\"\"<\/a>The eastern subterranean termite<\/a> is thought to be the world\u2019s best timber recycler.\u00a0 In being such, eastern subterranean termites are also known for the extreme damage that they can cause to your New Jersey home or business.\u00a0 It is estimated that at least one in every five homes in New Jersey has been, or will be, attacked by eastern subterranean termites at some point in time.\u00a0 Each year, these wood damaging pests cause millions of dollars worth of damage; which is never covered by insurance policies.<\/p>\n

Within a eastern subterranean termite colony<\/a>, you will find a queen termite, a king termite, soldiers, workers, and swarmers (reproductives) termites.\u00a0 The king termite lives with the queen and is tended to by the workers of the colony. The queen is a termite egg laying machine.\u00a0 She is much larger than any other termites in the colony.\u00a0 She can live up to 25 years and can produce more than 2,000 eggs per day!<\/p>\n

The worker termites<\/a> are the ones that are in most abundance within the colony.\u00a0 They are also the ones that cause the most destruction.\u00a0 They construct tunnels, gather food, tend to the king and queen, and groom the soldiers as well as each other.\u00a0 They are also the caretakers of the young nymph termites until they mature.\u00a0 Worker termites are soft bodied, do not have wings, and are blind.\u00a0 These termites spend their entire two year lifetime working for the colony\u202624 hours a day!<\/p>\n

Like any good warrior, the soldier termite will defend the colony to its death.\u00a0 If a nest is disturbed, the soldiers are the first insect that you will see rush out of the opening.\u00a0 Soldier termites<\/a> look different than the other termites as they have a rectangular shaped head with large pinchers that they use to crush their enemies\u2026usually ants.\u00a0 When fighting, these termites emit a sticky latex substance that will quickly entrap their enemy.<\/p>\n
