Termites pose a significant threat to homes and structures but Tulsa pest control can help secure your home. Termites eat wood silently and persistently for cellulose. The damage they do can be costly to repair because when they eat and weaken the structure, we need complete renovation. They are silent destroyers because they cause extensive damage and we detect them when it is too late. Understanding the role of termite workers is also very important in eliminating them. So in this article let’s talk about termite workers and what you and your Tulsa pest control can do to stop them.
Termite workers
Termite workers are the most active group in a colony doing all the chores and more. They forage for food, feed other members, and care for the king and queen. Termites are white or light-colored, and they are wingless as a result they cannot fly. They have mandibles and they use them for chewing food and other plant materials. Termite workers are sterile, and because of this they do not take part in reproducing. They can live for several years. They never take rest and work efficiently to sustain the colony.
Worker ants consume wood to extract cellulose from it. They also feed on paper and other plant materials. With the presence of protozoa in their digestive systems they digest them with ease. They also lend a hand in building the colony and maintaining it. Termite workers use pheromones to communicate and coordinate their activities. The dangers of termite workers are plenty. They consume wood from the inside out which causes extensive damage inside before you notice them weakening the structure of your home. To safeguard your property it is always wise to take prompt action and call Tulsa pest control to effectively remove them.
