Description
Termites are fascinating insects that serve an essential role in the environment as decomposers, breaking down dead wood and plant matter. Ranging in size from one-eighth to one inch long, termites possess distinctive characteristics that set them apart from other insects. They have a thick, straight waist, unlike the pinched waist seen in ants, which helps in identification.
Their antennae are straight and beaded, another feature that differentiates them from ants, which have bent antennae. When wings are present, termites have two pairs that are equal in length; however, these wings are typically shed once a colony is established. Within the colony, different castes—workers, soldiers, and reproductive members—may display slight variations in appearance, yet they all share these defining traits that make termites unique.

Termites build mud tubes to protect themselves while traveling between their nests and food sources. These tubes can often be found on walls, foundations, or near wooden structures.
Look for wood that sounds hollow when tapped or has a blistered appearance. This could indicate that termites are eating away at the interior.
Swarmers, or reproductive termites, shed their wings after mating. Finding piles of discarded wings near window sills, doors, or other entry points is a clear sign of a potential infestation.
Termite droppings resemble small wood-colored pellets or frass. Finding these near wooden structures can indicate that termites are actively feeding in the area.
