Termites are one of the most destructive pests but Tulsa pet control knows how to control them. Termites silently eat wood and other materials that can cause extensive damage to home structure. The list for termite damage is a long one. Apart from the wood, they can damage the insulation, paper, books and even filtration systems, which make them a threat to different parts of a building. Termites do not pose a direct health risk to humans but the damage they cause can lead to unsafe living conditions. If they have already compromised the structure of your home, it may collapse, leading to injuries and fatalities. To prevent all this, contact Tulsa pest control.
Termite worker
Termite workers are the driving force in a termite colony. They search for food and feed other members of the colony. They perform other functions, like caring for the young ones and they also look after the queen, king and soldier termites. They gather food for the colony which is mainly wood and other plant materials and distribute it throughout the colony by a process called trophallaxis.
Termite workers are also responsible for building the nest structure. They dig the tunnels and chambers. They are also responsible for creating mud tubes that connect food sources to the colony. Worker termite also repairs any damages to the colony to ensure that it remains stable.
Termite workers are typically pale and wingless. They have antennae and they are typically ⅛ to ⅜ inch long. They don’t have mandibles like soldier termites. Worker termites do not reproduce. They develop from eggs laid by the queen. It takes several months for them to mature to adulthood. If you see any signs of termite consider calling Tulsa pest control.
