Learn about major termite species, their habits, infestation signs, and our professional control solutions.
White to light brown with large dark-headed soldiers
Colonies live underground and build mud tubes to access food. They cause significant structural damage by hollowing out wood from the inside.
Small, pale-bodied termites with darker heads
Infest dry wood such as furniture, doors, and flooring without needing contact with soil. Silent destroyers that damage wooden structures over time.
Termite Habits and Risks
Termites are silent destroyers that feed on cellulose materials, compromising the structural integrity of homes and buildings. Key behaviors include:
- Subterranean Termite: Builds mud tubes to reach food sources; consumes damp or decaying wood and plastics. Extremely destructive, hollowing out wood from within.
- Drywood Termite: Infests dry wood like furniture, doors, and flooring without soil contact, causing hidden long-term damage.
Early detection and proper management are vital to prevent costly damage and protect your property.
Signs of Termite Infestation
Watch for these common indicators of termite activity:
- Mud tubes along walls, foundations, or pipes (Subterranean Termites).
- Hollow-sounding wood when tapped.
- Discarded wings near windows or doors (termite swarmers).
- Frass – tiny, powdery fecal pellets (Drywood Termites).
- Small holes in wooden surfaces (Drywood Termites).
Recognizing these warning signs helps you take timely action with professional termite control services.
Professional Termite Control Methods
1. Baiting System
Installation of above-ground or in-ground bait stations that attract and eliminate the entire colony. Eco-friendly and effective for both active and preventive control.
2. Slab Injection
Injecting liquid termiticide into soil beneath concrete slabs to create a continuous chemical barrier, preventing termite entry.
3. Soil Treatment
Applying termiticide around building foundations to form a protective zone that blocks termite access and safeguards structures.
Sincerae Services applies Integrated Pest Management (IPM) principles, ensuring complete elimination and long-term termite protection with high safety and environmental standards.
