TERMITES
SUBTERRANEAN TERMITES
Subterranean termites are creamy brown in color with six legs and are about 1/8" in size. This termites species builds "mud tubes" underground to reach food sources. They feed on cellulose debris and swarm in early spring. Subterranean termites use their strong jaws to chew small pieces of wood and can collapse an entire building.
DRYWOOD TERMITES
Drywood termites are light brown in color with six legs and are about 3/8" - 1" in size. This species of termite does not require contact with the soil and infests dry wood. They can cause considerable destruction.
