Termite Swarm Hot Spot Map from The Termite Institute
Termites date back to the days of the dinosaurs, and they have
always played an important role in the natural world, by eating and
thus eliminating fallen and dead wood. Unfortunately, the tiny insects
don’t discriminate between a tree lying in a forest and the wood studs
supporting our homes.
Most termites are subterranean, meaning they live in underground
nests or colonies, often near a tree, stump, wood pile or other source
of “food.” But drywood termites, also found in the United States, live
exclusively inside dead wood and never tunnel underground. Termite basics.
