Did you know that a queen termite can lay 20,000 to 30,000 eggs on a daily basis? Queens have been known to live for as long as 45 years, and are committed to one king. The soldiers protect the nest while the workers gather food and build the nest.

Have you found a pile of insect wings outside your home? On windowsills? Trapped in spider webs? It’s likely the wings were shed by termites after they finished swarming in the spring or fall, so you may have a termite problem.

While many termites thrive best in the ground, the Drywood Termite prefers dry wood and gets the moisture it needs from wood that it digests. These termites most commonly go after structural timbers in a home as well as wooden furniture and flooring.
