Eastern subterranean termites are one of the biggest reasons for homeowners to seek help from a NJ termite exterminator<\/a>, but they\u2019re not the only species around. Drywood termites can also be a big problem for homeowners. Knowing more about these pests can help you understand how much damage they can do.<\/p>\n

What Do They Look Like?<\/strong><\/p>\n

Drywood termites<\/a> tend to range from a dark brown to a lighter tan color, although young termites are mainly white. Some of these termites, known as swarmers, have a pair of wings, which they get rid of when they find a place to start a new colony. When you see wings close to windows in your home, it could mean that drywood termites or another termite species is around.<\/p>\n

How Do They Behave?<\/strong><\/p>\n

Drywood termites<\/a> usually destroy the soft spring and summer growth of certain kinds of wood, unlike subterranean termites that typically feed on soft spring wood only. These types of termites are very social, but their colonies tend to be smaller than those of other types of termites. They don’t need as much moisture as other termite species,and they don\u2019t need to be in touch with soil as other species do.<\/p>\n

Whether you have drywood termites or another species in your home, it\u2019s crucial to have a NJ termite exterminator take care of them. Contact Allison Pest Control<\/a> for details on our termite control services.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
