About Subterranean Termites

Subterranean termites — a.k.a. your home's worst enemy — are not just an annoying problem that will solve itself down the road. If ignored, subterranean termites will inflict massive structural damage that can make your home unstable and unsafe. termites love devouring wood — and/or they are particularly fond of soft, rotting and fungus-infested — anything made of cellulose. Some of the most problematic and destructive subterranean termites in the Sarasota, FL area include Formosan, Eastern and Dark Southeastern.

• Formosan Subterranean Termites [coptotermes formosanus]: these termites have the nickname "super termite" — and unfortunately, it is well earned. They are incredibly destructive, since they eat wood at a rapid rate and build enormous colonies. In fact, a single Formosan Subterranean Termite colony can produce more than 70,000 alates — which are winged termites that leave the colony and establish new ones.

• Eastern Subterranean Termites [reticulitermes flavipes]: these termites are the most common termites found in North America. They infest wood that is piled close to the siding or touching the soil. They also build "mud tubes" that enable them to burrow deeper into homes.

• Dark Southeastern Subterranean Termites [Reticulitermes virginicus]: these termites will eat all kinds of wood, but prefer Douglas fir structural lumber and pine. A mature colony produces thousands of alates, which head off to mate with others swarming alates to form new colonies — and make an infestation nightmare even worse.
