What Are Subterranean Termites?
Before we dive into the details of our termite control services, let’s take the time to talk a little bit about subterranean termites. Subterranean termites are a type of termite that lives underground. They build extensive underground tunnel systems, called “galleries”, which they use to move around and get nutrients. Subterranean termites are considered to be the most destructive type of termites because they can do massive amounts of structural damage in a very short amount of time due to their ability to reproduce quickly.
The subterranean termites found in Arizona generally feast on wood, paper, drywall, and other items that contain cellulose. If left unchecked, they can rapidly cause massive amounts of damage to a home or business.
How Do I Know if I Have Subterranean Termites?
While subterranean termites are usually hidden from view, there are some signs that may indicate their presence. One of the most common signs of termite activity is visible mud tubes extending from the ground up the side of a structure. These tubes are made of a combination of mud, saliva, and excrement and are used as a way for the termites to move back and forth between their underground nests and the food source.
Other warning signs of subterranean termites may include the presence of shed wings and/or small piles of sawdust-like material near wooden structures. These are indications that termites are inside the wood, eating away at its cellulose content.
