Termites in Texas – Removal with Green Earth Exterminators
Texas is home to several different types of termites including Subterranean , Formosan and Drywood termites. Green Earth Exterminators offers preconstruction and Postconstruction treatments. We also exterminate Wood Boring Beetles.
Subterranean termites
These termites are found in every state except Alaska, and two major types are common in Texas: the native subterranean termite and the Formosan subterranean termite. Subterranean termites can fit through cracks as small as 1/32nd of an inch, and can cause wood flooring to blister. You will commonly see mud shelter tubes as well as mud behind sheetrock and coming through the wall.
Drywood termites
There are several species of drywood termites in Texas, including Incisitermes snyderi, Cryptotermes brevis, and Incisitermes minor. Drywood termites prefer dry wood, and swarm at night or during the day, depending on the species. One of the signs of infestation will be small pellets of equal size which are the termites fecal matter they push through what is known as kick holes.
Formosan Termites
They are considered the most destructive termites. They have also been given the name Super termite. These termites do not need constant contact with the soil unlike the Subterranean Termite. These termites form carton nests in structures made of saliva and chewed wood. Formosan colonies can consist of several hundred thousand to over a million.
Lyctid Powderpost Beetle
These Beetles are tiny insects, measuring between 1/16 to 1/4 of an inch in length. They have a slim, elongated shape and range in color from reddish-brown to black. The exit holes they create are small, round, and roughly the size of a pinhead. These beetles specifically target wood items made from hardwood trees, including species like oak, ash, walnut, hickory, poplar, and cherry.
