Pest of the Month TERMITE Reticulitermes Flavipes The Eastern Subterranean termite has four social members of its colony: King, Queen, Solider, and Worker. The worker looks like a small maggot, which is responsible for feeding all members of its colony and causes millions of dollars worth of termite damage each year. Swarmers (Kings & Queens) emerge in March or May to propagate the species. These members look like small black flying ants that shed their wings before mating. On average, a termite colony may contain as many as one million members. They are mostly dormant during the winter. Worker termites may construct mud tubes, which are used as transit runways to breach adverse conditions and to transport food (cellulose). One-sixteenth of an inch is all that is needed for termites to enter your home from sub-grade level. Modern elimination techniques include baiting as well as the use of low odor chemicals. |
