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.

Subterranean Termites

Subterranean termites can cause the most damage to any other termite species. These kinds of termites build unique tunnels, often referred to as “mud tubes,” for food sources and to protect themselves from open air. Approximately $4.5 billion is spent annually in the United States to eradicate subterranean termite outbreaks and fix the damage they cause.

Drywood Termites

Drywood termites typically live, feed, and nest in undamaged wood with very low moisture. They are mainly found on the West Coast, Florida, and Hawaii, but they can spread east to Texas and the Carolinas. They do not make colonies under the soil as subterranean termites. A typical Drywood termite colony only contains about 10,000 whereas a subterranean termite colony can contain more than 500,000 termites.
