How To Tell If You Have Termites On Your Lake Dallas Property

Termites are no laughing matter. If these destructive insects find their way onto your Lake Dallas property, you should be worried. Americans collectively pay over 5 billion dollars in termite protection and repairs annually. Therefore, it's important to understand termite identification, behavior, and prevention before a termite colony becomes a problem in your North Texas home or business.

Description

Termites operate within a caste system meaning that each member has a different job to ensure the functionality of the overall colony.

Workers are less than ¼ inch long and have white bodies.  They use their small jaws to constantly chew through wood to feed other members of the colony.

Soldiers are slightly larger than workers with flat, white bodies and darker colored, rectangular-shaped heads. They have large mandibles that they use to defend the colony.

Reproductives are also known as alates or swarmers. As their name implies, their job is to reproduce and expand the colony. Once a colony reaches its full capacity, reproductives will sprout wings, emerge from the colony, mate, and establish a sister colony.

For the most part, you will not see termites as they stay hidden underground and within the wood they’re eating. They use mud tubes to travel from place to place.  During spring and summer months when termites typically swarm, you may see the discarded wings of alates or reproductives near windowsills, or you may even see the swarm itself.

Problem 

Here in Lake Dallas, we mostly experience problems with subterranean termites.  This species can cause the most damage as they constantly eat wood. Eventually, if left unchecked, they will irreparably destroy a structure. Though you may not see the termites themselves, there are some common signs of a termite infestation.

Mud tubes on the exterior of the home that allow termites to move between their nest and their food source. 

As termites eat wood, they will eventually eat to the point where wood sounds hollow when tapped.  

Termites produce excess moisture causing the paint to bubble or peel.  

Termites like to keep their nests clean.  Therefore, they will push waste or frass out through exit holes. Frass resembles small piles of salt and pepper.  

During swarming season, you may find discarded wings near windows or doors.  

Solution 

If you notice any signs of termite infestation or are worried about termites invading your Lake Dallas home or business, reach out to a professional immediately. Though you can exercise preventative measures` such as replacing rotting wood and avoiding moisture problems in the home, termites are not something you can deal with on your own.
