Termite Identification

Termites vary widely in appearance but are sometimes mistaken for ants. However, they are usually around half an inch in length. They can be any color from off-white to brown.

There are several different species of termite in the US, but the most prominent ones in Atlanta, GA are the Eastern subterranean termite, the West Indian drywood termite, and the Formosan termite.
If your home or business is dealing with a termite infestation, you may notice mud tubes, termite droppings (called frass), dropped wings, and damaged wood. If you suspect a termite infestation, don’t hesitate to get professional help.
In broad terms, the termite life cycle consists of the egg stage, the nymph stage, and the adult stage. There are a few different roles that adult termites can take on, such as reproductives, soldiers, and workers.
Winged termites occasionally swarm away from their nest to start a new one. They establish a new queen and set up shop in a promising new area. If you notice winged termites on your property, it may be time for preemptive action.
Flying termites are tasked with expanding termite territory by flying out and “scouting” areas for new nests. Read more about them here.
Termites and flying ants may look very similar, and they serve similar purposes to their colonies, but there are a few ways to tell them apart. Read on to learn more.
