Subterranean Termite Control Solutions by Pied Piper Pest Control

In Texas, the allure of warm weather, rich history, and diverse attractions is marred by the presence of a particularly destructive pest: the subterranean termite. These termites, alongside their Formosan and drywood counterparts, inflict hundreds of millions of dollars in damage to Texas homes annually, making them a formidable challenge for homeowners across the state.

The Subterranean Termite Threat

Subterranean termites are the most common termite species in Texas. These pests thrive by tunneling in moist soil in search of cellulose, their primary food source found in wood, plants, and even insulation. The stealthy nature of their underground tunnels often leaves homeowners unaware of an infestation until significant damage has been done. Large colonies, some numbering up to two million members, work tirelessly to consume cellulose, causing extensive damage to properties.

Signs of an Infestation

Homeowners might first become aware of a termite problem when they observe flying termites on their property or find discarded termite wings near windows. Subterranean termite swarms, a sign of an attempt to establish new colonies, typically occur in spring and summer, often after rainfall. The presence of swarmers indoors usually indicates a well-established colony on the property.

Attracting Factors

Subterranean termites are primarily drawn to cellulose-rich environments, especially damp or decaying wood. However, they can adapt to consume a variety of materials, including paper and drywall, if necessary. Conditions that might attract these pests include:

• Dead trees and limbs in contact with the house
• Rotting plant matter near the home’s foundation
• Fallen logs and wood piles near living structures
