Why Termites Are Destructive Pests
Termites are masters at remaining hidden within structures while they feed and cause immense damage. Here are some key reasons termites are so destructive:
- They Eat Constantly – Termite colonies contain workers that never stop consuming wood and other cellulose material as long as conditions allow.
- They Cause Structural Weakness – Termites damage the integrity of structural timber. Once damaged, wood cannot properly support weight loads.
- They Bore Within Materials – Termites tunnel into materials, hollowing them out from the inside and leaving only a thin outer shell. This damage often remains undetected for some time.
- They Work 24/7 – Termites don’t take breaks. They continuously work to infest and consume wood material as long as temperature and moisture conditions are favorable.
- They Spread Quickly – Termite colonies contain thousands of workers that can spread quickly throughout a structure, expanding the areas of infestation and damage.
Identifying a Termite Infestation
Catching termite activity early is key to preventing major home damage. Here are some signs that may indicate termites in or around your Riceboro home:
- Wood Damage – Look closely at exposed timber and wood surfaces for early signs of damage. Sawdust or wood debris present may indicate termites are active.
- Swarmers – Seeing winged insects emerging inside the home could mean a termite colony is large enough to be producing swarmers that seek to form new colonies.
- Discarded Wings – The shed wings of swarmers may be found near windows, door frames, or along edges of infested materials.
- Mud Tubes – Termites construct tubes from mud and wood along edges of walls, pillars, foundations, etc. to travel unseen between colony and food sources.
- Hollow Wood – Tapping on exposed wood surfaces can reveal areas that sound hollow due to interior damage. Soft spots in wood may also indicate infestation.
- Pest Droppings – Frass pellets from termite workers may accumulate within infested areas in walls, attics, basements, crawl spaces, and other hidden areas.
If you suspect a termite problem in your Riceboro home, contact Ideal Pest Control. Our trained technicians will thoroughly inspect your home and confirm if termites are present. The sooner an infestation is detected, the less damage the termites can inflict.

Types of Termites
Termites are a type of wood-destroying insect that can cause significant damage to homes and other structures. There are three main types of termites:
Subterranean Termites
These termites build their nests underground and require contact with soil to survive. They feed on wood and cellulose-based materials and can cause significant damage to wooden structures.
Drywood Termites
These termites do not require contact with soil and live in dry, undecayed wood. They are typically found in warm, coastal regions and can cause severe damage to wooden furniture, floors, and structural timbers.
Dampwood Termites
These termites prefer damp and decaying wood and are often found in areas with high humidity levels. They are less destructive than subterranean and drywood termites but can still cause damage to structures if left untreated.

If our inspection confirms termites in your home, Ideal Pest Control will advise you on the best treatment options based on the extent and location of the infestation. Here are some of the most effective termite control techniques we use:

Frequently Asked Questions
Do termites only infest old homes, or can they affect new constructions as well?
Termites are not selective regarding the age of structures. New constructions are just as susceptible if proper preventive measures are not taken during the building process.
Are there natural or eco-friendly methods for termite control?
Yes, some eco-friendly methods exist, such as using nematodes or certain botanical extracts. However, their effectiveness may vary, and professional advice is recommended for severe infestations.
Do termites fly?
Yes, during spring and summer months, winged termites called alates may emerge from infested wood and swarm. This is a key stage of their reproduction cycle. Swarmers are a sure sign of an active termite colony nearby.
What temperature do termites die at?
Termites begin to die off when temperatures drop below 55° Fahrenheit and they suffer high mortality rates as temperatures approach freezing 32° F. This is why termites mainly live in warmer climates, though some species tolerate cooler areas.
How can I check for termites?
Carefully examine window frames, trim boards, furniture, and structures bordering soil for sections containing tiny holes, coating sheds, blistered wood or evidence of tunnels. Tap wood listening for hollow damaged areas.
