Resumen
Las termitas son un problema presente en Chile y que puede generar grandes pérdidas
materiales y económicas si no se toma con la debida seriedad. Afortunadamente, en el
país hay disponible una gran cantidad de productos y sistemas desarrollados para evitar
el ataque de estos insectos xylófagos y otros para eliminarlos en caso de que se
produzca una infección en un inmueble.
En este estudio se analizan los distintos sistemas disponibles en Chile, más otros
sistemas desarrollados en el extranjero que no se encuentran en Chile para
compararlos y analizarlos desde tres perspectivas, las que son: la económica, de
acuerdo a su eficiencia y ecológica.
De los 14 sistemas analizados, se determinó luego de comparar sus ventajas y
desventajas que el mejor es el sistema de seguros de protección baja, ya que tiene un
costo muy bajo comparado con los otros sistemas y utiliza, en caso de detectarse la
presencia de termitas en la vivienda, el sistema de cajas sebos, el que ha sido
demostrado en varias partes del mundo como el más efectivo a la hora de eliminar
colonias completas de termitas.
También se concluyó que una forma importante de prevenir el ataque de termitas es
teniendo en consideración una serie de recomendaciones básicas para el hogar, como
lo es el evitar la presencia de recintos húmedos o el apilar madera o leña junto a la
casa.
The existence of termites is a serious problem in Chile which. if not effectively dealt with, may result in serious material and economic losses. Fortunately however, several products have been developed with the aim of preventing further termite attacks and containing and eliminating the termite population in case of a termite outbreak within a given building. This study focuses on several systems available within Chile, as well as those developed abroad. by comparing them according to their economic effects, contrasting their levels of efficiency, and ultimately, by their ecological effects. Fourteen different systems were analyzed. After comparing each of their respective advantages and disadvantages. it was concluded that the best method used was the system known as low protection insurance. Two main reasons support this claim. First, this method utilizes the bating system. which has been recognized worldwide as the most effective method of eliminating entire termite populations. In addition, this system is the most cost effective, indeed the cheapest, when compared to the other methods studied. It was also concluded that another simple, yet important way to prevent further termite attacks is to take such basic steps as refraining from stacking wood along the sides of houses and preventing the existence of damp enclosures within the home.
