Termites

Termite Identification & Prevention Guide

What are termites?

Termites are common species of insects here in Greater Austin, Texas that feed on dead plants and trees, helping to naturally speed up the process of decay which returns nutrients into the soil. Subterranean termites are those termites that nest underground rather than in the wood they use to feed their colony. They travel back and forth from their nest to their food each day. Subterranean termites become a problem for people when they find their way into your home or business to feed on its structural wood.

Termites are social insects, living and working together to care for their vast colonies. A termite colony divides itself into castes: workers, soldiers, and reproductives. Workers gather food and care for the colony, kings and queens are the only members that reproduce, and soldiers use their strong mandibles to defend their colony.
