Subterranean Termites

Subterranean Termites
These are subterranean termites. Due to their nature they tend to be very hard to find. They stay underground where it is moist, since heir bodies require moisture for them to survive. The termite picture on the left shows two termite workers at the top of the picture and one soldier termite at the bottom.
Sometimes they find wood under or on the ground near them. Things like wood piles or even landscaping wood are prime targets for subterranean termites. If they can't find a wood source on the ground, they will build termite tubes up to a wood source. These tubes will run up foundations or can even be straight up off the ground. These tubes keep the termites in contact with the ground and protect them from predators as they go between their colony and their food source. The presence of these tubes running up your foundation or on walls is a sure sign of subterranean termite activity.
