Types of Termites in Athens, Georgia
The Eastern Subterranean termite is the most common species of termite across the entire United States and is the most common type of termite in Georgia. The Formosan termite is an invasive species from China – and is now the most aggressive type of termite found in Georgia. The Drywood termite is also found in Georgia, but rare and typically found around coastal areas – and rarely seen in the Metro areas.
The Eastern Subterranean and Formosan termites are both in-ground dwellers that can enter your house through flooring – they can squeeze through gaps less than one-sixteenth of an inch wide or eat through a rubber expansion joint to gain entrance. They live underground because of a constant need for water and moisture.
What to Look For
Hollow-sounding wood, sagging floors or ceilings and crumbling paint on the exterior walls are all clear signs that termites have been at work. The insects leave behind clay tubes to protect themselves as well as fecal pellets consisting of hard elongated oval pieces with six concave sides.
Wood Boring Beetles & Wood Decay Fungus
We offer a one time service for Wood Destroying Organisms. Your technician will make an initial inspection to determine the pest management plan that is right for you. This may involve installing a moisture barrier and increasing ventilation in order to control the problem.
