What Are Termites?
A termite is in the family of wood-destroying insects that feed on wood, paper products, or cellulose material. We typically find three different termites in Florida: Subterranean, Drywood Termites, and Damp Wood. Termites cause billions of dollars in damage to businesses and homes yearly. Termites threaten homeowners more considerably than tornadoes, lightning, fires, and hurricanes. It is estimated that there may be 1,000 pounds of termites for every human on earth! These are just a few reasons to protect your property from subterranean termites, drywood termites, and the damage they cause. Imperial Pest Prevention has employed the most technologically advanced Subterranean and Drywood termite treatment techniques for years while offering the highest quality service and competitive pricing in the pest control industry.

What Type Of Termites Are In Florida?
Subterranean Termites
Subterranean termites come from the Isoptera insect order, which has lived on earth for millions of years. There are three forms of subterranean termites: workers, soldiers, and swarmers. Each of these forms, ' castes,' has specific characteristics. Subterranean termites construct mud tubes known as shelter tubes or tunnels. Subterranean Termites require constant earth contact and build these" Mud Tubes" to shelter themselves from predators and create a highway to food sources they feed. The Subterranean termite is called subterranean because it lives underground;
subterranean colonies can consist of numbers in the millions; for this reason, Subterranean Termites are the most destructive termite species. Termites are a non-sleeping constant energy source. They will consistently feed 24 hours a day, seven days a week, and all 365 days of the year nonstop with jaws that quickly destroy wood at a rapid rate. If left untreated, Subterranean Termites will cause mass damage to the home to the point that it may become structural and ultimately result in expensive repairs. If you suspect a termite infestation or see insects around, contacting a pest control specialist like Imperial Pest Prevention is best. Call Us at 386-956-9506 so we can perform a WDO inspection and discuss subterranean termite treatment options.
Drywood Termites
Drywood termites, wood-destroying insects, generally live, feed, and nest in wood containing deficient moisture levels. Drywood Termites do not require earth contact as Subterranean termites do. In Florida, we are in a very humid state.
Because of this, undamaged wood like that in your home contains a moisture content to a certain degree. This amount of moisture is enough for drywood termites to pull a food and moisture source, resulting in them thriving.
A byproduct of Drywood Termites feeding is fecal pellets known as frass. Frass is small 6-sided concave pellets resembling coffee grounds and is extremely hard. These small pellets are usually how a homeowner finds out that Drywood Termites feed on their home. Often, a homeowner sees them in a neat little pile and cleans or vacuums them up, only to find them quickly return.
If you suspect a termite infestation or see insects around, it is best to contact a pest control specialist like Imperial Pest Prevention; call us at (386) 956-9506 so we can perform a WDO Inspection and discuss Drywood termite treatment options. Since Drywood Termites do not require ground contact, they have also been known to infest furniture. Many documented cases exist, especially with antique collectors who buy a secondhand piece of furniture to discover later that it had Drywood Termites. Drywood termites will not discriminate against any wood, contrary to many people's beliefs. They will readily consume timbers, framing, flooring, and other types of woodwork in buildings and furniture.
If you notice any possible signs of termites, we recommend you contact us at (386) 956-9506, so we can evaluate what you may be seeing. Drywood Termite treatments can be as simple as a spot treatment and as severe as needing a tent fumigation specialist. To see treatment options, please click this link for Termite Treatment Options.
