What are termites?
Termites are social insects that live together in large colonies. Subterranean termites nest in the ground and feed on materials made of cellulose. In nature, they are beneficial and help to break down decaying wood and other organic materials. In contrast, when inside of homes, termites are highly destructive and cause highly damage to your property.

Signs of an Infestation
- Adult termites swarming by the windows
- Wings near windows.
- Small pellets (droppings)—these can vary in color depending on the wood. they’re feeding on
- Surface blisters on the wood.
- Hollow feeling or sounding wood when tapped.
They divide themselves into three different groups, or castes: workers, soldiers, and reproductive; a termite’s appearance is dependent on its specific caste. Workers, which make up the majority of the colony, are blind and have soft, cream colored bodies. Soldiers have elongated, yellowish-colored heads and large jaws that they use to defend the colony. Reproductive members (kings and queens) have dark-colored bodies and are the only members of the colony that have wings.
Are Termites Dangerous?
Subterranean termites don’t pose a direct threat to people; in fact, we rarely come into contact with these ground-nesting species of insects. However, they are extremely dangerous to properties. Their feeding habits cause extensive and expensive damage inside of a structure. Additionally, termite damage is not covered by most homeowners insurance, meaning that repair costs tend to come out of pocket. Workers enter homes from the ground unseen and work silently for months or even years. They are generally only discovered after doing serious damage to major structures. The only other time you may realize termites are near your property is after witnessing a termite swarm. These swarms occur when large numbers of winged reproductive members emerge from a mature colony to mate and create another colony, usually during the day.
