The main hazards are: damaging wood and other daily necessities; stealing and contaminating food; biting and harassing humans, affecting people's rest; bringing various bacteria, viruses and other pathogens to food and spreading diseases. Based on many years of experience in urban pest control, the Municipal Termite Control Institute now provides ant control methods to the general public so that ants can be killed in time.
