The Eastern Subterranean TermiteEach colony of termites has several different members such as workers, swarmers, reproductives and soldiers. It is the job of the workers to provide food for everyone else; therefore these are the members of the colony that will cause damage to your home as they feed on your structures. Worker termites are relatively small, usually no more than ¼ of an inch. Unlike some other members of the colony, they do not have wings and they can range in color from white to yellow to translucent. You may have heard of the term swarming associated with termite behavior. This occurs when certain adult members of the colony leave the nest in one big “swarm” and seek out nearby sources of food and places to expand their colony and reproduce. Depending on where in the country you live, swarming may occur at different times of the year. However, the most common time for swarming of this species of termite is the spring. If you live in an area that is prone to termite infestation, you should definitely consider preventative termite treatment plans. It’s important to understand termites, what they do and how they do it as this will better prepare you to identify and eliminate these pests from your home.
