TERMITES
Termite
Identification
One common sign of termites is termite
swarmers. This is the reproductive function of the
termite. Termites swarm, find a mate and get back into
the soil to start a new termite colony. In our area,
these small black insects with translucent wings emerge
in the spring in great numbers. The easiest termite
identification points are that the wings of the termite
swarmer break off from the body and that width of the
termite is pretty much uniform from head to toe, unlike
the ant, which has the exaggerated pinched waist.
Unlike the
termite swarmer, the termite worker and termite soldier
are cream colored. You might find them while gardening
or in a piece of wood that has been left lying on the
ground. In the spring, it is common to find them under
flag stones or under the device that channels rainwater
form the downspout away from the house. Do not bother
spraying them with anything because it will not really
solve anything and in fact may inhibit more permanent
solutions.

Termite
mud tubes on foundations or where 2 wooden structural
elements come together are a pretty sure sign that you
have termites. About the size of a pencil and brown,
these tubes are a closed system highway for termites to
travel from the earth to the wood they are eating. This
is necessary because termites need a very high moisture
content to survive. It is best to
leave the mud tube alone and give us a call.
