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.

Oakland, CA, Termite Baiting Program
Our termite baiting program is an easy way to give early warning signs of termites and apply treatment if they do show up. This baiting system is great for homes with termite-conducive conditions because when checked regularly, it can help alert you to an ongoing infestation. If termites are found in your home, the inspection cartridges placed in the soil around your house can be switched out for bait cartridges, destroying the colony from the inside.
