PEST CONTROL
TERMITES
Termites and Termite Control in Clearwater, St. Pete and Tampa, Florida.
There are 3 main types of termites in Florida. They are subterranean, dampwood and drywood termites.
Subterranean termites nest in the soil, dampwood termites infest damp wood and drywood termites infest
dry wood. Subterranean Termites are by far the most destructive termites in Florida. Although they nest
in the soil, subterranean termites can build tubes that connect their nest to the wood in homes and other
buildings. If moisture is available and all the castes of the colony are present, aerial nests can occur.

Social in nature, Subterranean termites live in colonies that consist of
many individuals. The colonies are composed of workers, soldiers and
reproductives. The workers have no wings, are white to cream colored
and large in population. Soldiers defend the colony. Soldiers have no
wings and are white with large brown heads and mandibles. The King and
Queen termites are the reproductive termites in the colony. They are
brown to black with two pairs of wings around twice the size of their bodies.
Subterranean termites feed on wood or paper, fiberboard, and some
fabrics made from cotton or plant fibers.

Subterranean termites usually nest in the soil, but they also nest in wood
that is moist or wet. They will attack any wood in contact with the ground. If
the wood does not contact the soil, they can build mud tunnels or tubes to
reach wood that is several feet above the ground. These tunnels can
extend for 50-60 feet to reach wood and often enter a structure through
expansion joints in concrete slabs or where utilities enter the house.
Termites remain hidden within wood and are often difficult to detect.
However, Drive-Bye Exterminators’ certified inspectors can detect
Subterranean Termites by the presence of winged reproductives, mud
tubes, and wood damage. If you think that you may have a termite
problem, call us today or click here to request a FREE Inspection.
