Termites (Reticulitermes flavipes)

Eastern Subterranean Termite is the most common found in North America.

The Eastern Subterranean Termites are the silent invaders might be small, but they can wreak havoc on homes and structures.

Hidden Threats: Unlike their above-ground counterparts, these termites prefer to stay out of sight, constructing their colonies underground. This makes them difficult to detect until significant damage is done.

Destructive Feeding: Eastern Subterranean Termites have an insatiable appetite for wood, often causing structural damage by feeding on the cellulose found in wooden elements of homes. Timely detection and intervention are crucial to prevent extensive harm.

Signs of Infestation: Keep an eye out for signs like discarded wings, mud tubes along foundation walls, or hollow-sounding wood – these could be indicators of a termite presence.

Protecting Your Home: Regular inspections, moisture control, and seeking professional pest management services are essential in safeguarding your property against these persistent invaders.

A mature colony can range from 20,000 workers to as high as 5 million workers and the primary queen of the colony lays 5,000 to 10,000 eggs per day. A colony of termites can consume up to 12 pounds of wood per year. They live underground and can go undetected for years, eating your building from the ground up.
