Subterranean Termites Inspection Tips from Los Angeles Pest Control Company
Subterranean termites don't play nice. Their food source is anything that is made from wood, paper or cotton and these rotten little pests are responsible for more structural damage than any other insect in the entire United States.
These pests live in large groups called colonies. An average colony can easily exceed 20,000 insects and one big fat queen. All 20,001 mouths are hungry, and they will chow right through anything that they gets in their way including your house. The fat hungry queen can produce anywhere from 5,000 to 10,000 more workers to help feed her entire colony in as little as one year. These unwanted insects mean serious business, and they can quickly do some very serious damage to just about any type of structure that is either made from wood, or contains wood. They are just doing what they have been designed to do, and nature has given them the tools that they need to survive by destroying your property.
Is this a serious problem?
Finding any type of termites in your home or place of business is a very serious situation that could very quickly bloom into a very serious problem. If the subterranean termites are left alone, they will quickly multiply into a colony of over 30,000 hungry mouths that can eat their way through the lumber in your home or place of business before you even know it. This is one problem that you do not want to ignore.
What are the signs of subterranean termites?

Termites don't like the cooler weather. They seem to spring back to life and start multiplying in the early months of Spring, and as the heat from the warmer weather continues to rise, so does the population of subterranean termites. When a colony starts to grow, they do one thing that makes them very easy to find. They swarm, and when they do it could be hundreds or thousands of them flying in and around your home or place of business. This is the easiest way to know that you may have a problem on your hands. If you have insects swarming around your home or business, it is not a good sign, and they need to stopped immediately.
There are other symptoms of subterranean termites that may not be so obvious. These symptoms can be very difficult to notice, and in most cases they take a highly trained eye to discover them. These are the types of symptoms that point to a colony that is early in its development cycle. This is when it is the easiest to eradicate the destructive pests forever. This is the time to take action, and the only way to determine the existence of a premature subterranean termite colony is to have an expert inspect your property.
