The Silent Destroyer: A Quick Guide to Termites

Termites are more than just "bugs"—they are highly organized wood-eaters that can threaten your home’s foundation. Here is what you need to know:

• The Power of the Colony: A colony consists of Workers (the largest group that does the damage), Soldiers (the protectors), and Reproductives (the swarmers who start new nests).

• Their Diet: Termites feed on cellulose. This means they don't just eat your wooden beams; they also target paper, cardboard, and even drywall.

• The Main Warning Sign: Look out for "Swarming." When a colony gets too big, winged termites fly out to find a new home. If you find piles of discarded, translucent wings on your floors or windowsills, a nest is likely nearby.

• Can You Have Multiple Colonies? Yes. Different colonies can live near each other. While they don’t mix, they can all feed on your house at the same time.

Pro Tip: Termite colonies can live for decades if left alone. If you see signs of a swarm, call a professional immediately.
