becomes serious, making regular inspection of your home and foundation an important part of pest control.
A erradicação é melhor deixar para um profissional por algo tão sério.
