Termites are silent destroyers of your most precious property and to prevent their infestation you can seek assistance from Broken Arrow pest control. Termites consume wood to extract cellulose from it. They work silently and remain out of sight of homeowners until the damage is done. Oftentimes, when we realize we have a termite infestation they have already destroyed the structure of our home. Their infestation weakens our wooden beams and foundations which could lead to structural failures. Termites are not specifically known to spread diseases but their presence can lead to allergies and asthma in some individuals. To tackle all these issues, you can always go to Broken Arrow pest control for a professional removal of termites.
Types of termites and their problems
There are a lot of termites in the woods but only a few of them attack our homes. Among them is the subterranean termites who we most encounter. They build colonies under the ground. They use mud tubes to connect themselves to the food sources. They require moisture to survive and function properly and they like damp environments. These termites are the most destructive in the world and one colony can have about 2 million individuals which is huge.
Drywood termites come next when it comes to the damage caused by termites. They live entirely with the wood they consume. They do not require soil to make nests. They can infest dry wood that includes furniture and hardwood fibers. They have much smaller colonies compared to the subterranean termites.
Dampwood termites on the other hand prefer water-damaged wood. They thrive in areas with high moisture. They are less likely to infest our home. They are larger than the drywood and subterranean termites. Broken Arrow pest control will identify the species that have attacked your home and remove them entirely.
Termites have complex colony structures and worker termites do all the menial work. They are responsible for finding food and feeding the colony. They cause the most damage because they chew wood to get cellulose. Worker termites are blind and they rely on chemicals to communicate and navigate.
