Understanding Termites
Termites are small, wood-destroying insects that can cause significant structural damage if left unchecked. There are several types of termites, including:
- Subterranean Termites: The most common type in Northeastern PA, they build colonies in the soil and use mud tubes to access wood structures.
- Drywood Termites: Less common but equally destructive, they infest dry wood and don’t require contact with soil.
- Dampwood Termites: Attracted to moist wood, they are typically found in areas with high humidity.
Termites feed on cellulose, the main component of wood, and can quickly compromise the structural integrity of a building. Common signs of termite infestation include:
- Discarded wings from swarmers
- Mud tubes on exterior walls, wooden beams, or in crawl spaces
- Hollow-sounding wood when tapped
- Cracked or bubbling paint
- Frass (termite droppings) resembling sawdust
If you suspect a termite problem in your home or business, contact DCS Pest Control for a comprehensive inspection and reliable termite control services.
