Drywood termites in South Florida are much more different than their subterranean cousins. Drywood termites do not require any contact with soil. These termites acquire their nutrients, and moisture through the digestion of cellulose, which is found in most household materials.

Drywood Termites in South Florida have a tendency to create multiple colonies inside structures. Although often confused with sawdust, the most common way to identify an infestation is with the discovery of fecal pellets. Swarming and infestations of Drywood Termites in South Florida are usually activated by warm temperatures, and heavy rain, during the Spring and Summer months. Soldier and Nymph termites remain inside the colony at all times.

The Soldier termite guards the colony against attacks from enemies: ants. Nymphs (juvenile) termites aid in all of the functions of the colony, from feeding soldier termites and assisting the King and Queen with new young, to constructing and expanding the colony.

Once successful, these Alates soon pair, enter a small hole and create a new colony, warranting the need for services to control Drywood Termites in South Florida, very urgent.
