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 are light brown in color. They prefer to feast on dry wood and avoid damp areas.
• Dampwood termites are the largest type of 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 colony underground, underneath homes and businesses, where their food is plentiful.

How do I know if I have termites?

There are several warning signs that may indicate a termite infestation in your home. A large buildup of swarmer wings—broken-off termite wings in or around your house can be a sign of a colony near or even inside your home. Mud tubes can also be a sign of an infestation—trails left by termites as they leave the colony looking for food. 

If you have a termite infestation, you may also begin to notice signs of damage in your home. Wood surfaces that appear blistered or bubbling, new creaks in the floors, and hollow-sounding surfaces are all potential signs of termite damage. If you notice any of these signs in your home, call PURCOR Pest Solutions immediately to schedule a termite inspection in DeLand, FL.
