Understanding Termites

Termites play a significant role in nature by decomposing dead trees and contributing to the nutrient cycle. However, when they target your home as their next source of nourishment, it becomes a serious concern. Termites come in various types, each with unique behaviors and characteristics

Termite Types
Eastern Subterranean Termites

These termites thrive in moist environments and create underground colonies. They build mud tubes to access their food source, which, unfortunately, could be your home.

Formosan Termites

Known as "super termites," they have large colonies and can cause rapid damage due to their aggressive nature.

Drywood Termites

These termites can live in drier conditions and often directly infest wooden structures.

Conehead Termites

Unlike other termites, coneheads are not subterranean and can cause damage more quickly because of their visible foraging.

Dampwood Termites

Typically found in homes with moisture issues, these termites prefer wood with high moisture content.

Spotting the Signs of Termite Infestation

Early detection is vital to preventing significant damage. Be on the lookout for these critical signs that might indicate a termite presence in your home:

  • Swarm Alert: Spotting flying termites, often mistaken for ants, can indicate termite activity.
  • Mud Shelter Tubes: Look for mud tubes on exterior walls, a sign of subterranean termites moving between their colony and food source.
  • Hollow Wood: Tap on your wood structures. If they sound hollow, termites might be eating away inside.
  • Blistered Paint: This is not just an aesthetic issue; blistered paint can suggest that termites are damaging the wood beneath.
  • Pellet Piles: Tiny, pellet-like termite droppings near wood structures are a tell-tale sign of drywood termites.
