Eastern termite workers

Worker termites are the hardworking backbone of the colony, constantly on the move to collect food and, in the process, intentionally causing damage to homes and businesses. These busy insects do more than just forage; they also play a key role in building and maintaining vital structures like mud tubes and nests. These cream-colored workers are soft-bodied and resemble larvae.

Eastern termite soldiers

Soldier termites are the brave defenders of the nest, always ready to protect their home from invaders. Their primary adversaries are ants, which pose the greatest threat to the colony. With their larger heads and powerful mandibles, soldier termites are well-equipped to fend off these pesky intruders, ensuring the safety and security of their colony.

Termite Swarmers

Swarmers or flying termites are what Long Island homeowners will see more of around windows and doors. They have the potential to be kings or queens of new termite colonies. They don’t actually cause damage, but seeing these winged termites is a sure sign you have a termite infestation. These flying termites have dark exoskeletons and two sets of long wings.

Signs of a Termite Infestation

Termites can cause significant damage to homes and other structures on Long Island, NY, and it’s crucial to take action quickly if you suspect an infestation. Here are some of the key signs that may indicate a termite problem:

  • Swarms of flying termites: In the spring, termites will often swarm to mate and form new colonies. This can result in large numbers of flying insects in or around your home.
  • Discarded Wings: After swarming, reproductive termites shed their wings. Finding piles of these wings near windowsills or doorways is a strong indicator of an infestation.
  • Presence of termite mud tubes: Termites construct tubes made of mud and other materials to protect themselves as they move from the soil to the wood in your home. If you see mud tubes on the exterior walls or around the foundation of your home, it may indicate a termite infestation.
  • Damaged wood: Termites eat wood from the inside out, so you may not see any visible signs of damage on the surface. However, if you tap on the wood and it sounds hollow, or if you see sawdust-like material, it may be a sign that termites are at work.
  • Cracks or blisters in paint or wallpaper: As termites eat away at the wood in your home, they can cause the surface to bulge, creating visible cracks or blisters in paint or wallpaper.
  • Sagging Floors or Ceilings: Severe termite damage can lead to structural issues, causing floors or ceilings to sag or buckle under weight.
