Identifying Different Termite Species

In the U.S., there are approximately 45 different species of termites. Each of these species falls into one of the three main types of termites. Understanding the type of termite affecting your property is crucial in deciding the appropriate treatment method, as their nesting habits and colony structures vary significantly. This knowledge, combined with our precise techniques, ensures effective intervention and long-term protection.

The three main types of termites include:

• Subterranean Termites: These are the most common and destructive termites found in homes. They nest in the ground and create mud tubes to travel into your property and feed on its structure. Early detection can save you significant repair costs and help maintain your property’s integrity.
• Drywood Termites: As their name implies, drywood termites only feed on dry wood. They often infest homes with exposed or damaged wood or hitch a ride on wood brought into the home from outdoor piles. Understanding the environmental conditions they thrive in can help with prevention.
• Dampwood Termites: These termites prefer moist wood like fallen trees and stumps. They typically only enter a home with plumbing leaks or roof leaks. Routine maintenance to address leaks can prevent this type of infestation.

For help identifying termites in your home or business, bring in the termite control pros at Enviro-Tech® Pest Services. We can quickly determine which type of termite you are dealing with & explain your options to you. We also offer guidance on how to make your property less attractive to termites through moisture management and proper wood storage.

Early Warning Signs of Termite Activity in Your Fairfax Property

Since termites are hidden away, eating at the structure of a home or business, identifying an infestation can be extremely difficult. Often, home or business owners do not realize they have an infestation until after the termites have been in their homes for years. Spotting the signs early can be the difference between minor repairs and major renovations.

Some of the key signs of an infestation include:

• Winged ants near windows or doors (these are actually termites)
• Tunnels of mud going up the foundation of a home or business
• Extra-creaky floors
• Tight-fitting doors or windows
• Light tapping sounds behind walls
• Small light or dark pellets that form in little mounds

If you suspect a termite problem, call Enviro-Tech® Pest Services immediately. Our team knows where to look and can provide the most effective solution for your property. We’ll assess potential entry points and offer targeted treatments to eliminate the infestation.
