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 Fremont, CA: 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.
