What Is a Termite?
Termites are classified as wood-destroying insects (WDI), a classification that also includes carpenter ants and certain kinds of beetles. Wood-destroying insects are known for feasting on wooden structures, causing massive damage to homes and buildings.
There are three common types of termites in the United States: dampwood termites, drywood termites, and subterranean termites.
- Drywood termites are long and narrow with oval wings and light brown in color. They prefer to feast on dry wood and avoid damp areas.
- Dampwood termites are the largest termites and prefer to eat water-damaged wood, typically in basements, attics, or roofs.
- Subterranean termites are the smallest variety but enjoy damp and dry wood equally. They typically build their colonies underground, underneath homes and businesses, where their food is plentiful.
How Do I Know If I Have Termites?
There are several warning signs that may indicate a termite infestation in your home. A large buildup of swarmer wings—broken-off termite wings in or around your house—can be a sign of a colony near or even inside your home. Mud tubes, trails left by termites as they leave the colony looking for food, can also be a sign of an infestation.
If you have a termite infestation, you may also begin to notice signs of damage in your home. Wood surfaces that appear blistered or bubbling, new creaks in the floors, and hollow-sounding surfaces are all potential signs of termite damage. If you notice any of these signs in your home, call PURCOR Pest Solutions immediately to schedule a termite inspection in Los Angeles, CA.
