Termites

WHAT ARE TERMITES?

Termites are small, subterranean insects that feed on wood. There are two types of termites common to homeowners:

● Worker termites have a cream-colored hue to their shells, are as long as four millimeters, and are often only seen inside infested wood or when a foraging tube is broken.

● Swarmer termites are brown or black and act as reproducers. While some termites can have wings, swarmers do not as they often lose them once they emerge.
