Termite Facts

Termites are frequently referred to as the “silent destroyer” because they may destroy the basement or attic without any immediate signs of damage by secretly hiding and thriving. Termite queens and kings may live 10 to 15 years or longer while workers live for about two years. The queen may lay 5000 to 10000 eggs daily. A mature colony of termites can range from a low of 20,000 to a high of 5 million workers, with an average of 300,000. Termite species eat 2 to 3 percent of their body weight each day.
