Identify

Before you can begin the termite control process, you will need to make sure you are dealing with termites and not ants. These insects are often confused because they share many traits and termites do kind of look like ants. The following traits can be used to help you tell the difference between termites and ants.

Termites:

• Termites have a thick waist
• Termites have straight antennae
• Termites have shorter legs
• When wings are present, both pairs of wings will be the same length on a termite

vs

Ants:

• Ants have noticeable waists
• Ants have clubbed or bent antennae
• Ants have longer legs
• When wings are present, the front wings will be longer than the back wings on ants
  
  
  

Subterranean termites live underground and build mud-tube tunnels to reach food sources. Like other termite species, they feed on wood and other products containing cellulose. Swarming in the spring, groups of the winged, reproductive subterranean termites will fly off to start new colonies.

Subterranean termites can cause extensive damage. The hard, saw-toothed jaws of termites work like shears and are able to bite off extremely small fragments of wood, one piece at a time. Even a smaller colony, at 60,000 workers, has the ability to eat 1/5 ounce—or 5 grams—of wood each day.

An active subterranean termite infestation in a house or structure will usually be a two-step process to eliminate the infestation. If possible we will directly treat the active infestation and will follow up with a soil treatment or bait system to eliminate the portion of the colony that remains outside.

Its Highly recommend to hire a reputable professional pest control company that specializes in termite treatments.
