Termites are one of the social insects that invade our homes but your Broken Arrow pest control can help put their destruction to a stop. They consume a wide variety of decaying plant materials such as wood, leaf, litter, or soil humus. Dampwood termites are the largest species of termites, they date back more than 120 million years to the time of the dinosaur.
These insects are known to be destroyers. They are also called “white ants” because of their pale coloring and physical similarities to ants. Termites are usually medium-sized or small, with short antennae. They have strong biting mouth parts and are able to chew. Termites have specialized jobs within colonies, each different group having specific features that help them perform their jobs so they could grow colonies. The termite society is a highly organized and integrated unit. Contact your Broken Arrow pest control.
Termite Frass
Termite frass is also known as termite droppings. It looks like a pile of pellets, composed of digested wood. These droppings are produced by termites as they feed on wood and other cellulose-based materials. They are key signs of termite infestations, particularly in dry wood. It is composed of digested wood and cellulose and appears in different color and sizes depending on the species of termites.
These droppings aren’t dangerous, they are visible signs of termite infestation but don’t carry pathogens that would hurt us. Wherever there is a termite nest, the droppings are not far from its nest. Dry wood termite droppings could always be found on the floor outside the knockout holes along wooden floorboards or carpeting. Contact your Broken Arrow pest control.
