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

Subterranean termites are a common reason for seeking NJ termite control services, but they\u2019re not the only type to watch out for. Formosan termites<\/a> are another threat that can put your home at risk. It\u2019s important to understand the differences between these two species, so you know which threat you\u2019re dealing with.<\/p>\n

Physical Appearance<\/strong><\/p>\n

Formosan termites and Eastern subterranean termites look similar in terms of body shape, but they differ in color. Formosan termites that reproduce are brown, while Eastern subterranean termites that reproduce are black.<\/p>\n

Swarming Behavior<\/strong><\/p>\n

Formosan termites typically leave their colonies and swarm during the evening from May through July. Eastern subterranean termites<\/a> usually leave their colonies and swarm during springtime.<\/p>\n

Colony Size<\/strong><\/p>\n

Eastern subterranean termite colonies cause NJ homeowners headaches by destroying wooden structures, but Formosan termites are an even bigger threat. Formosan termite colonies can have as many as 5 million termites<\/a> in them, which means that they have the ability to chew through wood at a much faster rate. This can lead to a higher risk of serious wood damage in a much shorter amount of time. Whether you have Eastern subterranean or Formosan termites, it\u2019s crucial to get rid of them as soon as possible with the help of professional pest control experts.<\/p>\n
