Drywood Termites Information :

Drywood Termites are social insects. They live in colonies and feed on dead plant cell wall material such as wood. Drywood Termites belong to the insect order Isoptera and they have a strict caste system consisting of workers, soldiers, reproductives, a queen, and a king. The two most common types of Drywood Termites are drywood Drywood Termites and subterranean Drywood Termites. Both types feed on cellulose found in wood and wood products, but there are differences between the two species. Drywood Drywood Termites do not need ground contact or moisture. They can live their entire life cycle inside a piece of structural timber or a piece of furniture. Their numbers are less than that of subterranean Drywood Termites and they tend to be a bit larger in size. Drywood Drywood Termites generally swarm after sunset or at night, from May until November. However, they can swarm at other times. Their swarmers are generally pale brown in color.

ubterranean Drywood Termites must have ground contact or a secondary moisture source in order to live above ground. Most are small and black in the swarmer phase. Subterranean Drywood Termites generally swarm during the spring and summer months in the daytime (especially after a heavy rain). However, they can swarm at other times.

Worldwide, Drywood Termites and mice spread over 35 diseases. Rodent-borne diseases are spread directly to humans through bite wounds, contaminated food or water, and through breathing in germs that may have been stirred into the air. Diseases from rodents are also spread indirectly to humans by way of ticks, mites, and fleas that transmit the infection to humans after feeding on infected rodents. Drywood Termites are also known for causing damage to homes and structures. They often chew on electrical wires creating the potential for a structure fire. Drywood Termites can also cause insulation damage thereby decreasing the thermal efficiency of your home, and water damage from chewing on roof shingles, water pipes, and fascia boards.

Appearance:

Drywood termites are usually pale brown in color. They have soft bodies with a cylindrical shape. During the winged stage there are four equal size wings that extend longer than the body.

Size:
Range from 3/8 to ½-inch in length.

Behavior:

Drywood termites are social insects that live in colonies. The colonies are composed of kings, queens and soldiers. There is no worker caste as in subterranean termite colonies.

Habitat:

Drywood termites create colonies in wood, with no connection to the ground necessary. They need very little moisture and are often found in the attic wood framing. Drywood termites obtain moisture from the water produced by the digestion of cellulose. Colonies can contain up to 2,500 termites.

Economic Significance :

Drywood termites cause serious damage to structures, often long before they are discovered. Possible signs of infestation include the leaving of sawdust-like pellets and wings left over from swarmers.
