\nThe damage done by Subterranean termite can be extensive if not treated. Over 2,000,000 homes in the U.S. will
\nrequire treatment for termite infestation this year \u2010Florida Department of Agriculture and consumer services.<\/p>\n
\nThe Subterranean termites live in colonies that are hidden behind walls, wood beams, and wooden posts. Moisture
\nis critical for the survival of subterranean termites so they will migrate to and from the soil daily to the food source
\nwhich is usually our home. Large colonies could extend from your home to areas as large as 1\/3 of a mile and as far
\nas 78 yards. While foraging for wood they could travel over distances up to the size of a football field<\/p>\n
\nTermite colonies could contain from 200 000 \u20135 000 000 individuals which forages as far as1\/3 of an acre or as far
\nas 78 yards.<\/p>\n
\nWorker subterranean termites are 3\/8 inch long, have no wings and are white to cream in color. The soldiers are
\nwingless as well, white in color and have a large head and jaws. The king and queen termites are dark brown in
\ncolor. Swarmers have 2 pairs of wings that are the same length The Eastern Subterranean termites swarms
\nprimarily in February to May. Worker termites construct shelter tubes which protects them as they search for
\nfood. While eating they excavate tunnels in wood resulting in structural damage of homes.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
