No Home is Safe from Termites

The biggest problem with termites is that you usually don't see them or the damage they cause until it's too late. In fact, the annual cost of termite damage to homes in the U.S. is greater than that of fires, storms and floods combined!

Termites are extremely well organized and they can find a way inside your home, regardless of its construction. That's why Command Pest Control offers many treatment methods for termite control and elimination.


Most Common Termites Found in Florida

Subterranean Termites
As their name implies, subterranean termites live in the soil. In the past, they have been difficult to control because their nests are deep underground and their colonies can contain up to one million members. When they find a reliable food source, they'll return to it again and again.

Through our years of research and experience, we've found that the most effective way to control or eliminate a subterranean termite colony is with the Command Pest Control Program featuring the use of Termidor Termiticide. This method targets termites where they live - in the underground colony.

Drywood Termites
Unlike their subterranean cousins, drywood termites do not need to maintain contact with the ground for moisture. As a result, they require a completely different treatment. If your home is attacked by drywood termites, tent fumigation is the most effective option to combat an infestation.

Subterranean Termite
Reticulitermes and Coptotermes spp
The most widespread group of termites.  They cause most of the termite damage to structural timbers in the United States.  Nests are usually in the soil.

Soldier	Winged Reproductive

Description:

The winged reproductive of subterranean termites are black, flattened and about 1/2 inch long. The workers are wingless, about 1/4 inch long and white with a round, yellow-brown head. The soldiers are also wingless and have white bodies and large, rectangular, yellow-brown heads with large mandibles (jaws).

Fiction:

New homes are not susceptible to termite damage.

Fact:

Subterranean Termites are native to every state except Alaska. These little critters cause annually $1 billion worth of damage nation wide. Termites eat wood from the inside out, so detection is limited unless you are a trained professional. Subterranean Termites colonies are usually located in he soil, from which the workers build mud tubes to the wood in structures on which they feed. The dirt tubes are usually located on the outside coming up from the ground, along the footings of the foundation and into the home. Termites will also enter the home through cracks in the concrete. This access point can be undetectable until damage has already been notice. One tale-tale sign is dirt tubes coming out from the ceiling or the wall. Subterranean Termites are always connected to the soil or moisture source. Termites eat cellulose in wood with the help of a special organism in their gut. Although termites look for certain types of wood with a certain moisture content, all wood is susceptible to termite damage if it is the only source of cellulose.

Drywood Termites
Kalotermes, Incisitermes, and others.
Found in the extreme south in a narrow strip from east to west coast.  These termites nest in undecayed wood with very low moisture content.

Drywood Termite Damage These termites nest in damp or dry wood excavating extensive galleries (left and right) clean of any debris (soil, stains, wood chips or shavings) other than their distinctive fecal pellets (below).  Drywood termites have the ability to thrive under arid conditions and are often inadvertently distributed in furniture or other wooden materials, making them difficult structural pests..

Drywood Termite Frass (fecal pellets) The fecal pellets are short hexagonal cylinders with one end blunt and the other pointed. Each side has a longitudinal groove, formed by three pairs of anal muscles. Each pellet is compacted and squeezed to extract all the available water before it is defecated. These pellets are expelled from the galleries at "kick-out holes" on the exterior of the infested wood.
