What\u2019s that<\/a> munching on your home\u2019s structure? It could be drywood termites. How can you tell? Allison Pest Control\u2019s expert Freehold exterminators are here with a little 9-1-1<\/a> to better help you classify these criminals.<\/p>\n

What\u2019s in a name?<\/strong>
\nDrywood termites do not require moisture or contact with soil to be drawn to your home. These tenacious termites<\/a> can tunnel and nest in buildings, causing major damage to wooden support beams, ultimately destroying structures. And they won\u2019t stop there. They\u2019ll also munch wallpaper, plastics, and fabric made from plants.<\/p>\n

Drywood mugshot:<\/strong>
\nDrywood termites can be identified<\/a> by their 3\/8-inch, light brown, long and oval bodies sporting 6 legs, wings, and antennae. Colonies do not have workers, instead younger termites, dubbed \u201cfalse workers,\u201d do the work for the colony.<\/p>\n

Drywood termite prevention<\/strong>
\nThough prevention is more difficult than with subterranean species, drywood termites can be prevented<\/a> from entering your home\u2019s structure:<\/p>\n

\u2022 Screen attic and foundation vents with bug screens to prevent infiltration.<\/p>\n

\u2022 Store all firewood, lumber, and scrap wood well away from your home.<\/p>\n

\u2022 Seal all cracks and crevices around the outside of your home to prevent drywood termite infestation.<\/p>\n

\u2022 Where possible, paint<\/a> your home\u2019s structure. Drywood termites will not enter wood that has a good coat of paint.<\/p>\n
