Termites are wood eating insects that attack your home but your Broken Arrow Exterminator will help you eradicate them. These insects feed on dead woods and animals. They are social insects and live in colonies which consist of the queen, workers, king, soldiers and swammers. The queen is the largest in size in the colony and lays thousands of eggs to sustain the colony’s population.
Termites colony is built by building tunnels deep inside the soil or inside drywalls in your building. These damaged woods and walls become hollow and empty. There are over 2,500 species of termites all over the world but the most common is the subterranean termites. Other species include the drywood, dampwood and formosan termites, the most destructive among them. Termites cause a lot of damage that cost huge amounts of money to repair. However, this can be avoided by early intervention if you invite your Broken Arrow Exterminator to assist you in eliminating them.
Worker Termites
This is the largest group among the termites colony. They are the workforce entrusted with the duty of going out to forage for food. This group is responsible for the damages caused by termites as they are the ones we often see, eating up wood and other dead animals which they take back to the colony. They are also responsible for taking care of the queen, her eggs, larvae and injured termites. Worker termites are known as the engineers of the colony. They are in charge of building, expanding and maintaining the colony’s infrastructure and sanitation. However, as they have unique functions, they possess distinct physical characteristics like other members. Worker termites have soft and elongated bodies with small heads, mandibles and large compound eyes. Contact your Broken Arrow Exterminator for assistance with termites.
