Broken Arrow exterminator can be your savior if termites are eating away your furniture or home structure. Termite queens build extensive colonies that can cause structural damage to homes and buildings by consuming wood and other cellulose materials. Termite queen can lay thousands of eggs per day to grow the colony at a rapid pace, which leads to rapid infestation that is difficult to control. They often hide within walls, floors and other structural components, making it difficult to identify an infestation. Eventually, they will cause huge damage to the structure of your home, which will need expensive repairs. Broken Arrow exterminator will not let it happen when you call them at the first sign of infestation.
Termite queen and her role
The main role of a termite queen is to reproduce. She is the primary reproductive individual in the colony. The most significant task she plays is to lay eggs, sometimes producing thousands each day. Both the king and the queen initiate the colony. After a nuptial flight, they land in a suitable site, mate and begin their colony. The queen constantly secretes pheromones that control the behavior and role of other termites in the colony. She is the one who controls the rapid growth of the colony by laying eggs and maintaining the structure of the colony over many years. She even prevents other female termite from reproducing, maintaining her role as the primary egg layer and ensuring a controlled growth.
To control a termite colony, it is essential to identify termite queens. Without the queen the colony cannot sustain itself and will eventually die off. Broken Arrow exterminator will identify the queen and use integrated pest management to target and eliminate it. This is more environmentally friendly because then there is not much need for widespread chemical use. Also if the queen is identified, then exterminators can assess the age and size of the colony which is essential for determining the extent of the infestation.
