Drywood Termites: What You Need to Know

What Are Drywood Termites?

Drywood termites are a destructive species that infest dry wood structures, including furniture, framing, and flooring. Unlike subterranean termites, they do not require soil contact and can thrive in warm, dry environments. Their ability to remain hidden makes them a serious threat to homes and businesses.

Signs of a Drywood Termite Infestation

  • Small Piles of Frass (Droppings): Drywood termites push out tiny wood-colored droppings from their tunnels.
  • Hollowed or Damaged Wood: Infested wood may sound hollow when tapped.
  • Discarded Wings: After swarming, termites shed their wings near windows or light sources.
  • Tight-Fitting Doors and Windows: Their tunneling can cause wood to warp, making it harder to open doors and windows.

How to Prevent Drywood Termite Infestations

  • Seal Entry Points: Close off cracks and crevices where termites can enter.
  • Use Treated Wood: Opt for termite-resistant materials when building or renovating.
  • Reduce Wood-to-Wood Contact: Store firewood away from your home and keep wooden structures elevated.
  • Schedule Regular Inspections: A professional termite inspection can help detect infestations early.
