Termite

Do you know what type of termite it is? The most commonly known termite types are Drywood and Subterranean. Drywood swarmers have a reddish head and dark body, while subterranean swarmers are dark in color with a blackish head. It's important to identify these types of termites, as they can cause significant termite damage if left untreated. The workers and soldier termites are fairly similar in color, and understanding these distinctions can help in selecting effective termite treatments.

Termites use various signs to indicate they are causing termite damage in your property. For instance, Drywood termites will expel droppings, known as frass, from the wood to create space for movement. You might also notice discarded wings around your home. On the other hand, Subterranean termites create dirt-like tubes on both the interior and exterior walls. If you suspect an infestation, it's important to note that wood affected by drywood termites can feel crunchy, while wood infested by subterranean termites tends to be dry and paper-like. Understanding the different termite types and recognizing these signs can help you seek effective termite treatments.

Termite damage can lead to significant costs if not addressed promptly. These pests, including various termite types like drywood and subterranean termites, consume wood until they nearly penetrate the surface. Infestations can compromise structural beams, necessitating major repairs. To mitigate the risk of termite damage, it's important to schedule an annual inspection and be proactive by utilizing effective termite treatments.
