Overview of Subterranean Termites

Subterranean termites are found in every state except Alaska. This termite species lives in underground colonies or in moist secluded areas aboveground that can contain up to 2 million members. They build distinctive "mud tubes" to gain access to food sources and to protect themselves from open air. Subterranean termites are by far the most destructive species in the U.S.

Identification

Subterranean termites are creamy white to dark brown/black and long, narrow, and oval in shape. They are 1/8 inch long and are found throughout the U.S.

Environment

Subterranean termites live in underground colonies with as many as two million members. They are also found in moist secluded areas above ground. Subterranean termites swarm in the spring when groups of reproductive termites go off to start new colonies.

Threats

Subterranean termites are by far the most destructive termite species. The hard, saw-toothed jaws of termites work like shears and are able to bite off extremely small fragments of wood, one piece at a time. Over time, they can collapse a building entirely, meaning possible financial ruin for a homeowner. If you suspect a termite infestation, contact a pest professional about subterranean termite treatment.
