Types of Termites

18 posts

Different termite groups create different evidence, live in different parts of a structure, and lead inspectors toward different questions. This category explains drywood, subterranean, Formosan, dampwood, swarmers, and common lookalikes so readers can describe what they found more clearly before speaking with a professional.
Species context is useful because a mud tube, a pile of frass, or a spring swarm does not point to the same inspection path in every region or building type. The articles here help homeowners understand behavior, habitat, and risk patterns, but they should not be used to choose treatment on their own. Treatment selection depends on confirmed species, activity, access, structure, product labels, and local professional judgment.
