SUBTERRENEAN TERMITES
Commercial and Residential
Out of all termites types, subterranean termites do the most damage worldwide, this damage is estimated in the millions of dollars each year!! The most damaging subterranean termites are copiotermes species, which include formosan and asian termites and reticontemes species which include the faster subterranean termite, Subterranean termites live and invade from underground and a single colony can cover one acre undeneath a home, They typically live in dark moist, hidden environments underground but will create and live in carton nest aboveground, These can be found in walls and attics of structures and in nearby trees too move above ground, these termites build mud tubes, which are use for detection.
Subterranean termites are highly destructive pests that build colonies underground and enter homes through wood in contact with soil. They can cause significant structural damage as they silently feed on wood 24/7, often going unnoticed until it's too late.
Subterranean swarmers are winged reproductive termites that emerge in large groups, usually in spring, to start new colonies. Their sudden appearance indoors is often the first visible sign of a hidden termite infestation.
Swarming ants have bent antennae, narrow waists, and two pairs of wings that differ in size, while subterranean termite swarmers have straight antennae, broad waists, and wings of equal length. These subtle differences are key to identifying and properly treating an infestation.
