DO YOU HAVE TERMITES?
Most people do not how to identify a termite. Termites can easily be confused with ants. As a matter of fact, they have even been referred to as “white ants.” However, this is not accurate. Though, termites do have several things in common with ants, such as their highly socialized colonies, they are actually genetically related to cockroaches. This may help you identify termites from ants.
Termites are generally white, almost a translucent. As a matter of fact, you can see the food in their stomach. However, there is a winged class of termite which is darker. Ants are various colors. Ants can be black, dark red, or brown.
The shape of termites is also different compared to an ant. Termites have six stubby legs. Ants also have six legs, but ants legs are longer in comparison to the termites. Ants have a narrow waist as compared to a termite’s waist.
Some termites and ants have wings. A termite with wings has four wings. The wings on a termite measure twice as long as the body. The wings on the termite are all generally equal size and shape. The back two wings on an ant are smaller than the front two. A winged termite is a darker color.
Some indications you may have a termite infestation:
- A temporary swarm of winged insects in your home or from the soil around your home.
- Any cracked or bubbling paint or frass (termite droppings).
- Wood that sounds hollow when tapped.
- Mud tubes on exterior walls, wooden beams, or in crawl spaces.
- Discarded wings from swarmers.
