What are Termites?

Subterranean termites are the common termites found in Texas homes and businesses. They feed on wood and other cellulose materials and cause extensive and expensive damage to the structure. They are tiny, opaque insects that live in colonies. During a swarm, the winged members come out. Subterranean termites build distinctive tunnels often called mud tubes that protect them from air. They eat wood 24 hours a day, 7 days a week. 

What Attracts Termites?

Several things will attract destructive termites:
  • Termites are attracted to wood. You may be inviting termites unknowingly when you stack firewood close to your home, have vines climbing near your walls, or have landscaping mulch around that termites like to feast on or is too high on the foundation.
  • Termites are attracted to moisture. The only thing they like better than wood is wet wood.
  • Foundation cracks, plumbing lines and attached slabs allow the termites access into the structure. They also enter up slabs, foundation walls, and piers. 

Signs of Termites

Sadly, you may be unaware of termite problems until after they have caused damage. Termites chew from the inside (where they are not seen) and then to the outside. There are signs of termites you can lookout for. You might see swarming termites along your windows and doors; their wings will also be dropped around these areas. Most termite swarms are in the spring.

Other signs of termites are:
  • Damage to crawl spaces or floor joists
  • Damage to fencing
  • Termite mud tubes
  • Sagging spots in your floors
  • Pin sized dots of mud on the wall
While these are signs of termites you can look for, it is best to contact a professional for a termite inspection.
