Subterranean termites, much like other types of termites, come in colonies. What sets the subterranean termites from dry wood and damp wood termites is the efficiency of their operations. The colony is served by the alates or the swarmers, the workers, and the soldiers. Subterranean termites follow this caste system and each termite is very efficient in carrying over their tasks as long as the moisture and food needs are met.
The damage left in the wood can also be a good indication of whether or not the home is swarmed with subterranean termites—they usually leave bits of soil or mud in the tunnels of wood they eat through. The damage could appear layered when workers miss the hardwood part. Overall the wood damage could appear as if it was eaten with the grain, rather than against it. As what their name suggests, their nests can often be found underground. Subterranean termites can leave intense damage to property, stopping their growth and development is a matter of urgency.
Conquer Termites Northside recently got a call from a family in Albany Creek. The family saw extreme wood damage in the shed in their backyard and was totally alarmed when they discovered that the same damage happened in their kitchen window.
The team from Conquer Termites Northside quickly responded and tracked down the trail of the colony to make sure they take out every termite in the home. After applying the most appropriate termite baiting treatment for the home, Conquer Termites Northside finally eradicated the subterranean colonies spread around the kitchen wall footing and rear garden beds of this Albany Creek home. After a few weeks, the team checked on the home to see if the problem persisted. Thanks to Conquer Termite Northside’s sure-fire termite treatment methods, the termites were never seen in this Albany Creek property again.
