Are ferocious Formosan termites<\/a> creating a Tom’s River pest control nightmare at your home? The experts at Allison Pest control are here to help you identify<\/a> and fight these frightful creatures.<\/p>\n

What\u2019s in a name?<\/strong>
\nFormosan termites are a subterranean variety<\/a> of termite, brought to the U.S. in the 1940s from East Asia following World War II. They continue to be spread today via the shipping of wood and other cellulose-based goods.<\/p>\n

Formosan mugshot:<\/strong>
\nThe largest and most destructive termite species, Formosans are 1\/2-inch long with yellow-brown oval-shaped bodies, 6 legs, wings, and antennae. Straight out of a horror movie, Formosan termites create mud nests up to 300 feet long inside the walls of buildings, with tens of thousands comprising a single colony of workers, soldiers, and reproductives. They love to dine<\/a> on dead trees, wood, and plant-based fabrics.<\/p>\n

Formosan termite prevention<\/strong>
\nPrevent<\/a> the fearsome Formosan from entering your home. Due to their large population size, they can cause severe damage in as little as 6 months:<\/p>\n

\u2022 Ensure water drains away from your home\u2019s structure.<\/p>\n

\u2022 Rapidly replace damp or damaged wood on the outside of your home.<\/p>\n

\u2022 Be wary of signs of Formosan infestation, including mud tubes, blistered or peeling paint, and wood that sounds hollow when tapped.<\/p>\n
