\"\"<\/a>Studies have shown that termites have been around since the beginning of time.\u00a0 The subterranean termite colony<\/a> is comprised of three different types of termites: the workers, the soldiers, and the reproductives.\u00a0 Subterranean termites are considered to be the most destructive kind of termite.\u00a0 If you have a NJ termite infestation<\/a>, it is most likely of this variety.<\/p>\n

Unlike wood-destroying carpenter ants<\/a>, the subterranean termite consumes the wood that it comes in contact with.\u00a0 These termites have a voracious appetite for wood, but will also eat wallpaper, insulation, plastics, and fabrics that are made from plant substances.\u00a0 Subterranean termites<\/a> need soil to survive as they live in underground colonies or in wet areas above the ground.\u00a0 Termites build intricate tunnels from their soil locations to areas where their food supplies are located.<\/p>\n

It is estimated that termites cause over $2 billion in damage to homes and businesses throughout the United States each year. Termite colonies relentlessly devour wood non-stop, 24 hours a day, seven days a week.<\/p>\n

The residents and business owners in an area of Queens, New York witnessed first hand the power of the mighty termite this week.\u00a0 Termites<\/a> weakened a utility pole, which finally gave way to the bugs causing it to crash onto a car below.\u00a0The falling pole caused a chain reaction whereas many other utility poles on the block also fell or are hanging by a thread.\u00a0 The residents on the block were of course without power, but thankfully, nobody was injured.<\/p>\n

NJ subterranean termites<\/a> should always be considered a serious threat to your home or business as they can cause expensive damage to wood support beams, plastic plumbing pipes, insulation, sub-floorings, and building foundations.\u00a0If you discover termites, or think you might have them, it is best to contact a NJ pest control professional<\/a> for immediate termite inspection and\/or treatment.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
