2. Subterranean termites account for 90% of termite damage in the United States.
Termites cause up to $5 billion in damage
per year!
Subterranean Termite colonies can have up
to 2 million members
Termite colonies eat non-stop,
24 hours a day, seven days a week!
Subterranean termites need contact
with the soil to survive.
They live in underground colonies or in
wet areas aboveground.
They build tunnels to reach foodEvery
spring, groups of reproductive termites
fly off to start new colonies.
Subterranean termites are the most destructive kind of termite. They can eat a lot of wood and they can cause
a lot of expensive damage to a house! They can destroy building foundations, wooden support beams, plastic
plumbing pipes, sub-flooring, insulation … even swimming pool liners and filtration systems! Termites can also
injure or destroy living trees and shrubs.

4. Because Subterranean termites
primarily nest underground, they
have an extensive foraging system –
which they use to locate cellulose
material. They are relentless in
searching for food and can enter a
structure through a crack as narrow as
1/32 of an inch !!! Once the termite workers have found a
food source, they feed on it - and return
to the nest to feed the
other members of the colony. Because
they are blind, and have an aversion to
light, they sometimes bore through the
center of wood and their presence may be
unknown to the homeowner for quite
some time.
