Termites<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n

Subterranean termites damage 1 out of 5 homes in New Jersey every year, so it\u2019s worth learning about these annoying, destructive pests. By the time they have started chewing up your home\u2019s lumber, termites have usually established quite a colony underground \u2014 hence the name subterranean.<\/p>\n

Three facts to know about identifying a subterranean termite infestation<\/a>:<\/p>\n

Termite are both winged and wingless<\/strong><\/p>\n

Worker termites do not have wings, but other members of their colony have wings. So if you see winged insects, they may indeed be termites! Basic termite identification<\/a>: winged termites are reproducers and\u00a0wingless termites are workers.<\/p>\n

Termites carefully build a network of tubes<\/strong><\/p>\n

Between their underground colony and the wood structures of your house that they destroy, termites travel in a series of mud tubes. These tubes are often easier to identify than other signs of an active colony. You can look for tunnels leading away from your foundation or wood structures.<\/p>\n

Termites rely on wood that touches soil<\/strong><\/p>\n

They travel far and wide for food, but termites<\/a> really rely on finding wood that directly touches the soil. If you\u2019ve spotted termites indoors, you can start looking for destructive activity wherever your house, porch supports, or other wood is in contact with dirt.<\/p>\n

If you\u2019ve seen clear yellowish bugs around your windowsills or near lights, you may have a termite problem. Turn to New Jersey\u2019s termite experts at Allison Pest Control<\/a> for help.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
