If you find termites, then it’s important to get help right away with professional Monmouth County termite control services. Although any type of termite can cause major damage to homes, only certain kinds are found in NJ. Which types of termites might you have a problem with in your home?
Subterranean Termites
Subterranean termites are the most common type found in NJ. These termites, which include eastern subterranean termites and dark southeastern subterranean termites, eat through wood in order to consume the cellulose. This can lead to serious structural damage to homes when infestations aren’t dealt with in time.
Eastern subterranean termites swarm from March through May, while dark southeastern subterranean termites swarm from March through June. During these times, you might see these bugs flying around in or near your home.
Other Termites
Drywood termites aren’t native to NJ, but they can still end up inside your home. These termites can be unknowingly brought into homes when they infest wood furniture and other items that come from other parts of the country.
Formosa termites are a newer threat in the US, but these termites have not managed to make their way to NJ so far. These termites are known for developing very large colonies that can be difficult to eliminate.
