Types of Termites

Knowing which types of termite colonies are present in your house is important in treating an active termite infestation. If left untreated, termite damage can be beyond repair. Properly identifying the invasive pest inside your property will help in providing effective treatment for your pest problem.

Drywood

Drywood termites live inside the wood or wood structures. They make their way through a wood by puncturing the surface. These insect pests prefer softwoods such as pine and cedar. Fortunately, drywood termites only eat the surface of your wood, not eating deep into them.

Drywood termites are commonly found in the southern part of the US, and live in wood that is above ground level. If left untreated, these pests can do significant damage to your property. They will destroy all of your wooden furniture and the foundation of your house.

Formorsan

The Formosan termites are the most invasive and destructive species of termite. These insects can cause massive damage to your property. They were first discovered in 1992 in California. These pests have devastated countless homes since their discovery.

Formosan termites make nests inside trees or wooden objects like furniture and fences. You will find these Formosan colonies inside walls, floors, and ceilings as well. Contact our pest control team to inspect your home if you suspect an infestation.

Subterranean

The most prevalent form of termite is the subterranean termite. They dwell below and construct tunnels to reach food sources. They can do significant harm to your property.

Subterranean termites can be difficult to identify because they do not create big holes in your walls like the previously mentioned types. These insects build their nests underground, thus creating networks within the soil, leading to severe infestation problems. These pests can collapse the foundation of your house and rot your wooden beams.

How Do Termites Get Into Your Home?

Termites need moisture to survive. These pests can invade your house with the help of mud tubes. If they are present, you will find these tubes protruding from the sides of your walls or near beams and trusses.

You should also check for pest problems regularly since these creatures can cause severe damage inside wooden structures, including tree stumps, fences, and decks of your property.

Knowing how wood is composed is vital in preventing future infestations. Termites feed on cellulose deep within wooden structures, around structural members like posts and joists. Thus, you should protect your property using termite-proof materials. You must take extra precautions when there are gaps between wooden planks or boards on your fence or walls.

Many companies offer wood treatment services throughout the United States. But, they are not all effective. Alta Pest Control Services is a reputable pest control company, and our technicians are rigorously trained to handle all types of termite pests with advanced protections systems and methods.

How to Spot Termite Infestation

It is essential to identify a termite infestation before it becomes a bigger problem. Termites are not always easy to spot, but there are some signs you can check out.

If you see small, wood-colored insects swarming around windows or doors, then you may have an infestation. You should also check for termite damage, such as small holes in wooden beams or furniture. If you observe any of these indicators, please call us right away.

• MUD TUBES: You can spot an infestation in its early stages by looking for mud tubes. These are tunnels that the termites use to travel between their colony and the food source.
• DAMAGED OR HALLOWED WOOD: Termites eat the wood from the inside out, so you may find areas of your home that are structurally weak.
• DRY WOOD TERMITE DROPPINGS: Termite droppings are small, pellet-like waste resembling sand grains.
• BLISTERS IN WOOD FLOORING: Termites often travel through the soil beneath your home to get to your wooden floors. If you have blisters in your flooring, termite activity is likely taking place.
• EVIDENCE OF SWARM: If you see small, wood-colored insects flying around your windows or doors, you likely have termites swarm.
