Eastern termite workers

Workers

  • Eastern subterranean worker termites are small, white, blind, have no wings, and cannot reproduce.
  • They are the largest group in the colony and provide the food.
  • They are the ones that do the damage, feeding on wood and other cellulose materials, fixing the nests, and building tunnels.
Eastern termite soldiers

Soldiers

  • Soldiers are brown to rust orange and have a rectangular head that is armored.
  • The soldiers are about 1/4 inch-long. 
  • They are the defenders of the colony with pinchers that are used for crushing ants. If a colony is disturbed, soldier termites are the first line of defense.
Termite Swarmers

Swarmers

  • Eastern subterranean swarmers are dark brown with brownish-grey wings that are shed once they land.
  • Swarmers are reproductive termites. These are winged termites that will leave their current colony to find a mate and a place to build a new one.
  • Swarmers are often the first sign of a termite problem.
