Protect your home, furniture, or business from termites by learning how to identify, prevent, and control these silent wood destroyers before they cause serious damage.
Termites are soft-bodied, pale insects that live in large colonies and feed primarily on cellulose found in wood, paper, and plant material. They are often mistaken for ants but have straight antennae, uniform waists, and equal-sized wings. Worker termites are creamy white, while swarmers (reproductive termites) are dark brown or black with transparent wings.
Family: Rhinotermitidae / Kalotermitidae
