These types of termites come in varying sizes. The size of the termite depends on its caste. There are Workers, Soldiers, and Swarmers. Workers are around an eighth to three-eighths of an inch. Soldiers are just as long as workers but have a larger head and powerful mandibles. Working in a colony, these insects constantly eat and their main diet is the wood and cellulose inside your home.
You can tell subterranean termites apart from other species of termites by their colors. Worker termites have cream-colored husks and are generally paler in tone. Soldiers, on the other hand, are light in color, but their heads are brown. Worker termites don’t have eyes, because they’re used to burrowing into very dark holes. Still, workers can tell the difference between light and dark. Light means danger, and so workers tend to prefer the dark and seek it out whenever they can.
As the colony of subterranean termites grows, a supplementary queen helps to lay eggs, thereby increasing the colony size even more. Swarmers, another type of subterranean termite, develop when the colony is three to five years old. These termites will leave the colony to start a new one of their own.
Where Are Subterranean Termites Found In Homes?
Subterranean termites nest in the soil. The colony exists about 12 to 18 inches below the surface. In some cases, the termites will live within the mud tubing that starts at the foundation of an infested structure. These tubes can extend behind drywall as high as the second floor.
Moisture inside the tubing allows the subterranean Termite to survive above ground while returning to the soil from time to time. These termites can do extensive damage to the foundations of homes and buildings, going so far as to compromise the structural integrity of the building.
Unfortunately, tenting and fumigating will not eliminate the infestation. Instead, you must treat the soil with a non-repellent termiticide such as Termidor or Taurus.
