Drywood termites

Drywood termites feed on sound wood without water damage. Drywood termites, compared to subterranean termites, live in small colonies. These termites feed slowly, but very efficiently. They leave hardly anything but a thin exterior shell behind when feeding on a piece of wood. Drywood termites live in Hawaii, parts of California, and throughout southern United States.

Eastern subterranean

Eastern subterranean termites also live together in large colonies, but their colonies are not as extensive as Formosan termites. A single colony may have hundreds of thousands of members. Though their colonies are smaller, they cause more damage each year because they are more common and widespread. Eastern subterranean termites live throughout most of the United States, including Hawaii.

Formosan termites

Formosan termites are subterranean termites that live in vast colonies (millions of members per colony). Due to their large colony size and aggressive feeding habits, they can cause a lot of damage in a short time (6 months). These termites create both underground and aerial nests. Formosan termites live in southeastern United States and Hawaii.

FAQs

Termites are dangerous pests if not caught early because their feeding habits will cause considerable damage to the structures they’re feeding on. The damage is costly to repair, and adding insult to injury is the unfortunate fact that most homeowners’ insurance does not cover termite damage. Subterranean termites prefer to feed on water damaged wood. They invade buildings and attack structural wood located above ceilings, behind walls, and below floors, which, over time, damages the structural integrity of the building. Drywood termites attack sound wood and can cause significant damage to things like wood beams, furniture, and playsets.

Termites can find their way into any home. The warm weather found in California, Florida, and Hawaii, allow these pests to thrive and remain very active throughout the entire year. Subterranean termites typically find their way inside while out foraging for food. Drywood termites get into homes and businesses inside already infested pieces of lumber, flooring, or wood furniture. Termites do not sleep; they work 24/7 to feed their colony.
