Do I Have a Termite Infestation?

Signs of Termite Infestation

Subterranean termites are common in the BCS area. Therefore, City Pest Control offers Bryan/College Station termite control services.

The following are a few signs of termite infestation:

Swarmers

Subterranean termite infestations begin when warm temperatures and heavy rainfall trigger an established colony to send out a swarm of winged termites. Swarms have both winged reproductive males and females. Typically, colonies are active for three to five years before winged reproductive appear.

Often times, people confuse reproductive termites for flying ants. However, reproductive termites are smaller than ants and have straight, rather than bent, antennae. Termite swarmers have four wings that are the same size. Conversely, ant swarmers have two large wings in front with two smaller wings behind.

Piles of Wings

Swarmer termites land and shed their wings after mating, which leaves them in piles that resemble fish scales.

If you notice piles of wings on windowsills of your home, check to see if they are all the same size. They could be termite wings, particularly if they are the same size.

Damaged Wood

Subterranean termites create a distinctive honeycomb pattern in damaged wood.

As a result, tunnels form inside the softer wood and leaves external grain intact.

Identifying Subterranean Termites

The following are a few identification factors for subterranean termites:

  • Alates (swarmers) are dark brown in color, about ¼ to ½ inches long with two pairs of wings that are very close to being equal length.
  • Workers have no wings and are about ¼ inches or less in length. They are cream colored.
  • Soldiers have no wings, but have large mandibles (jaws). They are termite colony defenders and are creamy-white in color. However, their head is often brownish in color.
  • You may notice damaged wood. Subterranean termites build their nests underground. Therefore, damaged wood typically has an accumulation of soil or mud within the tunnels of the wood they are eating. Termites only eat the softwood, so damaged wood might appear to be layered.
  • The location of the nest is another sign of termite infestation. The nest is typically found below ground. While they may be found above ground, this is only when sufficient moisture conditions are available to support the above-ground nest and the colony is old and well-established.
