Found in every state except Alaska. They are underground in every yard.
Termites have 2 segment bodies, while ants have 3 segment bodies.
Termite swarms occur primarily in the Spring after a consistent warming and heavy rainfall.
As the population grows or the food source decreases, they seek locations with additional food. This is when they typically find homes.
We are considered to be in Region II, which is considered a Moderate to Heavy Risk.
Termites are often called “silent destroyers” because they cause major damage undetected for years. They live inside wood or underground, making them hard to spot without a professional inspection.
DIY termite treatments may temporarily deter termites, but they often don’t reach the colony. Professional treatments target the entire infestation and colony.
Termites can survive year-round, including in colder climates, by burrowing deeper into the ground or seeking warmth indoors.
Termites can still enter homes with concrete foundations by finding cracks or tunneling through mud tubes to reach wooden structures above.
Untreated termites can go from the foundation to the roof.
