Termites are wood-destroying insects that invade and prey on the cellulose found in wooden structures and plant matter. the foremost common termite species living in our area and everyone across the country is that the subterranean termite. In wooden and forested areas, termites are many beneficial insects, helping to break down decaying matter. However, subterranean termites residing near homes and other structures quickly become more harmful than helpful. Per annum, termites cause billions of dollars in repair costs for homes and businesses across the US. Subterranean termites live together in large colonies and divide their labor into three different groups or castes—workers, soldiers, and reproductives (males and queens). Small, soft-bodied, and blind worker termites are liable for the structural damage that happens inside homes and other buildings.

Termites have probably become a drag in your home because it's provided them with everything, they have to be comfortable—a temperature-controlled environment and many cellulose-rich materials to prey on. Termites are interested in moist soil and water-damaged wood which may result from leaky pipes and clogged gutters causing water to seep into the walls of a home and creating moisture problems. Subterranean termites usually get into homes and other structures through door frames, deck posts, wood shingles, porch steps and supports, and other wooden objects that make direct contact with the bottom. These destructive insects also can find their way inside through cracks in foundations while out foraging for food.
Even if you've got a full-blown termite infestation, it’s unlikely that you simply will see one among these destructive pests. Subterranean termites reside in underground colonies, traveling to and from their food source through the soil or inside mud tubes. When they feed on a structure, these wood-destroying insects remain out of sight within the voids of your home are extremely discreet, not raising warning signs until extensive damage has already been done. Termites that have found their way inside a home, business, or other structure typically prey on wood located in hard-to-reach areas like above ceilings, below floors, and behind walls. However, you'll see reproductive once they swarm from a mature colony to mate. If you witness a termite swarm, it means termites are presumably nesting nearby.
