Deemak ke lakshan: 9 nishaniyan jo log aksar miss kar dete hain

Deemak ke workers roshni se bachte hain — wo kabhi khule me nahi aate. Isiliye 'deemak dikhi' aam taur par tab hota hai jab colony mahino se kaam kar rahi hoti hai. Achhi khabar ye hai ki wo apne peeche kaafi saare nishaan chhodti hai, aur unhe pehchanna mushkil nahi.

1. Mitti ki naliyan (mud tubes)

Yeh sabse pakka sign hai. Pencil ki motai ki bhuri, mitti jaisi patli naliyan deewar par upar ki taraf chalti dikhengi — aam taur par foundation ke paas, bathroom ke bahar, ya balcony ki deewar par. Deemak inhi tunnels ke andar chal kar lakdi tak pahunchti hai kyunki khuli hawa me wo sookh kar mar jaati hai.

2. Khokhli awaaz — knock test

Door frame, window frame aur skirting par knuckle se thap-thap karein. Healthy lakdi thos awaaz karti hai. Deemak wali lakdi khokhli, papery ya 'dhap-dhap' bajti hai — kyunki andar se khaali ho chuki hai, sirf paint ki patli layer bachi hoti hai.

3. Pankh wale keede aur gire hue pankh

Barsat ke baad shaam ko tube light ya bulb ke aas-paas ude hue chhote bhure keede — inhe swarmers ya alates kehte hain. Ye nayi colony banane nikalte hain. Aur zyada important: khidki ki chaukhat par ya farsh par gire hue transparent pankh. Swarmer settle hote hi apne pankh gira deta hai — iska matlab colony aapke ghar ke andar ya bilkul paas hai.

4. Lakdi ke neeche bhura powder ya mitti

Almari, bed ya skirting ke neeche halka bhura, aata jaisa powder ya mitti ke kan girna. Log ise 'dhool' samajh kar saaf kar dete hain, aur agle din phir wahi jama mil jata hai. Wahi repeat hona sabse bada clue hai.

5. Paint me bubbles aur deewar par lakeer

Deemak paint ke neeche plaster me tunnel banati hai, jisse paint upar uth kar bubble ban jata hai — bilkul seepage jaisa dikhta hai. Fark yeh hai ki seepage wali jagah geeli aur thandi hoti hai, deemak wali sookhi. Deewar par patli tedhi-medhi ubhri hui lakeer bhi isi ka nishaan hai.

6. Kitab, kagaz aur cardboard ka andar se khokhla hona

Store room ya almari ke peeche rakhe purane kagaz uthaiye. Agar wo kinaron se jhalar jaise kate hue hain ya andar se mitti bhare hain, to deemak wahan pahunch chuki hai. Cardboard box deemak ka sabse pasandeeda ghar hai kyunki usme cellulose aur nami dono milti hai.

7. Darwaza ya khidki ka achanak jam ho jana

Deemak lakdi me nami laati hai, jisse wo phool jaati hai. Agar koi darwaza pehle theek chalta tha aur ab bina mausam badle atakne laga hai, to frame check karwayein.

8-9. Do aur nishaniyan jo log bilkul nahi dekhte

• Electrical switchboard ya conduit ke aas-paas mitti — deemak wiring ke raste poore ghar me travel karti hai, aur ye sabse tez route hai.
• False ceiling ya wooden panelling ke joints par barik mitti ki line — yahan colony bahut der tak chupi rehti hai kyunki koi dekhta hi nahi.

Nishani mil gayi — ab turant kya karein

1. 1Us jagah ko chhedein nahi. Mud tube todne ya spray karne se deemak raasta badal kar ghar ke doosre hisse me chali jaati hai, aur treatment mushkil ho jata hai.
2. 2Photo lein — treatment se pehle aur baad ka comparison warranty claim me kaam aata hai.
3. 3Aas-paas ka wooden furniture deewar se hata kar 2 inch door kar dein.
4. 4Us area ki koi bhi leakage turant theek karwayein.
5. 5Professional inspection book karein — DIY spray sirf dikhne wali deemak maarta hai, colony nahi.
