- Subterranean and drywood termites have different features and require different treatments. Subterranean termites live underground and come up to feed
Drywood termites nest inside wood, framing, studs, and ceiling joists.
These tips will help you tell them apart:
Tip #1: Look for droppings
Salt and pepper droppings can be evidence of drywood termites. The shade will match the color of the wood they are eating.
Tip #2: Look for Swarmers-It’s not unusual to see a couple hundred at a time.
• Subterranean-entirely black in color
• Drywood-red head and black body
• Both types have four equal size wings
Tip #3: Different termites have different treatments
• Fumigation only works on drywood termites
• Subterranean termites require a soil treatment
Tip #4: Look for a mud tube
• This is a sign of a subterranean termite.
• They build tubes to avoid sunlight.
• Tubes go right from the nest to your wood.
• Mud tubes can go as high as six feet.
Tip #5: Subterranean termites love moisture
• Check areas where condensation accumulates.
• Remove rotting wood and roots from around your house.
• Leaks in walls are prime termite bait.
Tip #6: Drywood termites are hard to spot.
• Touch painted wood and listen for crinkles.
• Termites can eat wood and leave only the paint behind.
• You won’t notice damage just by looking at it.
Tip #7: Check wood outdoors for termite evidence.
• Termites eat the home from the outside in.
• Check your eaves, rafter tails, fascia boards, and window/door trim.
• Termites are attracted to dry rot.

Bruh no cap I was sleeping and I woke up to a shit load of termites on my bed now I'm paranoid to sleep
Thanks for the info i learned so much from this video.
Great information. Thank you!
Great informational video
Very good, thanks
termite guys sign you up for lifetime contracts!
Can I e-mail you a picture of the termites in my home? I still can't tell what type they are
id see a red thing it look like a termite cause it had a big jaw but its red?
That’s a soldier. They protect the nest.
Can you have both species?
Yes. I have had both simultaneously. Depending on what part of the country you live in will determine the likelihood of that possibility.
Subterranean termite
Why do all you guys only explain only subs and dry. You never tell people there are agricultural termites that we never see unless in time of drought. For I have seen alot of other exterminator misdiagnosed agricultural as sub and the treatment does not work on agricultural.
you don't tell how to DIY treatment
If your house has termite infections, I wouldn't recommend DIY. If you have termites on your property but not your house, you can buy termiticide to spot treat it.
